Scratched CDs.

I've still got a glovebox full of tapes. You know they're finished as
you can hear the arm returning to it's rest when the record ends.

 

0.4mm to recover focus & tracking isn't at all bad.

 

Its rest NOT it's rest

You need to be careful being a punctuation pedant.

"For he without sin..."

 

Bad form etc.:

One thing that has just occured to me: if it was an MP3 disc then
maybe it could correct over a bigger hole: the CD-ROM data has a
second layer of error correction (similar algorithm) that might spread
over a greater distance. However, any glitch that couldn't be
corrected would be relatively catastrophic: you can't interpolate MP3
or WMA data like you can CDA data.

Also, if it was spinning at > x1 speed then there would be less time
for the focus & tracking servos to get thrown. We had to run at x1
(well, up to about x1.5 if we were running ESP on CDA) because that's
all the mechs were rated for: some not even that much.

 

I know the rule about including at least one misttook in any
grammar/spelling pedantry.

His sig's a bit of a giveaway.

 

Looks like a good gadget. I might go for that.
