reefbeef Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I recently got a 5 pack of the newer clear blue blanks. The discs are pretty slick, but what's up with the labels? What am I to do with those tiny bubble stickers made out of low grade recycled paper?I need more space to put the info that I like to for my live recordings (i.e. mics used, levels, members of group, etc.)Anyone have a good source for labels?

MDGB2 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Dunno if you'd fit all that info on any label. How about building a database and keeping full details there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streaml1ne Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Strip of paper placed in the case perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcou Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) I agree . Can't explain why Sony wasted time and money to change blanks shell format with himd (first we had these big cases and now those to little label screen).Sony just put money in R&D with himd deck and car unit!

reefbeef Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Strip of paper placed in the case perhaps?Yeah, but discs get shuffled between cases. I don't bother labelling cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Theory:Sony changed the label design because someone there realised that with the way most listeners will use a 1GB disc [i.e. NOT with PCM recordings] they will have somewhere between 120 to 500+ tracks on the disc; the label isn't good for listing even just album titles at this point.I just number the discs, so the tiny label is fine with me. A big "2" is expressive enough on the one indigo disc ["2nd gen blank"] I've got. I already know what's on the disc .. I don't even bother reading the unit or remote displays when navigating, usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even bother reading the unit or remote displays when navigating, usually.Just lable the Discs as suggested 1, 2, 3 etc.Now get the content on to a spreadsheet -- you can cut and paste either from Marcs execellent Lister program or cut and paste from Simple Burner or SS.Make each workbook in the spreadsheet correspond to a disk. Keep data such as the bit rate etc etc.This works as well with Open Office spreadsheet if you don't have Microsoft Excel.For example http://www.1kyle.com/moosik1.jpgCheers-K Edited March 27, 2006 by 1kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
