No, I suspect he wanted to create TRACK boundaries. Not all consumer
cd-players actually let you select INDEX numbers. In any event, seeking to
INDEX numbers is never as fast as skipping tracks since determining the
INDEX number requires tasting the subcode [actually reading one frame of
data] as it skips forward/backwards. Seeking to another track is a known
quantity because of the TOC information. There is a formula that can be
used to determine how many mm out from the origin of the CD (also defined in
a standard) given MSF values. With INDEX values, there is no such shortcut
possible.
