Many players offer a wide assortment of features that are simply not feasible on most conventional turn- tables. , Programmability, for ex- ample, lets you play songs on a disc in the order you want to hear them — rather than that in which they were recorded. [t also lets you omit certain tracks or repeat your favorites. But before you send your request to the Nortn Pole there are a few more things about CD recordings and CD players that you should know. The smooth, highly- reflective surface of a com- pact disc contains millions of microscopic pits. A laser beam inside the CD player reads these pits and converts them to electrical energy. The important difference between this and a conven- tional turntable with a stylus solid object touches the CD’s playing surface. Therefore, there is no disc wear or distortion. Although all CD players use a single laser, some models split the laser beam. This helps the laser stay on track in case the unit is jolted. And since nearly all new popular classical record albums are being released in CD format, as are many favorites, it’s very likely you'll find the selections you are looking for.
