The CD Audio standard actually supports indices within tracks, which allows you to start playback somewhere in a track other than just the beginning. So basically it allows you to subdivide a track further for more fine grained random access. Sample CDs back in the day often used this index feature to overcome the 99 track limit of CD, although very few consumer CD players supported it.
The good news is that cdtv.device supports it. The CDTV_PLAYTRACK command allows you to specify start and stop track numbers AND index if you want. (Doing this in AMOS Pro is possible, although very messy.)
