RE: MD: Head Cleaners (were Lens Cleaners)
They do make a head cleaner too dude - MD-8HCL I should know, I was incorrectly sold one by Townhall Sound Central (and they refused to refund my money, I only had the option of exchange for something else - bastards. Never buy from them!)

Sony definitely *DO* make an MD LENS cleaner. I've got a copy of Sony Pulse Magazine - a consumer catalogue of Sony Products. On the page with all the recording media including blank MDs and tapes, it has a "Mini Disc Lens Cleaner", model number seems to be MD-64CL or something (it's pretty small). There are NO Sony HEAD cleaners listed. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MD: disc quality was :Re: Lens Cleaners
Yes, the record head sits on the disc surface, lubed by a small drop of silicon grease... GB Someone mentioned the silicon grease about a year back when I asked about the different brands and what the quality differance. It was either Rob/Ralph or Jim. (not exact words but.) They said that on the disc itself there is a thin layer of silicon which aids recording. The cheaper MD blanks might not have this or this layer of silicon gease might not be as good so even though the disk may sound the same the life time of the recording/disc could be shortened by using a cheaper disc. I always hated the Hi-space disks, from even holding the disc up to the light you can see "patchy bits" as if parts of the disc were thicker than others. TDK my fav brand but they are still 15 quid for 5. Hi Space less than a pound each for an 80min blank. fine for every day use with recordings that are not important.

MD: 510 on repair
Hi Folks! After 3,5 years of good service, (and after 1,5 years of having to deal with the infamous loading-unloading bug), I finally sent my Sony 510 for repairs. I found out, last friday by trying to edit a previous recording, that it messed up the UTOC, rendering the disc unusable, and could not record at all. Play was fine and dandy. Since I purchased in 97 an extended 5 year-warranty, I thought that I might give it a try. I'll keep "the list" informed. Meanwhile, I'm using my portable MZ-R35 as a spare. I am also considering a Sony MXD-D5C as a MBA graduation (self-) gift, or a HP 920e portable copier. Comments ? Regards to all.

I have heard nothing but good things about Hi-Space discs, from both retailers and reviewers. Do you have any evidence to your claim that they are inferior, and should not be used for "important" recordings? For example, minidisco.com says this about Hi-Space discs: Europe's top-of-the-line maker of digital recording media... Minidisco labs thoroughly tested these discs, and we love them. Some of the lowest error rates we've ever seen, and the disc flap housing uses a heavier embedded spring for durability. * Total compliance with every type of MiniDisc drive on the market ensured by perfect control of the pre-groove geometry of the disc during the mastering process. * Outstanding durability thanks to a protective lacquer developed by MPO. This lacquer offers excellent resistance to abrasion, a low friction coefficient and guarantees two million recordings without any measurable wear or increase in friction. * Operation under extreme conditions of use thanks to the composition, homogeneity and thickness of the magneto-optical layer. Even when exposed to the extreme temperatures or used in drives running on low-power batteries, Hi-SpaceTM MiniDiscs guarantee optimum sound quality. I've been examining some of my Hi-Space discs compared to some of my Sony and TDK discs, and I can't see any of the "patchy bits" you describe. Are you saying that we shouldn't use Hi-Space discs for "important" recordings because they are less expensive? - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: MD: Sony lens/head cleaners...
I still say it is best to not use these on a regular basis. Only use them just before you have to take it in for repairs, to see if that clears up the problem. But hey, it's you equipment and if you damage it because of excessive cleaner use, who stands to gain from that? So have at it! Like I said before, the laser shouldn't touch anything, the head is only used during recording and not at all during play back. The MD media doesn't lose it's coating like a tape does, so the only reason to clean it is if you got some lint in there from carrying it around.

Re: MD: release date? Md copying
Keith asked, | and if I recored a mini disc digitally to another minidisc does it also | transfer the names of the tracks across as well as the track markers. Not across the digital audio link. Some units have ports for a second cable that can transfer that information, but generally you'll need to reenter the titles. Most Sharp portable recorders have a feature called Name Stamp, whereby if two recordable discs have the same number of tracks, the unit will hold all the titles of one disc in memory while you insert the other disc, and it will copy them all to the second disc. Unlike a TOC cloning, it doesn't copy the rest of the TOC information (such as sector addresses and SCMS and mode bits), only the disc name and the track titles. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What unit do you have now, Brent? Several times people have made the same complaint about their machines only because they didn't read their fluffy manuals (or didn't read them carefully), were trying to figure their machines out by the seats of their pants, and had missed the easy way and found only the hard way. Your recorder might have an easy way as well.
