if only someone could do a custom os with preview

i think the 2000xl is a great machine
the only big lack is the direct preview from zip/card as 1000/2500

anybody know if it is an hardware limit or could be a custom os add this function?
my 2 cents opinion of course

What's wrong with loading the sample, press Play to preview, and then press Discard if you dont like it?

it's only a matter of workflow infact... it's slow
otherwise in the 2000xl way you decide what to do and don't get listen to random sample

That is where I use CDxtract on my PC with sample CDs, compact flash cards, whatever. It allows me to easily audition every sample in my library, so I know what I have and what might fit my needs for a particular track. While it isn't as easy as the audition features some samplers have, with a little planning, you can easily preview any and all samples in your library.

Sound Forge is the sht for this! Plus if you are a Dj, it comes bundled with CDArchitect for tracking down/editing long mixes for burning to cd.
