I agree the CD player cannot alter the pitch of the sound AS RECORDED, but it is possible that the recording process was defective when the CD was produced (especially if it's a digital re-master of an analog recording). This could result in a slightly flat recording. I've had a few record albums (vinyl, analog) that had just a single track that was "between" keys. -- name & address (this account) -> uunet!swbatl!dwn OR dwn@swbatl.swbt.com David Neill office -> 405-291-1990 -> uunet!swbatl!oktext!mktco Mgr - Mktg.(SWBTCo) home -> 405-749-1141 -> uunet!swbatl!oktext!frodo!david
