No song titles shown on the MD-player

i'm afraid you are correct - it is a flaw the flaw being you bought the wrong one - not the wrong player, just the wrong car. This newsgroup is for the classic mini (unless your name is madmax), not the BMW BINI

please refer to alt.autos.new-mini for more help.

Pay no attention to the rudeness of some individuals here. It sounds more like it is in the way you are recording the MD. Can you purchase a prerecorded MD and see if that corrects the problem? I have the same problem on my recorded CD's.

Thanks for your reply madmax. I realize from previous posts that there are a few vintage mini ayatollahs in this NG who would have preferred the mini production to be halted as this might have given an icon status to their car (yes some people love their GDR-made Trabant!)

Back to the point: no, in this part of the world (Western Europe) it is getting increasingly difficult to find blank MD's, and prerecorded MDs have been out of the shelves for some years now, and anyway, I do not have the impression that this would help: if I put the MD into a portable player, it shows the track title.

Don't be conned into replying to this troll. It is either our regular or one of his mates. Ignore these people and they will go away.

I agree David, I just read between the lines and smile, Fitzy

"One" of his mates ? That narrows it down, he can't have many :-)

I was just trying to help out with the original question. Perhaps you should try actually reading the lines. Then you wouldn't have that silly smile on your face.

A friend had a same problem - take 1 large harmmer ~ sledge preferably, smash all body pannels, interior and mechanicals until left with MD player , then junk for a CD player. Who uses MD?!!? - CDs are fading out for mp3/ iPoos - get one of them.

harmmer?

English tool much like a hammer except much bigger, thus doing more harm

HTH Jim

Explains some of the quality English craftsmanship that I have seen.

Isambard Kingdom Brunel for example used them all the time. Now THAT was quality English craftsmanship, Wallace Barnes, Henry Bessemer, Frank Whittle, Sir Geoffrey de Havilland ..... Quality British Engineering all round !!

Never heard of any.....not too popular out of the UK, huh.

Brunel designed and built bridges, the Thames tunnel and hundreds of other historic landmarks. Barnes Wallace designed and built the bouncing bomb and the Lancaster adaptations to carry them (also the aiming mechanism). Henry Bessemer, Steel manufacturing on a mass (and cheap) scale, Frank Whittle, the jet engine, De Havilland, designed and built planes, pioneered long distance jet flight, most famed for The Vampire and Venom fighters.

Thusly these guys are famous all around the world, contributed greatly and inspired people world wide in their respective fields, as for other 'crap', British engineering have a look at India's rail service, you'll see ancient British trains still in service still running daily.

Closer to you though, how about John Rennie, he too built bridges. The name may not be familiar to most but he built one of the older London Bridges which was in service for years until it was sold and shipped to America and rebuilt brick by brick in the states. By now all English people will have caught on to this historic story as the imbecile that bought the bridge had mixed up London Bridge with Tower Bridge, so wasted a shed load of money not only in buying wrong bridge but also in shipping costs and labour costs.

Thanks for the cash Robert McCulloch !! :-)

Even the French like to do things like this (yes, even them). How many times has the Eiffel Tower been sold to American tourists ? Funny thing is that is the ONLY notable landmark designed and built by Americans as a gift to the French. Now let's have a look at America's most famous landmark, The Statue of Liberty, that was designed and built by the French in return (also to show up the Americans) for the Eiffel Tower

History lesson over

Jim

Applause,,,Applause,,Applause C'mon madmax, ( this is the only time I will address you direct,) even you have got to give this guy credit here, even I enjoyed the history lesson Thanks Jim

Fitzy

Damn ! My grammar sucks ! :-) Jim

Whatever you say, chief.

OK, very entertaining.

"Whatever I say, what a wonderful philosophy you have"
