No, not exactly. It is about playing audio - you wrote that you might want to stop and start in the middle of the thing so you could discuss it in a training session. That was the reason that you would prefer a tape. My remark was that a CD player usually has a pause button that stops the CD at that particular spot and lets you continue there again later on. Of course, as soon as you hit the stop button or take out the CD, the position is lost and you'd have to look it up again. Then I mentioned another advantage of CD, and that is that you can easily skip to a certain point without having to wind or rewind, which you often have to do with a cassette tape when it is not at the position you want. This skipping can be made a lot easier if the CD is divided into small logical sections. But even within a section you can relatively easily skip to a certain point with the skip forward and skip backward buttons of the CD player. Maybe this was too much detail, in that case forgive me... ;-) Koos ------------ koos de heer auryn management advies utrecht, netherlands mailto:[email protected] http://www.auryn.nl/
