Let me try to understand this: Mini Discs have some kind of encoding on them which tells the playermachine the sequence the tracks are to be played? And Gescom constructed this sequence in such a way that the head has to move a lot between songs? That's cool. I assume there are only a few tracks on the MD, but it would be even cooler if there were about a thousand tracks on the MD, forcing the playermachine to whirr and shit all the time. That would be dope. -Cf ' - . _ . - ' ^ ' - . _ . - ' ^ ' - . _ . - c h r i s t ø p h e r f ª h e y . _ . - ' ^ ' - . _ . - ' ^ ' - . _ . - ' ^ xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx 2 1 2 - 6 3 4 - 6 9 5 0 x 2 5 8 http://www.raremedium.com - ' ^ ' - . _ . - ' ^ ' - . _ . - ' ^ ' - .
