Guess I can delurk one more time today. ;-)
I often wonder why MD and CD changers don't cache the disc information
ahead of time! Maybe it's just me, but I think waiting before the music
starts is much less annoying than waiting a few seconds between songs. I
think it would be much more enjoyable to have a MD or CD changer do *all*
of the reading, remembering and shuffling at the beginning instead of
after each song. I don't see why a unit, once it has all the track info
from all 5, 6 or 10 discs, couldn't lay out which track plays when
*ahead* of time! Then you could have a shorter space between songs.
Okay so it wouldn't eliminate silence on CD changers totally but it
would really reduce the wait time. And with MD players and changers with
a decent buffer there wouldn't be any silence at all!
