  It'll be cheaper and less annoying to re-purchase all that music online than it would be to transfer it to PC.
  The only way to do it is to record the line-out from a minidisc player with software on the PC in real time. There is no way to simply get the ATRAC files from the Minidisc and convert them. So you'd need to buy a minidisc player and then spend hours/days copying and tagging music.

  There are only a few music tracks on them discs
  It's mainly audio diaries of me and people from my past.
  I've tried finding a Minidisc to USB converter/connector (I know they are available for other pieces of audio/video formats) but no luck

  You assume the audio is commercially available and not original recordings made by the OP

  Some years ago I used a Sony walkman style recorder with USB and the Sonic Stage software. That could transfer files via USB to a PC. As I recall though there were some restrictions. It could transfer ATRAC files if they were recorded on the machine, not from commercial disks.
  There was a utility on the Sony website to convert ATRAC to WAV format, don't recall ever seeing one to convert direct to mp3.
  Unless the audio is totally unavailable commercially I would be tempted not to bother. Converting ATRAC to mp3 will lose some audio quality. Plus if you cannot use the software and USB connection to suck the tracks off the disk it will be a long old process copying in real time.
  I did a quick google and saw one or two companies that do minidisk to CD audio. But they were charging anything from 15 to 20 quid a disk for the service!

  Yea the restrictions were artificial and based on fear by sony music and such.
  So you are left with the situation you are in now.
  You can always buy a second hand player and simply manually record the output into say audacity through the pc's sound input.
  Onerous and annoying..no better than taping a tape to a tape. But that is what minidisc was gimped into being, digital tape. Whether you consider it worth your wihle to convert manually is up to you.
  As with anything else, you can pay others to do it.

  Hi-MD minidisc players will allow you to extract the audio from minidisc to PC using Sonys Sonic Stage software. It also incorporates Gracenotes so the tagging of resulting WAV files is also possible. This can then be converted to MP3 or WMA. It's still fairly time consuming but definately quicker and easier than doing a real time re-record.

  It's easy to do, but time consuming. If say, you work at the computer and are happy to have it going in the background, then the time isn't such an issue.
  At its most basic level you need:
  a) A Cable - run this from the output of the MD to the line in on your computer. Something like this.

  b) Recording/basic trimming/editing software
  Audacity is free http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
  Or more professional software eg

  c)A Minidisc player. There are plenty on eBay. The proper decks are much less fiddly than the portable machines, Something like the Sony 440 is £30 or 40.

  There may be some Sony machines where by you can transfer the files electronically, as files, faster than real time, but I don't know what machines support it - I think they had a feature called 'NetMD' and as other posters have said - there were plenty of restrictions on what you could, or more likely couldn't do.

  To add to that - it seems you can't copy files electronically. Found from Google - As DJ Klippa wrote, there is no two way cumminication between PC and NETMD - at least not for actual datatransfer. There might be some impulse cummication from the MD to transfer song info and other numeric information. Nevertheless this means that THERE IS NO WAY actually transfer audio data from MD to PC (the other way). People with Sony NetMD's can transfer only the songs they have sent FROM their PC TO the minidisc back to their computer - BUT THIS IS ONLY A COSMETIC TRANSFER What's really happening is that the PC recognizes a given song (earlier transferred from the pc) and matches it with the one ALREADY STORED in the computer. The only thing SonicStage or OpenMG has to do, is send a command for the minidisc to delete the song on the given disc - and then fool YOU to think it actually transferred the data. But We stupid consumers is only looking at the exact same song we imported to the program when we wanted it on our minidisc. This is why one can't use other computers to transfer the same song and this is why You will loose this 'backtransfer' option if You reinstall your operating system without backing your data up.

  I have a massive collection of Audio but it is all on Minidisc. What is the best way to transfer all of this to a PC and then convert to mp3 format
  I do not have any hardware in regards to the Minidiscs, I only have the discs
  The discs have differents rates of compression too so that may complicate matters
  Failing a DIY job, if anybody knows of a company/service which can do transfer + conversion I'd be more than happy to go down that route
  Thanks in advance

  
  You have no MD hardware at all, not even a portable player?
  Your best bet then would be to find someone locally who does, as anyone with a suitable MD deck hooked up to a computer could provide a good digital copy in whatever format desired.

  That is totally wrong.
  I have copied raw audio files recorded on a Net MD machine to a PC numerous times. The files I have transferred have only ever existed previously on the MD machine as they were recorded away from the PC direct via microphone to the MD machine.
  What you cannot do is transfer songs from pre-recorded mini disks.

  Very easy as I do it all the time and have done for many years, you need the following.
  3.5mm twin phono lead to 3.5mm single jack, (assuming there are the audio out sockets on the MD player) the single jack in then inserted into your line in socket on your soundcard.
  You also need some form of software for recording from line in etc, activate the relevant options on the recording mixer in windows etc line in / stereo mix and you are good to go.

  I'd like to know how original poster got on. Minidisc compression was ahead of its time, superior to mp3 for many years. It's worth transferring it digitally.
