This is a plea for help from any home recording enthusiasts in the house ...
I have a BR-8 digital recorder and I want to be able to burn CDs directly from the deck using the CD-R/W on my computer. In lieu of having to purchase a sound card that has digital/optical/RCA input, I'd like to use the digital/optical output on the BR-8 (toslink) or the RCA stereo (analog) output from the BR-8 and send it to my computer via a USB port. I've seen a cable that apparently does this, but it is NOT clear whether I need additional software, hardware or what.
I guess there are two questions:
Is what I would like to do possible? If anyone else has tried this, what have been the results?
Is there a relatively inexpensive (i.e., less than $300) way to accomplish what I would like to do that anyone has had proven success with?
Any input, suggestions, recommendations would be greatly appreciated :)
