Help with tranferring audio

[Tety Garf]

I've been struggling for months trying to record vintage programs of
jazz and opera which are often on Italian/Spanish radio/tv. So far
I've been able to make CDs by recording on minidisk player then imput
music to a computer and burn CD. Howevere this is becoming very
tiresom, and there is also is the problem of having to watch the time
when mini disk capacity is just running out.
It is impossible to connect the receiver to my iMac (opposite position
in the house) I've asked around and a CD recorder was suggested as the
simplest way to get around my problem.
I've noticed that these systems are not as popular, what is the reason
for this? Perhaps DVDs are taking over, or are they not reliable? I've
seen a couple on the net and I am attracted by the rather simple way
they work.
Could you please advise about it?

Many thanks in advance.

They are pretty much a PITA. Legacy hardware. CD burners in PCs are too
convenient, too cheap.

Most people must figure out how to connect their radio/TV their PC. They do
something crazy like maybe move the radio or the TV or get a second one.

You just can't help being a snide asshole, can you Arnold?
