Hi all! Been a long time since the last time I posted. Well, I have an interesting problem, and I searched to see if anyone else mentioned this.
I have several disks that some time back, I put some fairly large labels on, and in trying to remove them, I destroyed three disks. Now, to my problem. I have been able to remove a great deal of these stickers, without damage, but the disks are slightly off balance. Not enough to make them vibrate or hum, but enough, I have discovered when importing, to make it difficult or impossible to import them since they spin too fast (and cause read errors). At the speed they normally spin at (1X or 2X, in my 300 CD Jukeboxes) this is not a problem. Apparently it is a major problem with Hoster.
I discovered this quite by accident. I was importing one of these CD's into Hoster a week or so ago, and I discovered that as I approached the ourter edges of the CD, I was getting some serious read errors. I was getting frustrated, as this meant that I was going to have problems with half my collection (I had stopped putting stick on labels on my disks, a couple of years ago, and up 'til now, they had not been a problem). This one particular lable, was a bit loose (it was old and dry), and I was able to peel it off, when I re-inserted it, all errors dissappeared. I then went back over the first half of my collection (again) and peeled as many of the labels off that I could (thus the 3 damaged disks I currently have, much to my extreme annoyance). In the mean time, I was using the speed selector on the pull down menu (disk properties) to slow down the disk speed, so there won't be as much vibration on the ones I could not peel the lables off of, only to discover, the read speed selections do not appear to work. HELP!! I still have about 60 to 70 disks I can't peel the @#$#dang labels of of without fear of damaging them. I was hoping that with the slower speed, they would read correctly.
One other question, is there any way to maintain a rotation with the people still in their original rotation position as they add songs to their list without having to maintain a seperate manual rotation (pieces of paper stuck on a board, and as the singers add songs, place the new paper on top of the original ones, thus maintaining a rotation? I think this is the single biggest issue, or maybe that feature is there and I missed it?
If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it>
