Apparatus for playing record carriers.

摘要

The apparatus comprises a memory (6) and means (1, 3) for storing in the memory (6) record-carrier identifications together with preferred selections which indicate specific parts of the record-carrier associated with the record-carrier identification. Prior to playing of a record-carrier loaded into the apparatus the record-carrier identification of this record-carrier is determined and it is detected whether the memory (6) already contains a preferred selection for the detected record-carrier identification. If this is the case, the record-carrier to be played can be played in conformity with one of the associated preferred selections stored in the memory (6). The apparatus comprises means (3) for updating data indicative of the playing frequency of the record-carrier associated with the stored record-carrier identification. If upon entry of new disc identifications and preferred selections the available storage capacity is inadequate, the disc identification and preferred selection associated with the record-carrier played least frequently is removed from the memory (6) depending on the playing-frequency data.
