Thanks Phil! great info!
In a quest for even longer continuous recordings, I'm about
to buy the MZ -- (seems odd that Macs, apparently,
can't upload legacy recordings to computer.)
Is it accurate to say that digital copies of MD recordings
do degrade with each copy? The meagre 30-year max shelf-life
of MDs will be an issue...
