I am trying to transfer a recorded event (via mic) from my minidisc to my laptop for onward copying to mp3/ cd. I have connected the MD and laptop via a 3.5mm jack to jack cable from the phones output (analogue) to the mic in / line in (pink) socket on the laptop and am trying to use sound - sound recorder in my Windows XP laptop using the path Start - Accessories - Entertainment - Sound Recorder. I have clicked on the speaker icon at the bottom r.h. toolbar to expand the volume menu to include the mic in volume slider on which I have unclicked Mute and set the slider to about half way. I have replayed the source from the MD and it relays through the speakers OK but when I press the red dot Record button on Sound - Sound Recorder it only seems to give a max 60 seconds of recording. Has anyone any suggestions on how I can successfully transfer this 1 hour long recording to my hard drive?
