I just realized the other night that I'm using a 20-year-old CD player as my primary CD player in my stereo system. It's a Magnavox, purchased at the time because it was one of the first over-sampling models. It has served me quite well, though there are 3 elements of the LCD display that don't work. And the sound it produces is better than when I play CDs from my Sony DVD player. I don't know if it plays longer CDs, though. It probably won't (I don't have any to test with -- my longest is 72 minutes and something). > (Never mind that if music teachers have to punch the "advance" button > ninety or so times, to access the final elements, they will go on > disability for repetitive stress syndrome.) Ah... music educators... > ya gotta love 'em. Wouldn't this be better done with index numbers within the tracks? Or do CD players no longer have index advance buttons on them? Not only would it cut down on the number of tracks, if you set it up right it could also cut down on the number of 2-second gaps between tracks, which with 90 of them, could amount to quite a bit of found space, though not enough to get you below 74.5 minutes. -- David W.
