The person who posted the "5 silent tracks and a chime" idea should

To do the job properly, you'd want to carefully arrange the track
lengths to give a wide range of time periods. For example, ten tracks
each of four minutes, two minutes, one minute, and thirty seconds. A
total of 40 tracks, time range 0:30 to 75:00. No doubt this scheme could
be improved on.

Then you'd need to provide a table to look up the starting track number
based on the time required. And hope your customers weren't too spaced
out to understand it.

It's always a compromise.
the 5 silences and a 'silence+ding' was so that you didn't need to do too
many 'skip's before you were ready.

Ah, I see. I'm used to entering the track number on the remote control.
