You actually run OUT of characters on your disc? Do you really need more
than 1700 characters (AFAIK, the maximum limit)? Exactly how much time DO
you have on your hands for these marathon titling sessions? :-)
Throwing in my 2 cents, I get irked when I have to title a track like the
Quad City DJ's "C'mon Ride It (The Train)" especially if I'm including the
Band's name... Let's see... if you had songs like that (40 characters long,
including apostrophes and spaces) on an MD, you would have to title 42.5
songs, a feat few Md-er's have achieved up until now...
As far as the eight- or ten-line LCD on the MD, I suppose it might be
practical for showing the preceding song, the current song playing, and the
next song; for more long-winded titles, it would display the current title
in however many lines needed.

Subject: MD: Name Full!!!
While titling a recording of Handel's 'Semele' , which contains lots of
snappy numbers like
'Ah, wretched prince... Wing'd with our fears....O prodigy, to me of dire
portent!'
on my Sony deck, I received the 'Name Full !!!' message. I like to pack the
info in when titling, and with opera, you can really get carried away, but
to my amazement, this is the first time I've ever exceeded the limit. Just
wondered if anyone else had ever run out of space in normal use?
The titling feature seems to me to be one of the major glories of the
format, and high on my wish list is for some manufacturer to produce a deck
with either a small eight or ten line LCD screen, or a thin display that
runs the width of the unit. The truncated titles that you end up looking at
really get on my tits. Maybe Japanese is less verbose.
