    If your computer's sound card supports optical digital out, connect the
    soundcard into the MD, simply pop the CD-R in your computer, turn on your
    computer's CD player and set the MD to record...

    Too bad you can't do it the other way around; 90% of Mini Discs do not have
    digital out.
