Canadian residents might be happy to know that by ordering from us rather than outside Canada, duties on products are avoided. Additionally, depending on where you live, some taxes are avoided, rather than both GST and PST (unless you live in Quebec). No taxes on international orders!

We ship orders the next business day from when they are placed. All orders to Canada and the U.S.A. generally take between one and six business days. European orders usually take between 5 and 9 days. South American, African and Asian orders usually take from 6 to 10 days. Please keep in mind that international orders must pass through customs.

Please note: we reserve the right to cancel any order without prior notice in which case the credit card used will be refunded or not charged.

New federal copyright legislation came into effect in Canada. This legislation requires for a levy to be collected on blank audio recording media. Click here for more information about the levy.

We accept credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Diners Club), PayPal, money order and certified cheque payments. Because of the number of cheques we've received that have bounced and the long time it takes for some cheques to clear, we no longer accept personal cheques. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Money orders can be written up for you at your bank and usually your nearest post office. Certified cheques can also be written up at your bank. To order by any payment method, just add the items you want to your cart and follow the directions. You can order online through our secure web page with Visa, Master Card or American Express. If you prefer you may also call us to place a credit card order.

Our blank MiniDiscs come with a one year Pause Play Stop guarantee. If you have a defective disc you can exchange it for a new one (In the unlikely event that a disc arrives cracked you have 7 business days to send it back).

Items that are labeled with a "1 year Pause Play Stop warranty" are guaranteed to be free from manufacturer defects for 1 year from the date of purchase. The unit may be repaired if a defect is found within that time period. If the unit arrives in defective condition, you may return it within 7 days.

More details can be found on our return policy page.

Please read our return policy before ordering.

We always offer the best prices we can but unfortunately the prices we pay for products change very quickly. These changes our beyond our control. Because of this we cannot offer refunds if prices drop.

Naturally this applies to your email address as well. If you are on our mailing list and do not wish to receive any more emails. Simply let us know and we guarantee that we won't send you anymore messages.

For your protection, all transactions take place through a secure server.

You can record either digitally or in analog format to your PC.

If you have a NetMD recorder:
Christian Kuklas has created a convenient WinMD utility that makes uploading in real time a easy. Otherwise, you can use the methods below.

Digital Recording:
You'll need a MD machine with a digital output, a sound card or USB device with a digital input, and the appropriate cables to hook everything together. At present, there is no MD consumer model portable recorder available that has a digital output. There are professional machines that have digital outputs, but they are much larger than the consumer model portables and are more expensive. For information on using a portable machine, skip down to Analog recording.

There are a few MiniDisc home decks that have digital optical outputs.

We sell a sound card with optical outputs. Here is a link to the specs page:

MAudio Revolution Surround Sound PCI Card (Windows and Mac)

You'll need the proper optical digital cables. Both of the sound cards we sell have Toslink optical connectors, so you'll need one Toslink to Toslink optical cable. Here is a link to the specs for the Toslink cable:

All of the above can be found in our "accessories" section.

Analog Recording:

If you have a sound card that has an analog input, which is standard on most sound cards that come stock with the majority of PC's, you can record from the analog line out of either a portable or a deck into that sound card. The cable that you would need to accomplish this, if you were recording from a portable into a line in on a sound card, is a miniplug to miniplug cable that can be found at the following webpage and is quite common, /shopexd.asp?id=56

Or if your sound card has a RCA analog line in you can use the following cable,
/shopexd.asp?id=55

Again, all of the above can be found in our "accessories" section.
