DVD drives and "last/previous track" button?
Dear Friends,
Greetings to all! Just a simple question. As you know, some DVD drives for computers include the "skip/next track" button plus other buttons such as stop, eject, etc., as it is the case of all or most Lite-on drives (user interface). My question is, is there any other computer drive(s) but with a "last/previous track" button in addittion to the other buttons already available? Sincerely, Carlos Albert Lacaye makberto at anothermessage dot com |

It's a software command and the players I know offer it. I suppose one could rig up such a button with a chip or two if one wished, but it's not part of the hardware I've seen for sale. Incidentally, if they were to add that, they would probably feel that other remote functions would be appropriate on the box as well: skip back, speed selection, ...

That's very interesting! Incidentally, if they were to add that, they would probably feel that other remote functions would be appropriate on the box as well: skip back, speed selection, ... Excellent point! Still, perhaps it is possible to press the "skip/next track" button until reaching the desired track, even if it means going the longest run, that is, if the desired track is right before the current track. Regardless, I hope this tactic works for all tracks, for in some cases it is not possible to go over the last track to start the disc again. On a related note, I found a drive with "volume up" and "volume down" buttons as opposed to the round volume control. I wasn't familiar with these type of volume buttons on drives.
