.MD rumored "problems"


I>>>>> heard that many people eventually encounter problems with MD which
are
related to dust which gets into the machine and especially into the media.
(And apparently there is no MD cleaning disk available yet.)

ANdre':well, yes , there IS an MD cleaning disc - saw one at least 2 weeks
back at a big electronic supply store... about $15 - i haven't invested
yet. i believe it's by JVC - but i'm sure they "all" have one.....

how prevalent are the problems?? what's the percent?? i'd be concerned if i
could verify that it was worse than the % of failed DATs, or skippy CDs,
etc. I would suspect the % may be around that/ or better than the % failure
rate of 3.5" comp. discs, since it's the same technology. the issue for me
anyway - is a  good live mastering medium - then i'll dump it to samoe
format (CD, DAT) for mass duplication on CrO2 cassette and/or CD

also- did you hear this problem about the regular MD or the MD DATA
discs??? the latter are  are the more expensive ($20-25) discs used in the
MD four-track machines.
