alieninthestreet Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Sorry that this is probably redundant. I recently recorded an amazing Sarah Harmer concert only to find that the second disc hadn't recorded, so I'm thinking it might have been a TOC error. All that's on the disc is the 5 seconds of silence I recorded before the show. Is there any way to fix this, or is it lost forever? THanks, Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shepherd Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and try to fix that concert as vividly as you can in your memory. Or see if you can find a fan who will trade you another concert for your half-bootleg of this one. Condolences, but it's gone, dude. We feel your pain. Believe me, we do. - Matt, who screwed up recording his best friend's graduation-from-university-amazing-jazz-concert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferenc Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 There is a little hope. Once the same thing happened to me, but a friend of mine who possesses an MD deck managed to bring the music back! I think that the error happened when writing the TOC. The music was recorded. That is, do the following: don't record anything onto that disc and try to clone the TOC of another disc which has only a full-length track on it. Good luck.

cybrgrey Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Trying to do that cloning the TOC trick to regain a valued MD, is there some trick to fooling the unit when you swap MDs, it shuts down when I hit the open button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck.What do you mean by "clone the TOC of another disc which has only a full-length track on it"??? Can you provide steps for people who haven't done this, por favor? :smile: I lost a few recording with my darn MZ-N1, but I never knew of this trick! Thanks!

cybrgrey Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Hi, A couple of references from another thread http://forums.minidisc.org/viewtopic.php?t=4313 http://www.minidisc.org/cloning_procedure.html http://www.minidisc.org/ms701_cloning.html It looks like it should work, but am still working on the mechanical issue of fooling my MZ N707 into letting me swap disks. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only certain models are TOC cloning capable and nearly all of them are decks. I do not think there are many, if any, portables capable of TOC cloning...

cybrgrey Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 I spoke to someone in the Sony technical area who said that you can't clone on the MZN707 you need a deck .... but I'm not sure whether that was just a convenient answer or the truth. I also spoke to a technician in a certified Sony repair business - he didn't know about the cloning process :-) so I referred him to some articles that I got off this list. I'm still persisting with covering things in the disk carriage to see if I strike the right spot :-) bit hit and miss but I am a man afterall.

cybrgrey Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Now I've tracked down someone with a Sony deck... the saga continures... but hopefully now ........ :smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
