Button Layout properties and how they work under different Modes

Good idea for CD Mp3 players, since one reason people don't buy it because they're so big What about making CDs that are half the radius of normal CD's, (of course with anti skip)- these CD's could be written by normal CD writers because all they need is a bigger CD with the a hole in the middle for the small CD to snap into it. The mini CD could be written on with any old CD-ROM, minor software is just needed. With Anti-skip features And clear and simple construction with minimal software inside. Should be pretty cheap too. The only disadvantage is that it would hold half of what a normal CD would, which is still a lot of Mp3's. With 4mb average Mp3 song and 340 MB of space, 85 Mp3's could be stored in the CD. It is pretty small so buttons have to be spaced strategically so user can be able to control the player easily without looking at the player itself.

Features
-Saves Energy if pause button is on to long The Mp3 player automatically turns off and remembers your spot by storing it in the CD space.

-BASSBOOST BUTTON

-Volume Bar can also serve as battery gauge when volume is left untouched

-The playlist is in the CD, the playlist will just tell what order the Mp3's to be played.

-Buttons have engravings that are easy to know without looking (stuff like Lines and points)

-AM/FM Radio With Presets
Radio Included for complete entertainment- I hate CD's without radios

-Random, Repeat Options

-Hold Switch

- Instead of a stop button you just press the play button 2 times tapped, like a double click. A Little sound for confirmation should fallow after that.

Selection System
Instead of having the play list on display, which would take out too much energy and cost too much It is still needed because of the large number of Mp3 that'll be stored. So whenever you make a CD with Mp3's with the software, the software will offer to you to print a play list, in a small sheet of paper, that would look like this

1-MarilynMaNSON_1999.MP3
2-ChokingRats_Tired.MP3
… And so on and so on in a small font so that the paper is more of a slip easily taken around and not becomes a hassle. This takes out a huge energy burden on the Media Player. So on the Mp3 player Display there would only be a number for the Mp3. If you look at your list youll know what song is being played.

How to Pick an Mp3
Let's say you look at your list and want to play
146-Loonbaggers_you.mp3
You just select 56 in the Mp3 player.

The Mp3 selection (to select which Mp3 to play) method in the player itself will consist of 4 buttons
The Mp3/Sel Button or "Enter Button"
The Play button will be the "100's button"
The Reverse it's he "10's Button"
The Forward is the "1's button"

Let say that you want to choose Mp3 number 143
Press Mp3/Sel Button.
You press 100' button once
You press 10's button 4 times
You press 1's button 3 times
(While you Press the buttons the numbers will come up on the displays)
Then press Mp3/Sel button again, this will start the song

(if the number you want runs over what you wanted it will just keep going going and start at the firts number for example.. if you wanted the number 5 but missed it, the player will keep on counting 6, 7 , 8 ,9 and then start at 1 again.)
