Maybe FFRR thinks that college radio jocks are more resourceful and creative than commercial jocks, and so can invent a way to use it rather than bowing to the stricutres of conventional radio programming. Why not just play the Cd from the beginning for like 5 minutes and then fade out? Or pick out a section you like, note the start time, and use the "search" function (rather than the track skip forward function) on the CD player to cue up what you want? Radio seems to be built around 4 minute tracks that have definite beginnings and ends. Maybe this is a chance to try something new . . . maybe they figured someone would like it, even if it doesn't fit what radio has dictated for years. How did you all handle that Prince CD that came out a few years ago and didn't have "track" markers on it? If it's really useless to you then mail it to me. I'm sure I can put it to good use, especially since a friend of mine is on the verge of getting the first techno college radio show in San Francisco. Laura
