I've just been given a "Divine MADNESS" CD for Christmas, all nicely printed
with a list of the MADNESS tracks on it, and a nice Virgin record label,
just like it should do. When inserted into the CD player, and switched on,
its not MADNESS that appears from the speakers.

Does anyone else have this CD with the wrong music on it?

Steve.

i have Numbers With Wings and Beat Hotel on disc.  both on one disc, as
a matter of fact.  they were released on Razor & Tie.  i picked them up
just the other nite at the Tower Records near me.  i was extatic to find
bongos stuff finally on disc.  boy, the tape i have of the vinyl sounds
SO carppy in comparison.

i did NOT see Drums Along the Hudson, though.  AND i haven't gotten the
latest option yet.  Murph, how long ago did you get yours?  i hope my
subscription hasn't expired yet or anything.  i hope it's just late.
Did the re-issue list say anything about the James Mastro/Richard Barone
album called Nuts And Bolts?  just curious.

I put a Richard Strauss CD in the tray once, closed it, and Pink Floyd came 
out of my speakers. I was totally freaking out and opened the tray. . .No, 
it was actually Richard Strauss, so I pressed play, and again Pink Floyd. So 
this time I took the disc out, and lo and behold I'd put the Strauss disc in 
on top of Dark Side of The Moon. Having two CDs in the drawer had no effect 
on it playing. Maybe this was your problem? Anyway, it's a cute anecdote.

 I've had a couple TELARC CDs and just got some more.  What I thought was 
 a "problem" with a few discs now seems to be a trend with all of them.
 I need to turn up the volume much more when I play the TELARC discs than
 I do my others, is this typical?

  I got the modem dialup number for Compact Disc Collection off of this

like they have a fairly good selection at good prices.  Before I take the
plunge and order from them, however, I was wondering what other's 
experiences with Compact Disc Connection were like.  Anyone who can tell
me a little bit about them, and how reliable they are, please e-mail me

My oldest player has taken up the habit of rejecting disks.  The first time I
close the drawer it pops back open.  Nearly all the time it stays closed on the
second try.  Otherwise, ti works fine.  This also happens when I'm done 
listening, that is, the empty drawer pops back open the first time I close it.  
(It's a single-disc home player, Sony 550 (or thereabouts)).  

Any clues?

Well as a proud owner of a copy I can tell you this...  There are indeed 9 cd's
(early singles: See Emily Play,  Carefull with that ax Eugene,... all Syd stuff,
Saucerfull of Secrets, Dark Side, Wish, Animals, The Wall (2), Medley, and final
ly Momentary Laps...)  By no stretch of the imagination all of their work but
most of their good stuff.  Included in the box is a foldable holder for 8 of the
cd's (the 9th is in it's own cardboard holder) A set of postcards, 1 from each
cd.  And finally (and most impresively) is a 110 page hardcover BOOK!  It goes
over the cd's and some other stuff.  The cd cases are all black and have a 
little sticker of the album on it.  The cd's are also non-standard issue and
have their own paint job. 

It cost 160$ Canadian (plus the everpresent taxes).  But I feel it is well 
worth it if you are looking to replace albums or tapes!

I've seen some pre-recorded MiniDiscs in a local record shop but they didn't
have anything to play them on. The best bet for hardware is your nearest

a list of addresses.

I was very surprised by this aspect of the MD play-only model, too.  I think 
it's larger than the old Sony D-99 CD player (the portable that was designed 
to play 3 inch CDs), which is sort of surprising.  However, it may not be much 
larger than the D-99 taken together with its battery pack.  Maybe they're 
holding back on the miniaturization so that they'll be able to release smaller 
and better models in the future. :)

I think I read somewhere that Sony planned to release component MD player/
recorders in the future.  As you suggest, however, there's no reason you 
couldn't use the portable in your stereo system at home.

What we really need is a stereo sized component that has both an MD and DCC 
player in the one component box.

Surely since the decompression technology is similar (identical ?) this
would be a reasonable thing to do ?

Should keep everyone happy :-)

Or maybe redesign a CD player so it will play MDs as well...

Hmmm, maybe I should get a job for Sony or Phillips :-)

If that 5% is from the general population, then it probably does *NOT*
mean that 5% of people who regularly buy music or 5% of people who spend
audiophile sized sums of money on stereo components can tell the difference.
I would expect the averages for these groups to be much higher, and they
are the people that MD and DCC are supposed to sell to.

I bought Pink Floyds Dark Side Of The Moon CD, it looked proper enough -
black CD & prism nicely printed on the CD with the track names, etc.
But the music was Survivor's Vital Signs.   I was not that familiar
with Survivors stuff, but I liked what I heard enough to buy it also
once the salespeople played a round of guess the music, and I also
had them verify that PF was on the replacement Dark Side CD.

They told me this happens every so often.

I have noticed two interesting cd's.  My friend has They Might be Giants
and I think it was the last song, that says its like 9 minutes or  something,
but when you play it it keeps advancing the track , but the music is continous.
Its like  one song is spread over 10 or so.   Also, the Spent Poets, I
think it's track 4, at the end, it goes into some pyschedelic song, 
and the time remains the same for the duration of it.  I guess its  something
cool to do, like adding hidden songs or whatever, like Nirvana.  Blah blah blah.

Howdy netfolk!

I just downloaded the Rock/Pop database from the CD Connection.
It is a self-extracting archive (.EXE) which turns into an

So, can someone suggest an FTP site to upload it to?  It's just

You need a computer, with a modem set to 8-N-1, and up to 9600 bps.
 Then you call Compact Disc Connection at (408) 730-9015.  (They have other
numbers, which you can get once you are on).  Then just follow the easy
instructions.

Basically, they have a huge database (60,000) of CD tites, which you can query
by artist, title, song, label, number, etc.  Very handy for checking if things
are available.  If you want to, you can order from them too.  Their prices seem
ok, but not great.  I think the shipping is a flat $3.50, unless you buy over
$100 and then shipping is free.

For hard-to-find items, or for browsing, it is a very nice service.  I have
ordered from them too and am satisfied.  Oh yes, they also have other things
like a list of hundreds of record labels with addresses and phone numbers.
You can download any of this stuff too.

Hope that helps,
Tom
