No, I meant media of any kind. Yes, that IS rational -- I feel that
the lack of quality in one area is a predictor of lack of quality in
other areas. Especially magnetic media of other kinds (e.g., DLT),
but I choose to carry it over to CD/DVD media as well.
Jim> BTW, how does an audio cassette "fail"? What exactly happened?
Squeek squeek sounds coming from the player, and also on the playback
sound, sufficient to obliterate the music. On all of them -- at least
ten, probably more. I have probably 100 cassettes; no other brand,
even cheap ones, have ever failed on me in that fashion.
