  • Patent number: 6680879
    Abstract: A CD-R recorder capable of re-recording a series of musical tunes from a phonograph record to a CD-R, with addresses assigned to the respective tunes for ease of accessing later. Included is a random-access memory on which there are to be stored by the user a series of incremental addresses to be assigned to the successive tunes recorded, and the expected playing times of the tunes ascertained previously, as from the record jacket or by pre-recording of the tunes. The actual playing time of each tune being recorded is measured and compared with the expected playing time of that tune on the RAM. Upon agreement of the expected and the actual playing time of each tune, the addresses on the RAM are incremented to cause each tune to be recorded with an address assigned thereto according to its storage location on the disk.
