MiniDisc to CD & USB Conversion Service

Preserve your recordings stored on MiniDisc by converting them into modern digital formats. At Milfords Digital Studio, we professionally transfer MiniDiscs to CD or USB, making your audio easy to listen to, share, and safely store for the future.

MiniDiscs often contain important recordings, family voices, personal music, interviews, or live performances and we treat every disc with care and respect throughout the digitisation process.

Why Convert MiniDiscs to Digital?

Over the years, families have trusted us to preserve a wide range of audio cassette recordings, including:

  • Voices of parents, grandparents, and loved ones recorded years ago

  • Children’s voices, school projects, or first attempts at reading or singing

  • Family messages sent to relatives near or far

  • Wedding speeches or anniversary recordings captured on cassette

  • Storytelling tapes, bedtime stories, or personal memories recorded for family

  • Music compilations created for special occasions or loved ones

  • Interviews or life stories recorded to pass down through generations

Every recording is different, and every one matters. Whether your cassette contains a single treasured message or hours of family history, we treat each tape individually to ensure the best possible result.
