Is it possible to transfer recordings from such a MD to the computer through
USB?  Is it possible under Linux, or only with proprietary software that
comes with the MD recorder?

BTW: I have found quite a few people that think the Sony MZ-R909 has better
recording quality than most others. You can get them cheap at the moment,
probably because it does *not* have USB yet.  Maybe worth considering?
