I,ve got a Sony D99 that i purchased for fl. 509, - (a few hundred dollars or something) in 1991 when i was a teenager. Unfortunately since a few years ago, it won't spin up. It was a nice discman with metal parts and nice lit front display. I didn't have a cd player, so this was portable as well as attached to my old receiver when i got home. It had a headphone socket with extra pins for a proprietary headphone. Unfort. that headphone the plastic earpieces disintegrated over the years rendering it unusable. One specialty of the discman was that you could skip (not program unfort.) indices! Cds don't only have chapters, but also sub chapters or indices. Mostly a 2 second pre index or a deliberate funky pregap at some special cds and then the song at index 1. Now more than 2 subchapters or indices were rarely used in cds. Players that display them, well, around late 80's i, ve seen a bunch of players that did display indices, even some of my CDV players (that are from 1988) do. But options of using it,... very few. Besides my discman i haven't seen many or i don't know. I only own 2 cds with that feature. One double cd of Carmina Burana and one from J M Jarre, Revolutions i think Chapter 1: "Industrial Revolution" – 16:33 Index 1: "Overture" – 5:20 Index 2: "Part 1" – 5:08 Index 3: "Part 2" – 2:18 Index 4: "Part 3" – 3:47
Later they reissued this cd with some of the indices being normal chapters.
