MD: Lost permanently?

2000-09-09 Thread Kas van Iersel


Hello there,

Your list is my last resort.  I work at a radiostation here in Holland,
Veronica FM.  I do weekends 1 - 4 pm.  My best bits and beds were on two
MD's.  Every week, I culled the best calls from our VoxPro and added them on
an MD.

Well, guess what.  My MD's won't talk to me anymore.  After recording what
must have been track 61 (makes me cringe to think of all the good stuff I've
lost), as I tried playing a track, it just sat there, winking "NO TRACK" at
me, with three zeroes.  Everything was gone.

- We use Denon, the cartridge style.  This particular model is a 900.
- I did try playing on another machine, same type.  No go.
- There was plenty of recording time left on the MD.
- Same thing happened to another MD - same victim.
- I did close the recording track correctly, by pushing the 'standby/cue'
button, getting out of record mode.

How can I reclaim the lost material?  
Oh, I'm not a technician, so "S/Pdif signal "validity Bit / CD-Subcode" data
area" - no capisco.
Can you help?

MD: Minidisco problems

2000-09-09 Thread Kiran Wagle


I've just had a very poor experience with Minidisco, to wit:

1) They type the billing address on a label instead of the shipping 
address (so they claim, I have no idea if this was the actual problem 
with the address.)

2) They send out an order confirmation that *doesn't include a 
reference number.*  Had they emailed me a reference number, I would 
have entered it immediately and discovered that it was going to the 
wrong address before it left the dock in Oakland.  The reference 
number arrived almost a day after the order was shipped.   The phone 
droid doesn't know what happened, blames a computer glitch.

3) They are unable to reroute the package.  Admittedly, UPS is a pain 
in the ass to deal with--but they *chose* to ship via UPS because it 
was (to paraphrase) the best choice for *them*, not necessarily for 
customers.  According to them, UPS refuses to reroute it until after 
it's on the ground in DC on Monday--but it's scheduled for delivery 
*that day*, which leaves Minidisco with three hours between 5am and 
8am Eastern time to contact them.  Will anyone at Minidisco actually 
call them in the middle of the night from CA?  I doubt it.

And nobody at Minidisco seems to care much that they've probably just 
lost a customer.

Two possibilities: the data were recorded but the TOC wasn't saved (or the
TOC was trashed); or the data weren't even recorded.

In the first case, cloning a TOC from a disc that is filled with a single
track (stereo or mono, whichever applies to the data you lost) will recover
it; most Sony decks and Sharp slot-in portables can clone, but I don't know
about Denons, and in any case I wouldn't trust it to that machine.

In the second case, you're out of luck.  Was any of the material recorded
in previous sessions and playable before this happened?  Then perhaps the
older tracks are recoverable.  The only way to know for sure is the same:
clone the TOC from a disc filled with one track.

2000-09-09 Thread Peter Forest


I did business with Minidisco in the past and never experienced any problem
with them...
They are kind person, honest and usually really fast !

Maybe you should call back and ask for the owner...

Maybe it was a new person from this company...

If I were them, what I should do is to simply send right away another exact
order to you and after call UPS to bring back the package to them...

Customer Satisfaction must be at the first place everytime !

Best Regards,

Peter.

Re: MD: md-l-digest V2 #738

2000-09-09 Thread James Jarvie


Back from vacation for over a week, and I am still way
behind in reading the digests. 

 It all depends on  the type of music you are
 listening to.  Blue sure
 makes the blues sound good.  Red is for the the hot
 tunes, and Russian
 .  "Mellow, Yellow,  That's right Slick"  Anyone old
 enough to recognize
 what tune that line is from?  
 Green, Irish.  and the list goes on G

Actually, Jim and Dan, I save my green discs for
Christmas music (I could use red too, but I have alot
of red discs, and not that much Christmas music on MD
- I have tons of it on CD), and my blue discs for
blues and jazz.  Why? why not?

Oh, and I recognized the Donovan text too; but I
always thought the word was "saffron".  Thanks for
setting me straight.  By the way, I hated Donovan back
in the late '60s; but love him now.

James

 Let someone do to him what happened to expresident
 Reagan's press secretary,
 Brady and watch how fast (just like Brady's)
 political convictions change!  I
 think that everyone who has some strong political
 convection, should be put in
 the possession of a person who is affected by they
 that political decision.

I agree whole-heartedly with you.  I think ever
f--g republican in the great (please read the
previous word in a tone of sarcasm) US of A that has
ever voted against gun control should have a spouse or
child blown away by someone and then see if he can
justify his stance )of course I don't want to see that
happen to anyone - but I'm so pissed off that I have
to say that if it did, things might actually change. 
I hate George W. Bush, but would accept him as
president if someone would assisinate him  and thus
drive the point home (Again, I don't really want to
see anyone else deprived of a loved one by some
deranged gun-toting individual, but sometimes I think
that the only way a god-dd republican will ever
learn would be if it happened to his family).

Also, in many of the movies being released today, the
nudity is the only redeeming quality.

Anyway, I like your idea of a MD being provided to all
at birth; except I think it should be at a slightly
later age, as a rite of passage...say maybe upon
beginning first grade.

2000-09-09 Thread las


Hi.  I don't know about all of  the following, but I'm the dude who
wrote the thing on gun control.  I really don't know how it ended up on
the MD list??

Doesn't George W. Bush have this scary look on his face?  It's across
between extremely mean and f~cken stupid!!!

I like to think of him as the Dale Quale (SP?-well I'm dyslexic, what's
his excuse?) of presidential nominees.

It not so much that I am really excited about Gore (I think he will
probably do fine-we know he likes having sex with is own wife-he
practically raped her on the podium when he got the nominationlol) and
not someone else's.

The debates will be the key.  We will have to wait and see.  But I have
a feeling that GWB is not a really bright fellow.  I think that Gore is.

I don't think that GWB calling someone an A hole (when he didn't know
the mikes were on) help his chances any.  I think it was a New York
Times reporter.  Not the best person to piss off when you are running
for office.

The most important thing is has either of them ever used a Mini Disc??
I'll take back some of what I said bad about Bush if he did and Gore did
not G.

Lieberman may have.  I don't think Cheney would even know how to insert
it in the unit.

OK call me a pervert, but I like looking at naked women and even "doing
it".  So I don't have any problem with it in most movies.

 Don't think I wrote that.  But  may have since you have it out of
