computer info management image
Tarun Bane
Hello,
I'd like to upload some music on minidiscs to a computer but my player does not have the usb connection. I've looked around but I'm completely clueless tech-wise and don't know what to look for. I'm looking for a minidisc player that either comes with software if needed or doesn't need any.
I'd really appreciate your help if you could recommend something within $50-100.
Thanks a lot all.

I seem to remember Sony did make a PC-compatible, full-size home MD machine, but it was very rare because hardly anyone bought it as mp3s had already established themselves. I think some of the Sony Net MD walkmans could be plugged into PCs, though whether it was to transfer from PC to MD, rather than from MD to PC, I can't remember. Have a look here for more info:

You can still take the analogue output from your existing MD player into the line input on your sound card. To do this, you'll need a cable with the normal hi-fi connectors at one end, and the small, walkman-style headphone connector at the other (this end goes into the line input on your PC's sound card).
I think I'm right in saying MD decks don't have digital outputs, or there's some sort of copyright management system that prevents digital-to-digital copying. This was done in order to prevent digital piracy (could be wrong about this, though). Otherwise, if you had a sound card with a digital input (usually only to be found on pricier PC sound cards), you could hook up the digital output from an MD deck to the digital input on your sound card.

Why does my computer lose Internet connection everytime I turn the computer back on?
Duskie
When I turn my computer back on, I always have to go in and manually reconnect by entering password and the modem access code. How can I fix this?
@ eliteepr1977 - Yes, I am on a DSL connection.
@ Daniel S - My internet has always been available up until a couple weeks ago, so I have no idea why this suddenly happened. And how do I set it to auto log in?
Answer
If the username/pw you're talking about iauthenticates you to your ISP, it sounds like you may be on a DSL connection that uses PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) and your username and pw is stored locally on the computer. Try moving your PPPoE connection info to the router (and not on the computer.)
If you're talking about a WiFi connection dropping, and you have to retype in your username/pw to get back on wirelessly, Turn off Windows' ability to turn off your wireless card to conserve power, like so:
Right-click My Computer > Properties > Hardware tab > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Right-click your WiFi network adapter, go to Properties > Power Management tab > deselect "turn off this device to conserve power
