Minidisc ? It'd still need digitising, no ?

MiniDisc is digital. Some have digital out so could transfer to the
computer in the digital domain if you have a soundcard which accepts
this. But the data compression system MiniDisc uses is rather old and
may not be the best.

Weren't all the UK Minidisc recorders (and possibly EU ones too)
restricted to not having digital out? I looked for one to transfer some
live recordings of my band from and couldn't find one.

Dunno them all. I've certainly seen toslink out on them. But MiniDisc was
only ever designed as a domestic format - never as a mastering one.
Although it did find uses in broadcast, as rather better than things like
NAB carts.
