huh? i'm assuming you want to know how you can record digitally through an optical cable to your PC, well, you'll need a sound card with digital in, and a two way stereo plug type optical cable... you can pick them up at lots of places, best buy's sell them for ~$15 i believe... hope this helps

Offers an addon card with optical out made specifically for the Live card... my friend got one, installtion was a snap and works perfectly. You can always get the Live!Drive IR, it too has an optical out.

no chance they'd make a spdif to optical converter? i too would like to get an MD which happens to not have USB input, just optical and stereo mini jack. and i don't feel like paying 100bucks for a live drive to jsut get optical. and i don't have a credit card to buy stuff online.

They don't make a converter. THe only option I've found is the optical daughter card. I'm out of open slots so I just use analog recording for now, sounds almost as good. I'll probably dump my tv card one of these days and pick up the optical card though. Other than hoontech, i think that creative sells their own card off their site.
