I don't know from experience, but I can't see why it wouldn't since writing occurs from the inside out. Put one in and do a mock burn and see what happens. If it doesn't give errors, then I'd give it a try. The small disks cost more than the regular ones but still they're not so expensive that it wouldn't be worth it to find out. Besides, if it doesn't work you'll have a dandy shot glass coaster.. wink

well i don't have a few things currently: a. a linux system, after i get my new dvd drive(hopefully it will work now) i will get linux back on my main box. b. the mini disk currently. c. the knowledge of what prog to use to burn?

it is a sony one....one of the cheaper ones...what do you recommend for burning? When i had linux, i just used gnome toaster, and that worked well for me.

If you feel comfortable with Gnome-toaster then continue to use it. I personally think no burner (I'm aware of), Linux, Windows or otherwise, can even come close to comparing to K3b when it comes to GUI and convenience. Burncenter is a good, easy to use command line burner.

but is there a way to change to the minidisk player for the burn? What is that burning prog you speak of?

Have you seen the minidiscs yet? Are they the real minidiscs, or the Sony plastic encased ones?

So, what you have is a player or recorder?

 

What interface does it have to transfer the data> USB or audio? I guess what I am asking is what model is it?

 

What you need is software to transfer the music files to the player/recorder, since this is not a standard cd to be burned.

 

I have a Sony minidisc recorder/player, with the plastic encased mini-cd's. What I need is an audio card that can record the music via an analog or digital signal output. Have not tried ths yet with Linux, but I recently aquired a sound card that can do the digital transfer.

 

Let's see what you have and perhaps someone has the answer.
