 \small\noindent\textbf{Abstract.}
-A DJ dragging a record under a needle controls playback with a bandwidth the apps you actually listen and watch through will not give you. The scratch is continuous, gestural, pitch-and-time coupled, and its feedback is the sound itself, arriving in under ten milliseconds. Set that against how the platforms that own listening and watching --- YouTube, Spotify, Netflix, Apple, Instagram --- let you touch a recording: a dropdown of round numbers. \emph{0.5$\times$, 1$\times$, 1.25$\times$, 1.5$\times$, 2$\times$.} Some offer nothing at all; Spotify still plays every music track at exactly one speed and refuses to let you change it. This paper names the gap between those two worlds \emph{granularity}, and argues it is not a niche complaint but a large opening left where it matters most --- the default transport of the surfaces that own consumer listening and watching. I ground the argument in the theory of directness~\citep{hutchins1985direct}, in Buxton's account of continuous degrees of freedom and input bandwidth~\citep{buxton2007multitouch}, and in the mature craft of turntablism~\citep{hansen2010scratching} and elastic audio~\citep{ableton2024warp}, which prove that fine, expressive, real-time control of recorded sound is a solved problem the consumer layer simply declines to expose. Then I show that \ac{}~\citep{scudder2026ac} already ships this control across its players by default --- pieces where scrubbing, speed, and pitch are continuous gestures with the output as their feedback --- and argue that the itemized speed menu is a temporary artifact of an industry that mistook playback for a settings panel instead of an instrument.
+Consumer playback interfaces reduce continuous media to a small set of discrete commands. A record under a hand offers something richer: position, speed, direction, and pitch remain coupled to one gesture, with the sound itself as immediate feedback. I call the difference between these systems a \emph{gap in granularity}. Drawing on direct manipulation, input bandwidth, turntablism, and elastic audio, I argue that expressive control of recorded media is already a solved technical problem that consumer platforms have chosen not to expose. \ac{} demonstrates the alternative through tape-like players in which scrubbing, speed, and pitch remain continuous properties of touch. Playback can be an instrument, not merely a settings panel.
