Q: My old 300 disc CD player shows "Table Error" upon startup...

Is she dead for good? I can't seem to find much info on this error message :\ BTW, it's a Sony CDP-CX300. Any info would be appreciated, thanks in advance! :beer;

probably something to do with the carousel drive system. may just need a cleaning+oil.

time to upgrade to BRD changer anyway :biggrin:

I lol'd...

At around $700 for the BDP-CX960 it's almost a wash with 7 2tb drives for storage of 400 ripped BluRays (I'm assuming around 30GB a BluRay) without all the awesome that comes along with having a digital media server. (I know you'd need the supporting computer, etc... but this is AT after all)

A table error could also refer to the indexing data for your CD listing. But yeah, retire it. Buy an iPod!

time it takes to rip 400 BRD > cost of player.

Agreed. I didn't bother ripping my DVD's until I had a 200 disc DVD+/-RW changer where I automated the process. I simply load it up with discs, open the control software, check a checkbox, and hit a button, then walk away for a few days (assuming I filled it). When I come back they are all done.

I kid, I Kid... They make just fine cameras and alarm clocks!

Its not like you'd sit down and rip all 400 at once like so many of us have done with our DVD collections. You would be doing that on an "as you buy it basis" (I know there are many people out there who have hundreds of BluRays already, but I could sit down and rip my 40 or so over a few weeks no problem) and considering the cost of storage of the data has come down so significantly I don't really think that would be a huge issue.

I guess my comment should have been more along the lines that it's amazing that purchasing that quantity of storage and still to have the price even be somewhat comparable the the Sony unit is pretty impressive. I mean, in 2000 (3 years after DVDs release, BluRay being released in 2007) how many people could afford to buy enough storage, let alone the computer to successfully rip or play, 400 dvds?

(3072MB/dvd x 400 dvds = 1228800MB, assuming late 2000 prices at 1.25¢ a MB= ~$15,360 in just hard disks! And I don't think the cost/MB is adjusted for inflation. http://ns1758.ca/winch/winchest.html my source for HD prices, not sure how accurate it is but looks like about what I remember)

Anyway... mostly meant to be humorous anyhow.
