I sometimes wonder why a decision is made to provide more than the necessary number of tracks on a CD. I don't mean secondary access points as these are rarely included. For example, most of the Bantock series on Hyperion have multiple access points as opposed to, say, a CD of Haydn symphonies for which you would expect each movement to be separately tracked. An extreme case is a Chandos CD of Roussel's Bacchus et Ariane and Le festin d'araignee which has 52 tracks for a 68-minute CD. At the other end of the scale, my latest Berkshire parcel contained Pettersson's Symphony No 13 on cpo, which contains one 67-minute track. Does anyone know of any more extreme cases? Incidentally, one feature I would love to see on CD players is one that some computer media players provide: the ability to be able to select a range of tracks rather than having to program them one at a time. Perhaps there is such a machine already? Richard Pennycuick
