Abstract

The present invention provides a multi-CD player with a quick scanning feature where the multi-CD player stores samples of a portion of each of the CD's into a fast access memory device such as a random access memory (RAM). The multi-CD player provides a mode where the stored portions are played back quickly so that a user can select which CD to play based on the playback portions.
