| I went into Richer Sounds (UK) on Saturday to buy some 80 minute discs (I
| haven't seen them for sale anywhere locally yet). The salesman told me: "We
| don't sell 'em - too unreliable". When I pressed him for details, he told me
| the new discs "take the tracks right to the edge, and most MD machines can't
| cope", so they stopped selling them to prevent further returns.
In short, that is BS.
The MD-80 format has been approved by Sony, and is certified to work with
all players and recorders. Now, the MD-74 discs with a modified TOC to
allow 80 minutes recording, those will do what said salesdweeb said. But
the commercially available MD-80s are not a problem (unless your player is
defective).
