Ah! Yes, this does shed some extra light on things. What I
gathered initially is that ONLY the runout groove can be turned into
an endless repeat lock groove, which I understand and can see.
What you are saying though is that it can be anywhere on the
record, providing that one physically picks up the stylus and moves
on the needle, otherwise it will keep on repeating itself, right?
Which comes back to the initial post which described that the
track *after* the lock groove kept playing from inside out, ie,
coming back in _towards_ the lock groove, which, thus, had to be
located somewhere preceding the runout grooves.
Elementary, my dear Watson ... huh??
And the POINT of lock grooves is .... ? I imagine it is useful for
mixing - is that the only purpose they serve?
