RE: Dansai 852 seen today @tesco ,Northampton (Weston Favell)

Except they had to take the damned thing back today as the remote failed.

Customer Service just told them to return it to the store... like she had had to with hers... the store said "Oh, is it the remote like all the others?"

;(( guess you get what you pay for.

RE: Dansai 852 seen today @tesco ,Northampton (Weston Favell)

Tesco`s in Sandhurst today had a grand reopening offer with the Dansai 1010 being available for just 50quid. Since they had also sent us a £6 discount voucher it came in at just £44... Now I don`t know what the quality is like but it will do as a gift for my parents to ween them off their VCR...

You can imagine the sort of stampede at 9am this morning...

RE: Aiwa 370 - what`s the proper format for MP3 discs?

I burnt an Iso9660/Joliet CD-R disc using WinOnCD and about 109 MP3`s downloaded from various places... most were 128kbps, but some ranged from 32kbps upto 160kbps.

I removed any odd characters in the titles but I didn`t bother getting everything below the 8.3 character limit, just made sure they all were .MP3 extensions and shoved them in the root directory.

Apart from the fact this means the filenames were mangled it had no problems reading it or playing the CD and the quality was outstanding... it even sounds good now I`ve recorded it off of the Aiwa onto tape for my car ;). No complaints except the user interface was obviously done by someone who never intended to use it... (or attended GUI design 101)

So your problem is very odd as I didn`t do anything special. Just remember to make it single session and to close it afterwards.

As the Jimbo man says, the Aiwa 370 does the business...
