no. the only disc i have is the one that came with the minidisc player. it's possible that the machine is fine, and the disc might also be okay if i just erase it and start all over. the problem is that there is a live performance on there that i don't want to erase if possible. yes, i've been rerecording the same disc all this time. so i guess there's no option but to erase the disc? i had wanted to transfer files to my computer. then erasing the disc would have been fine, only the software doesn't work with my mac so i was never able to do that.
