Yes, MDs are hard to write. An MD-deck that records at "4X" speed is really
writing 4:1 compressed data at 1X speed. Sony has been refining the
compression algorithm for around a decade now, and DSP hardware has gotten
cheap enough and fast enough to handle it at far beyond realtime speed.

Ken, if you have the portable set to resume it should start just where
you left off. The is one exception that I can think of. One the units
I've owned, if the power supply is interrupted the unit will start from
the beginning.
Some units allow you to disconnect an external power supply and if

Most of the time when I resume play on my portable player, it's right
where I left off listening when I turned it off. But occasionally it
starts playing again at the very beginning of the disc.
Does anyone know how this works, and why it occasionally doesn't?
