    I can help with your first question here. I understand that the MD
digital connector is of the SPDIF (Sony Philips Digital Interface Format?)
format.  But it's an optical connector, the SBLive is digital.  So you'd
need a converter.

    I check out all this info until I realised my portable MD recorded
doesn't have a digital out.  :-(
