During my Christmas holidays, I recorded an album wit h20 tracks on a 80
minutes Sony disc. When I came back, I found out that I had about 45 tracks
on the same disc. I did an 'erase-all' and rerecorded it on a the same
disc.... Suprise suprise, all went well......
I don't know what happened. I've got some theories, but they are all
difficult to believe/imagine:
1) Sometimes our cat sleeps on the desk where my hifi is....
2) A 'bad' MD that became 'good' after recording?
3) My S38 needs to warm-up?
4) bad luck?
If somebody has a better idea, let me know....
Cheers,
Ralph
