is it bad to constantly skip tracks on your cd player?

Question

i put a mp3 cd in my audio player in my car and i don't have any subfolders so i can't skip to the song i want, i have to skip a lot of tracks in order to get to the song i want. so, i was wondering if it's bad to constantly skip tracks on my audio player? if you guys know a free software to burn mp3 players that has subfolders, please let me know

Answer 1

even if you had one of those kinds of cds I don't think your car cd player would recognize the folders. When you download mp3 files you can put them into folders and then put the folders on your burning software, though.

Answer 2

The skipping really doesn't put any extra strain on the player. The laser assembly moves about the same amount whether you pay the entire disk, or one track at the very beginning and one track at the very end.

However it can be tedious. First I'd check to see if your car player supports subfolders. Some do and some don't . If Is doesn't have a means to navigate sub folders, it won't do you much good to create them

There is a discussion on CNET (link below) that indicates that if the player recognizes sub folders, you just put the tracks in folders on your hard drive, and then burn the folders to a cd as a data cd instead of an audio cd. I have never tried this, but it seems like a free solution.

Answer 3

you may wear off the >> on the fast foward button by pressing it so much, but there would be no negative effects on the CD, nor the cd player,
