Archiving Minidiscs

Hello all I've decided it's time to archive all my minidisks on to another format and sell my minidisk deck. I'm only bothering with my radio mixes that i used to put together as i can get the albums from other sources. Is there a program that will detect the track changes in a digital signal from a minidisk player? I'm going to be recording it all via the digital optical in on my teratec ewx 96.

My other query is that i have a really expensive cd player so i'm wondering whether to record the minidisks as wavs rather than realtime mp3 enocoding. Do you think it would be worth it?

cheers,

g.

Why not use a lossless encoder for anything precious and save quite some space over WAV?

I couldn't burn lossless straight to cd's. I've not been impressed with lossless simply because played back via a pc, even digitally it's no match for my cd player. Back tg the minidisk thing, i thought they transmitted the track starts as a digital code... anyone know if this is correct?

umm-I beg to differ. Nero will burn directly from lossless files if it has the plugin for the format . Foobar2000 will burn directly from lossless files if you have Nero 6 installed. And Burrnn! will also make cds direct from lossless files. I make cds all the time from my flac files.
you will make mp3's for compatibility reasons.
