However, quality control on MAM-A gold discs continues to be an issue for me and the problem is growing worse. I am now averaging five discs per pack of 25 that arrive with debris, fingerprints or oily smears on them when they come out of the shrink wrap. I have begun a collection of bad discs to return to the factory. The fingerprints should make tracking the careless party pretty simple... Visually inspect all discs before you plop 'em in your drives... Caveat emptor, Chas. -- Charles Lawson <[log in to unmask]> Professional Audio for CD, DVD, Broadcast & Internet
