How to Extract From a Mini Disc Player

You can record and extract data from a mini disc.

A mini disc player is a small, rectangular device that holds music files. The mini disc player looks like a tiny floppy disc, although there is a metal spinning disc that records audio information. If you have a mini disc and a mini disc player, it is possible to extract the audio files to your computer system.

Things You'll Need

• RCA to 3.5mm audio cable

Instructions

1. Plug the RCA ends of the cables into the "Audio Out" ports on the mini disc player.

2. Connect the 3.5mm end of the cable into the "Line-In" port on your computer.

3. Power on the mini disc player and insert the mini disc, if it isn't already.

4. Click "Start," "All Programs," "Accessories," "Entertainment" and "Windows Recorder." This loads a recording application onto the screen.

5. Click the input option and set it to "Line In." Press "Play" on the mini disc player. Click "Record" in the program to extract the music information from the mini disc onto your computer. Click "Stop" at any time to stop the recording process.
