Indexing a Disc (Custom Index)

You can index a disc at up to 8 points (for a disc with 32 tracks or less) or 5 points (for a disc with over 32 tracks) so that you can easily locate a desired point. This might be useful when you play discs of symphonies or concertos that divide one piece into several tracks (see the example below).
