u/CJT-80

Hi there I'm new to the minidisc Reddit but I have an older Pioneer MJ-D707. My question is about copying my existing MD's over to a PC. I wondered if a Net MD deck/portable would be the better option as it transfers direct via USB, however having not used the format to record in probably 2 decades I wondered if the original recordings had to have been made on a Net MD device or can any MD be transferred using Net MD? Apologies if this has been answered before or if it seems 'stupid'.

Assuming the answer is that I can use any MD, I'd be looking at either a Sony MDS-JB980 or an MDS-JE780? Are there any other reasonable alternatives?

Thanks in advance!
