The salesperson was quite unhappy about my discovery and tried to find an explication about it and said that he will ask JVC to take out that mention. Now: what's the problem ? Why is such a limit embedded in the softwsre ? It seems to me that no such limit is mentioned in the standard. There are other product with this limit ? I will in the next future buy a system, but the limit of 20,000 files makes me unsure: I have a lot more files to put on a single CDROM. Any ideas?
