though Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Are there units out there that allow you to scroll through the songs on a disc while a song is being played and allow you to cue it up to start immediately following the one currently playing?thanks a bunch,- troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Yes, the NH900 with RM-MC40ELK remote excels at this. I imagine the NH1 is just as well. The 40ELK is like an acquired taste; definite is my ability to navigate masterfully within, but arthritis will probably get the best of me.

Justin42 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 How do you set it to queue next without stopping the current song? At least on my NH1, I can be navigating, but if I actually select a song, it immediately goes to it...I love the RM-MC40ELK, personally, but I haven't figured that one out yet!

ROMBUSTERS Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 im pretty sure this can be done on any model with some limitations-you can scroll through your entire listing of tracks while the current song is playing-if you select a new track it begins to play-there is no way to preselect a track while the current one is playing unless it falls under the normal/shuffle/group/artist/etc play mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 ROM, I believe it's called "Program Play". I haven't used it much, but it can do what this gentleman is seeking as far as I know.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select the songs you wish to book mark by holding enter for 2secs, you should notice a mark next to it. Then run the player in Bookmark mode.

Christopher Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Anyone have much experience with this mode? If so, how do they feel about the useability of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
though Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 so bookmarking can be described as scrolling through songs while one is being played to tell the unit to play the next bookmarked song???cool. hope this is a standard feature on all new MD units!!!!

ROMBUSTERS Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 i just bookmarked about 100 tracks on my HiMDheres my report:the process is simple, easy and it works however it is slightly slow.you must hold down enter for 2 seconds to bookmark it.once all of your tracks are bookmarked (the ones u want anyways), you just press NAVI and select bookmark. you can then choose shuffle or whatever just like normal play. If you have DiscMemory on, ejecting the disc and putting it back in will preserve your bookmarks so you dont have to do it again.To remove a bookmark you select the song and hold enter for another 2 seconds and its goneONE BIG PROBLEM THOUGH: if you edit any track via sonicstage you will loose all of your bookmarks. I assume this is because it checks the dates of creation for the TOC as well as its name in order to distinguish between different discs (sony claims about 64 or something in the manual for disc memory).However on the go its relatively fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerodB Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Please note that there is a difference between "PROGRAM PLAY" and "BOOKMARK PLAY".A Program is a playlist you create prior to listening, while bookmarks are on-the-fly playlists you can create while listening.Troy - The bookmark function is what you're asking about I believe.

daremo Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 (edited) That's pretty cool. Always wondered what that did. Any NetMD models have this feature too, or is this HiMD only?Edit: Tested that question myself. My N505 has no such mode.

Embio Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Anyone have much experience with this mode? If so, how do they feel about the useability of it?←I love it! i 'discovered' it a few weeks ago and now use it a lot. I bookmark a handful of tracks (on a 'discography' MD - i do the singles) and put it on random within the bookmark mode.its great! and yes you could use it to cue songs and make a playlist.

ROMBUSTERS Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 like i said my only problem with bookmarks is the fact that if you edit the disc at all you loose all of your bookmarks. an on HiMDs depending on your chosen codec you may have a LOT of bookmarks to lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My N505 has no such mode.the feature started in the *10 for MD (510, 610, etc)edi: changed the quote.. pressed the wrong one Edited February 25, 2005 by The_Stamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
though Posted February 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 excellent. thanks for all the replies guys. i hope they continue to use the "bookmark" feature on all future units. i also hope they bring out a home and/or pro HI-MD deck with mp3 playback.- troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
