My first CD of Genesis' Foxtrot used index marks to separate the sections of Supper's Ready. My first CD player let me select them. I used it once, just for the novelty value. My second CD player didn't support index marks. I haven't seen them since. Hyperion records often use tracks as index marks on long pieces; e.g. Robert Simpson's single-movement 9th symphony is split into 17 tracks, used for references in the booklet text. It makes no sense whatsoever to shuffle these! (Though I did do it for "fun" once.) I ripped it as a single track. I've sometimes wished I could have a more powerful playlist language, that (for one thing) would let me group some tracks together as a unit. A playlist would contain a number of sections, which could be individual tracks, or a list of tracks; a player could be instructed to shuffle by section, but keep each section intact; or even to shuffle within a section once any track in it was selected, before going elsewhere. It would be tiresome to build such playlists, though - shuffle by album is much simpler to set up! In a very few places, where I have a set of songs that I always want together, I've ripped them as a single track. (Returning to Genesis, I've done this with Unquiet Slumbers / In That Quiet Earth / Afterglow from Wind & Wuthering; I also have Afterflow as a separate track.) -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17312 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
