Wow, that could be an answer, one md with a 5-hour show on would be cool.
How can they do those pretaped radio shows without having someone at the
station to switch disks? I know that on a local channel sometimes before
the commercials kick in, I hear a low pitched noise for a couple seconds
before the commercials begin. I kind of thought it was recorded because I
heard a bunch of station ID's in a row with about a second of music
overlapping into the next one, and it said something like "coming up in the
9 o'clock hour" about 20 after 8 before going dead until about 9.
Wonder if that really shows that minidisc could be to blame for something
like that happening, know casettes can't jump like that, and hard drives
have no ability to mess up like that.
Much less, would they want to store a 6-midnight saturday show on a hd with
all the other things, more than likely running wave files, it'd take a lot
of space.
