I have had the originals go bad on me too, and sometimes, I hadn't
bothered to make a back up copy. This has happened with the old
fashioned 5.25" as well as the newer 3.5" floppies. I have also messed
up more than one Minidisc because of that stupid archaic END SEARCH
function that Sony insists on putting on their portables. I know,
someone will say put the write protect on, but have you ever tried to
title with write protect on, also, you can't add more music to a
minidisc with the write protect on.
