It depends on which generation of minidisc recorder you have. Mine, 
which is about 2 years old, requires real-time playback. The newer 
versions are MP3 capable. I haven't used those. However the quality 
is great; I just used mine tonight to legally record a conference 
call, and converting to CD is wonderful.

On software, though, I would say *stay away* from Audacity. I have 
yet to find a stable version, and it has corrupted my audio files 
once too often. After much testing, I ended  up with using Audio In 
for input and Sound Studio (demo) for editing. Both good apps.
