Re: Thanks for the explanation

The problem with these types of block transfers and large buffers is that it creates latency. This interferes with the usualy CD-player type controls, such as FF FR, skip to next songe etc.. Not that it cannot be done, but implementing these functions in software and hardware with a fully buffered system is non-trivial and requires the buffers to be flushed etc., without causing pops and ticks in the playback, or unusually long delays.
