Every CD player I tested seem only to skips sectors when doing fast forward. You hear short pieces of the song at original pitch. Perhaps they do some crossfading between audio chunks to lower pops and clicks, I don't know. I think the only exceptions could be DJ-style players that perhaps allow to speed up the song (without skipping sectors). Probably this requires to read the CDDA data like a PC CDROM drive does and then send that audio to a DAC at higher rates (or probably more likely resampling the input and output it at the usual 44.1kHz). cheers, Benno http://www.linuxsampler.org Paul Davis wrote:
