If you record one track on a MD all the way through, then you have a TOC that spans the whole disc. Record a few discs like that. Now go to a show and start recording with one of those discs. At about 60 min into the show, you realize the band is in one of those extended jams that's going to last for at least another half hour. You wait until the last possible moment (74:59) pop out the disc, and shove another one in and continue recording. Since the disc already had a TOC, and it didn't get a chance to update anything, the disc should be OK. And you've lost the minimal amount of the show by not having to wait for the TOC to be written. Again, this is all theory and one of these days I'll try it. But if it works, I think that it makes End Search a Good Thing. But it should still be a feature that could be turned off. -steve ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
