Frustration with Media!

[javajeb]

Recently, I've solicited the aid of fellows on the forum regarding flaky access to my MDs.

I use a 600D for ripping CDs, etc and have recently had ALL my standard MDs error out. 10 for 10. None work, and as of now, I can't erase them.

For reference, see

600D Errors

and

Can't Erase Disks

Now, I was thinking of nabbing a used 800 or NH1, but I'm really questioning that decision. I can't imaging 2 5-packs of media would all turn out bad. Is there an issue with the player, possibly?

Suggestions before pitching?

Thanks

I've read both of your other threads. The only thing that hasn't been tried is uninstall Sonic Stage and reinstall. I personally think that this is the problem. You could have bum unit, I doubt it though. Did you buy the unit new or used? If you bought new have you droped it at all, I own the NH600D also and I have doubts about its durability?

Also, are you making sure that the USB is seated correctlly in the computer and in the unit?

You are correct that there is no option for formating discs from this unit.

My money is with reinstalling Sonic Stage. The unit you own may have questionable build quality, but it's really not that bad.POE

I'm going to try the reinstall of SS. Can't hurt, but I have my doubts. Once one of the discs go in, the 600D will not read them so SS or SMDB never sees them either. But we'll see what a new SS3.4 will do.

SS 3.4 reinstalled. No difference. My single Hi-MD disk works fine; all the plain old mds are toast. The 600D won't read long enough to let SS or MDSB see it. As soon as the 600D starts reading, it encounters a Read Error.

Looks like they all might be toast. I've tried to format them in a standard MD player at a radio station, but no luck.

Heh, what happens when your NetMD unit loses its NetMD functionality?

You can't erase songs/reformat the disc manually.. must use SS. But you can't use SS when USB connectivity doesn't work right? Grrr.
