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.
