What type of CD-R burner do you have. Is it in your computer or a stand alone unit?

If you're going to use your computer you need to do something like this:

MiniDisc player -> Soundcard (line-in or if possible digital in) -> Recorder program (CD Wave is free from www.cdwave.com, and you can also chop the big wav file into tracks) -> CD burning program of your choice.

Hope that makes sense. it's pretty easy.

Oh, and if you recorded the show in (shudder) LP2 or anything like that you'll have to split it up as it probably wont fit on a single CD.

Oh, and Mike B, big +T for running Acid Casualties.  Malkmus kicks ass (just wish he would tour more).

the easiest way to do it would be to run line out of your MD to line in on your computer's soundcard.

I've been doing my MD transfers from an optical line out of my home MD deck to an optical line in on my componant CD recorder in my stereo. Just set the track breaks and hit record, and 80 minutes later I have a digital copy. Good stuff.

If the discs are non-LP and you want a digital copy, just let me know, I'd be happy to help out.
