I already have a more serious bug to report. I shall include this one
as a bug, if you like, on the same report.

My bug is that you can't play CDs with long, tracked, movements without
getting interruptions where the track number changes. Sometimes it
even jumps short tracks entirely, for example, where you have a set
of continuous but tracked variations and some are maybe under a minute.
I've read of this fault in the earliest CDplayer reviews (1983/4) but
had never experienced it until wmcdplay.

Cheers,
