The only way to transfer MD recordings digitally to a PC, in less than real-time, is to buy a Sony RH-1 and use the latest version of SonicStage. This combination of hardware and software allows the 'uploading' of tracks to your computer. However there is still a restriction in that recordings originally made with NetMD cannot ever be transferred.

Basically as long as the recordings were made through the optical or 'line in' socket, or made with SimpleBurner, then it should be OK, but if they were made through the USB connection then the above NetMD restriction applies.

As gamma1 suggests, the only universal way without buying an RH-1 is to re-record them from MD to PC via an analogue lead.
