re: Digital Photo Discs won't "mount".

I don't recommend blowing air inside as that can do damage to wires, and componants as well as blow dust into positioning mechanisms. I always disassemble the unit and clean the lens manually but rarely does it help for long. If you are using CDRW media, it is the worst for failure and data loss. Never trust CDRW madia for anything, especially long term. Personally, I would have liked to have seen the same tech as the Sony mini-disk in an affordable media, the size of a CD (in both CDR or DVDR). Then you would see reliability and longevity very close to a pressed CD. I have mini-disks that are over 8 years old, been through rough handling, rewritten and edited hundreds of times and still error free. Good Luck!
