ABSTRACT
The CD format also offers the convenience of quick access to material stored on the disc. CD players can instantly move from one track to another anywhere on the disc with just the push of a button. Another plus of the CD player, from a production viewpoint, is its ability to cue to a track. CD players allow the announcer to find the exact beginning of a track and start the CD instantly at that point. CD timing information, such as elapsed or remaining time and track length, is helpful for production work, and the ability to select and play segments of music or to automatically fade in at any point in the music can be a creative production tool.
