I'm used to getting errors at the beginning and end of some tapes, but I started noticing random errors in the middle of selections as well as terrible playback quality. Go to a decent computer store (Fry's. MicroCenter, PCConnection.com, etc.) and buy a DDS cleaning cartridge. These are different from the standard audio DAT cleaner in that they have special coding (read holes in the case) that make the drive go into a cleaning mode. I think one or two passes with a cleaning tape fixed my problems. Unless you're heads are irreversibly worn or the drive is out of alignment, it should help.

I like the one at http://www.countycomm.com/bailout%20bag.htm In addition to their description, there's some padding in at least one of the compartments. You might also want to look at some of the flashlights they sell. I have no affiliation with them, except as a customer. (I don't know if they ship to foreign countries at this time, though. Finding someone to reship shouldn't be that hard.) Seth ------------------------------ From: ISTEIN2@aol.com Subject: Dylan Just Being A Dickhead! Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2003 12:13:49 EDT It's one thing to be anti-taper, as Bob Dylan surely is, but quite another to refuse to contract so that his guest appearance performances could be included on the Dead's OCRS series. Let's go back into past history a bit and you'll find out it's totally Bob Dylan, not his record company who is responsible for much of his irrational acts toward tapers. I happen to have friends who work as security at the Jones Beach Amphitheater. Some years ago when Dylan was to appear at that venue, I was told by my friends that word came down direct from Bob Dylan regarding tapers. His instructions were for security to grab the DAT decks of anyone they caught taping, and then (after confiscating the tape) smash it as hard as they could onto the concrete floor. I'm sure that Dylan would have ordered all tapers shot in the back of the head at close range, if he could get away with it. This guy is nothing but a complete dickhead, and I can't understand why the Dead even allow him onto their stage when he then controls their ability to sell their own music. Back when Jerry was alive, Bob Dylan never would have attempted to pull what he's done here. No one ever said "No" to Jerry, and the music was free as soon as it was played. I've taped Dylan plenty of times when he opened up for the Grateful Deadin the past. We never were told not to run our decks while he was playing. Personally, I think Dylan just knows his vocals really suck now, and he doesn't want anyone to hear it after he's done getting through destroying the songs. They should just turn off his mics and guitar throughout the mix, and let him just jump up and down on stage while everyone else is attempting to create music. That happened once before at MSG during the Fall 1994 run. He made a surprise guest appearance on stage on the Monday night show, but his mic was never turned on. You were able to see him, but no one heard him! Sorry to be so negative here about Dylan, but his not allowing the release of the songs he choose to come on stage and join the band in, is just beyond any explanation. Why did the Dead ever invite this clown to open up for them? I'm surprised Bob Dylan does not have his own secret "Taper Police" to wander through the taper sections and smash decks that are recording him when he's playing with the Dead as well! ------------------------------ From: Colin Liston Subject: Re: Jimmy Cliff's taping policy?

Dylan (or his security agents) would have lost the resulting lawsuit for damages; New York State law specifically makes the venue responsible for confiscated equipment (in fact, they can't even confiscate, they can offer the tape the choice of leaving _with a refund for the ticket price_ or letting them hold his equipment).
