It sounds as though, rather than modifying an MD recorder, it might be more
practical to design an intermediate device that would suppress the signal
during seleted genre values, and to leave the MD recorder on synchro. Then
each stretch of undesired data -- such as a commercial break -- would show up
on the recording as just two or three seconds of silence.
Lacking the engineering skills and any access to broadcasts with Radio-Text
or RDS, I'll leave the experimentation to someone else.
