MIDI Monitor for Mac

[Curtin, Steven D (Steven)]

Yes, the fan and whose whirring hard disks is one big reason why I tend to
turn on the analog but leave the PC off most of the time.  When I was
consulting for Apple we took to calling the Macintosh II the "desktop
airport" it was so loud in comparison to the all in one Mac.  

Lately I've been recording to MiniDisc instead of directly to hard disk, but
now I have a bunch of stuff I somehow have to transfer to the PC for making
CDs and putting on the web.  Has anyone used a digital PC audio card with
the optical interface on an MD to transfer the contents?  I also worry about
what will happen if you MPEG encode a previously MD'd file, since the
combination of the two encoding methods could result in nasty artifacts.
