| I use programming primarily to turn my rock CD's into a programmable
45. Often I'll just want to hear 1 or 2 songs from each of several
CD's. Programming makes it really easy to do that, and is one of the
big reasons I like CD's.

| I use programming mainly when I'm making tapes to play at work.
Mostly, I'm excluding tracks, but occasionally I need a track
from another disc.
What I wish is that there was a way for the disc to tell the
player that two tracks are `linked'. That way, tracks that
are really introductions to the following track would be
played as one. That would be nice in shuffle (random) mode.

Yes, that would give me an incentive to buy a home computer.
Are there any home CD players that can be controlled externally?

My first CD player, a Maggie 2020, had the "exclude" feature you
would like. I didn't often use it -- mostly, I used it when putting
CD's onto tape for the car, and wanted to cut a track or two from
a longer_than_45_minute CD so it would fit on one side of a tape
-- but it's still a useful feature to have. I wish my current player
(Pioneer CLD-1010) had that feature. I *could* just program all
of the tracks *except* the one or two I want to leave out, but the
Pioneer only accepts 10 program items, and one disc that I have
in mind for transfer to tape would have more than 10 tracks to
program. I suppose I'll end up borrowing back the Mag from the
friend it's loaned out to in order to do the taping.
The Pioneer is nifty for being able to play both videodiscs and
CD's (four different sizes/formats all together), which is the
reason I got it in the first place, but it's lacking somewhat in
programmability.

| Sony's newest players can also store a program for discs - it seems
to have a lot more storage available than the Philips players.
Some models alternatively allow you to set your own "index" points
for a disc that can be later cued to, and the CDP-707ESD also can
store a title for a disc that displays while you play it.
I think certain Sony models allow "track delete" programming,
and I have seen Akai ads claiming such a feature too (the "without"
key).
I have seen RS-232 controlled CD players, but they are professional
models and very expensive.
