	I think that the choice of putting speed-variation option on
a CD-player should not be constrained by the requirement that it
be hi-fi.  What are people going to be using the feature for,
anyway?  My particular use, since I'm a musician, is that I'd
want to use the feature to SLOW DOWN  the music in order to 
transcribe or learn by ear what a musician is playing.  Other
people may want to play spoken CDs at higher speed so they can
assimilate information quicker.  In both of these cases, I don't
think the user really is going to care that the audio quality is
distinguishable from normal playback.
