ABSTRACT:
A device for reproducing music includes a non-volatile memory for storing, for two or more magnetic record carriers (2), a start position signal for a favorite piece of music on each one of these record carriers. The device further including an address signal generator (29) for generating an address signal in conformity with the record carrier inserted into the device, and an operating circuit (39) for generating an activation signal upon operation of the operating circuit. If a user has listened to a record carrier, an FTP mode can be switched on by operating the operating circuit (37), while the memory (25) is adapted to supply the start position signal at an output (37) in response to the address signal, the start position signal being stored in the memory for this one piece of music on the record carrier inserted into the device. The output (37) of the memory is coupled to an input (22) of a comparator for applying the start position signal to the comparator, while another input (21) of the comparator (20) receives a position signal in conformity with the current position of the reproducing head (1) with respect to the record carrier. The device further includes a transport control circuit (9) adapted to transport the record carrier at a raised transport speed to the start position of the piece of music in response to the control signal at an output (43) of the comparator and in response to the activation signal, and to switch off the transport after the start position of the piece of music has been reached.
