- Following this train of thought, I have a question for you technical
- folx out there: Is it implied, then, that playing 2-3 hours of music,
- even when you have to go through 2 or 4 CDs to do that, at regular
- room temperature is bad for your current CD player?
-
- If so, just how much rest is needed for the laser between plays? And
- how longs should we limit those plays? I use my Sony Discman (admittedly
- a piece of shit D-34) for hours on end without any problems, but it's only
- 2 months old. Is that bad?
