Didn't know where else to put this - its kind of open, but the audio phreaks will know best... I loaded up 6 CDs into the Sony multichanger on my 80 saloon earlier today - just to see if it worked basically - only had the car two weeks.
They were just 6 discs that I had to hand - nothing especially picked... Imagine my surprise when the first disc announced itself in the Sony head unit display as 'BLIZZARD' - that means a previous owner must also have enjoyed the classic rock of one Oswald Osborne in the form of 'Blizzard of Oz' and went to the finger crunching trouble of handcoding his headunit to recognise the header info on the CD. I know this method to be valid, as I have done that on some CDs that I setup on the Audi UK fitted Sony system in the S2 which is of roughly the same era. The multichanger can remember so many hundred discs and stores them in NVRAM - saves you remembering what slot you put which disc. Ahhh the old days before iPod integration.
What a freaky Ozzy co-incidence though ?
Unless of course - there is some other way the Sony system extracted this name/label from header info the disc by itself ?
