David,
My aim was not to emulate tape. Tape sux, man. :-)
My aim was was to emulate DVD Last Memory so that I could resume a musical
album in the same way I can resume a movie. That tape allows this is merely
a side effect of its nature, but one with which many people are familiar
and perhaps even attached to (witness playback of music in a car).

Which would update the unique ID of the disc, thus destroying the
usefulness of any record kept for it. This is how computer discs work. I do
not have a problem with this- there would be no point resuming a disc you
had changed somewhere else anyway.

But these are not a problem for someone with one unit (such as me). And it
is not my aim to be able to resume a disc in a diferent deck, but in the
same deck. This is all DVD's Last Memory does.
Anyway, I was just trying to get people off the... ahem... other topic. Now
you've quasi-flamed me over this, I have a good mind to flame you about
your last post on THAT topic. ;-)
[That thread is clearly arguing in circles. I was pretty sure Gaz was being
facetious anyway (I know I had a good laugh), and I can't why his comments
warranted such an acidic reply.]
