I have a number of old minidisks and want to convert the music on

the digital form and "just" convert that, rather than go through the
analogue output when I play an MD, which causes some loss of quality.

Good idea.

Can this be done, and how?

player with sp-dif output, soundcard or computer with sp-dif input.


Which of course still means converting from ATRAC to PCM/Wav to MP3. You may
lose a *little* less than going via an analog connection, but "some loss of
quality" is unavoidable if you want .MP3's from MD.
