Mini Disk Player Software

Hi - I'm not sure if this fits here, but I don't know where else to go.

I bought a mini disk recorder with mic jack and a microphone so that I can record my voice lessons with far better sound than a tape player. The problem is that my player's Sonic Stage software won't let me download things I've recorded onto my computer. It also won't let me upload from my computer more than three times.

I'm am not stealing music or making illegal copies to sell here. This is a *voice lesson*, and thiese software constraints are really really annoying! I don't think I could pay people to take copies!

Anyway, does anyone here know better software I can get that will let me download these files to my computer?

Thanks for the help!
