Probably your disks are recorded in LP2 or LP4 mode. These modes are called MDLP. If your friend bought an older MD-player without MDLP it cannot play the LP2 en LP4 tracks and you only hear silence.

So to summarize:

- the first MD-models had only SP-stereo and SP-mono recording modi.

- later MDLP was added (LP2 and LP4).

- after that came Hi-MD with numerous recording-modes.

Good summary MDFreak.

In addition old-skool MD utilises standard MD media (60, 74, or 80 minute discs).

HiMDs can use both the new 1GB discs or standard media.

As well the first generation models can record in either format.
