How about a software solution: isn't it possible to program a pause at the
end of each track on a CD? I thought I saw this option in Samplitude.

Hi All
Hope this is the right newsgroup to ask - you were all very helpful
earlier in the year when I was looking at ways of micing the rostrum
in our church..... (ended up with 2 boundary mics - works well -
thanks !)

Next problem.
We have 2 services (Sat & Sun) at the Church - up to now we've had 2
organists - so they've shared the work out between them - no problem.

One of our organists fell and broke her leg (badly) last week. This
leaves just the one - who can't be expected to turn out 2 days a week
- as well as the other work she does for the church.

So - solution - make a CD - so that when she's not there, she can be
there (if you see what I mean). Plan to record the three of four hymns
& other bits of music as separate tracks - and whoever's chairing the
service can then stop / start the CD player at the right points.

Taking this one step further - it'd be nice if the CD player could be
set up to play tracks in a specific sequence, and would automagically
g play a track then stop, cued and ready to play the next track in
the playlist......

Does such a piece of kit exist ? Or would it be possible to implement
this system by going fully 'solid-state' - maybe with an MP3
player....

Anybody been there & done that ??

Operation of the system needs to be _very_ simple - ideal would be a
single big red button labelled 'play next track' - but anything
approaching this level of simplicity would be good.....

I guess I could design / build something based around a PIC - talking
to a computer cd-rom drive - but if this particular wheel has already
been 'invented' then I'd rather not reinvent it again...

Thanks in advance
