Ken, what about the other manufacturers? I was told that Sharp's MD recorders would do the computer transfer thing without the protection, but I let the one my son had get away without ever testing same. My friend Jim Brugman uses two Sharps to do his recording (one for the monitor feed for the vocals, the other to mike the band, but I've never asked him if he uses analog to do the transfer. As willing as he is to go to no end to accomplish things, I'd not doubt that he was going analog as well.
(And, to be fair, analog transfer (i.e., from the MD headphones jack to the computer's audio in jack) does a pretty good job. However, you lose the full depth of the recording in the process, and working with the digital recording file directly would introduce some "noise reduction" in the finished product.)
There are a number of other MD devices available, from makers like Panasonic (Matsushita) and Akai, but finding information on how they work is like pulling teeth. Then trying to actually find them to "hands on" examine is virtually impossible; you have to buy a pig in a poke through the internet to purchase one (at least from what my research here in Houston has shown me).
