Re: MD: Edd's extra tracks
Hmmm, so *this* is what happens when I go on holiday for a fortnight... 400+ messages!!! Doh! Oh well. Anyway, the same thing happened with a Fun Lovin' Criminals CD (100% Columbian if you must know) - first time I recorded it, it was fine. 2nd time and I ended up with 30+ tracks from a 16 track CD... Any suggestions? Thankz! - Original Message - From: David W.

Missed this post at the time. The intra-track marks are not replicated on the MD recording in my experience. I have a small handful of discs which employ this practice - one that I've very recently dubbed to MD was Autechre's "tri repetae", and none of the sub-divisions produced further track-marking. Little to add in response to the original poster's problem, other than to say that this has happened to me in the past and it was down to a faulty recorder (the Sharp 702's periodical problems when recording with the mains adaptor attached) and/or a dirty disc (each 'bad' sector skipped produced another track-mark, gradually reducing the capacity of the disc).
