Seek time/Talk

Wouldn't this term also apply to the time it takes your CD player to arrive at the next track when you skip tracks? Or no? --KQ

Yes, it probably would, but I've never heard the term used for music CD players. Makes sense though. I've just realised that it isn't hard disk specific anyway. Certainly people use it when talking about computer CD players and floppy disks. Oops. --drj
