A comment on Sony plans to make vinyl records again. Parent comment
Nope; many CD players, like the first one I got in 1986, had only a two-digit led display for the track number -- there was no time display at all.
EDIT: It was a Fisher Studio Standard that looked like this, so I guess it did show an "index number" while scanning through a track.
