Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Seems bizarre to me..

Agreed, many of the features offered on cassette and CD players seemed rather persnickety, but I think the skip feature was included to null and void badly recorded LP tracks. You have to remember there wasn't any write buffer, it was real time recording so if a portion of the CD-R got burned it was burned for good.

The Pioneer PDR-509 that I used to record LPs had some interesting features that I just never found all that useful. I mainly used the thing to record LPs, two tracks at a time, one for each side. And then I had two Sony CD jukeboxes (daisy-chained) that could play a total of 800 CDs at the push of a few buttons or set it on shuffle. Of course, you'd have to listen to an entire side of an album with each track since I didn't bother trying to split out individual songs. Digital music playback has sure come a long way.

I still have the PDR-509 but rarely record vinyl anymore.
