Just realized why I was puzzled.

If the discs will spin to copy without any vibration, why won't they spin to import?

[bobcox- with the Lord]

they do vibrate when you copy them. and some of them take quite a long time. but you do end up with a clean copy that does not vibrate. mm dosnt replace anything your fault or not. you can cut out the vibrating to copy if you use an ultra plex they spin very very fast. but micro studio dosnt reconize that reader.

The problem is that it just keeps vibrating once the disk is inserted into my Plextor drive. It speeds up, slows down, speeds up, etc. Finally it just keeps spinning and vibrating. It never gets to the point to be able to copy it or even "read" the contents.

MM did replace the first one with the problem. They said they first put it into their own computer and it worked OK before sending the replacement to me. The replacement disk had the same problem here.

Second, why would it work in my karaoke machine but not in the computer drive?

I have about 20 MM disks and only recently had this problem and only on these two (so far).

Update: Even though the disks still vibrate I was eventually able to get the contents list. And surprising to me, even if they vibrated I was able to copy the songs to the hard drive.

Question, how can it read the disks when they are vibrating so hard?

Thanks to everyone for your replies. I didn't think it would be possible to transfer the songs because of the vibration.

Just a thought here, but have you tried at a lower speed? Perhaps if it spins at 1x speed, it might not vibrate as much...(perhaps why it would work in a karaoke player and not the plex drive....)Flip
