So this new prisoner is in the mess hall when one of the other prisoners suddenly yells out "840". All the other prisoners crack up. Then another prisoner stands up and yells out "84". Again everybody cracks up. Later, the new prisoner asks his cellmate what this is all about. The cellmate gives him a book of jokes, all of which are numbered. "You see, we've been here a long time and we know all the jokes in the book, so now we just yell out the joke number and everyone knows the joke it represents.
So the new prisoner looks thru the book and finds a joke to share. At lunch the next day he stands up and yells "143". Not a sound - not a laugh.
Later he asked his cellmate what the deal was. "Well, some can tell 'em, some can't".
I'm starting to feel like the new prisoner. I must not know how to "ask em". I put a question up (on mj board) and lots of people read it but no help. Let me try again:
Can anybody enlighten me about CD-R players and compatibility issues? I've been burning CDs with MJ for a quite a while and they all play well in any of the handful of playback devices I use. Now, more or less corresponding to my switch over to MJ 9, my burned CDs perform poorly, or not at all, in one player - but perfectly in the others. CDs burned by other people on whatever systems they are using play perfectly.
Is it possible that something about 9 is incompatibile with this particular player. The player is a Bose system in a 2000 Acura.
Summary:
Old CD-Rs burned on MJ work fine.
CD-Rs burned, old or recent, on other systems work fine.
CD-Rs burned recently on MJ work poorly.
The symptoms are:
Takes a long time for the CD-R to engage (write in script?).
Sometimes won't engage at all.
Once engaged CD will play thru if untouched.
If shifted to a new track it will have difficulty engaging again.
Tracks work better at the beginning of the cd than the middle and onward.
Any advice or enlightenment is appreciated.
