SonicStage Question...

I have a large archive of radio shows on minidiscs (in excess of 
500 discs recorded in LP2 on HiMD format) and don't keep a copy 
of them on my hard drive but sometimes need to transfer them 
back to computer e.g. if I trade recordings with other people.

I am thinking of upgrading to a newer PC and my question is 
would I still be able to transfer them back to a new PC or not?

The basis of my question is that SonicStage tells me I can only 
transfer them to the original computer.  However SonicStage 
tells me that if I delete a recording from my computer it can 
not be transferred back from a minidisc and that *is not true*.  
I transfer tracks that don't exist on my PC back from minidiscs 
on a nearly daily basis.  If the latter is not true then is the 
former???

I am using an MZ-RH10 and SS4.3 with (currently) a Pentium 
200MHz computer...
