Thanks to everyone who replied to this thread. As a result I have succesfully transferred my first MD to CD with excellent results. I was using a Sony MZ-R70 and having to use headphones on the MD to Line-In on the PC. As suggested I recorded into Cool Edit and then cleaned the recording up before burning onto CD - just as you described! Now I'm hooked which is good because I have so much stuff on MD that I want to transfer to CD so I can play it in the car.

Thanks again.

Tim
