I have a large number of personal MiniDisc recordings which I want to preserve as FLAC format. Losing track markers would be a huge inconvenience, so I can't use an analogue recording. After a recommendation, my attack plan is: * Acquire a soundcard that has toslink input, and supports IEC958_SUBFRAME_* sample formats * Write some software to record, starting a new .wav file each time the track number in the SPDIF advances Can anyone recommend a soundcard I can buy that fits the requirements? It shows up in only a few places in the code; hda, cmipci, au88x0, atiixp, and I don't have enough knowledge to know what products these correspond to. I don't mind if it's USB, PCI or PCI-Express or any form factor -- since this is just a one-off job. I'm time short; I'm really looking for the 'easiest' solution to my overall problem. So if anything already exists, whatever platform, I'd love to hear it. I even considered NetMD on Windows to get to the files, and some kind of ffmpeg to decode them. But apparently NetMD devices can't be used to copy from the discs, only to them. The hardware is Pioneer MJ-D707 MiniDisc recorder which has Toslink optical digital output.
