Colby,

I was excited to see the new automation command to insert a disk into a playlist. But I'm a bit confused why you chose to allow only selection of the disk by it's CDJID number. In particular, since there is no way to know the CDJID number without opening the database outside CDJ. It would have been easier for us if you could allow us to select the disk by it's position in the database. From the structure of the access database (there is an ID Field), all disks are seqentially numbered starting at 1. Right now I have to open the database, go to the record number I want, eg. "10", and retrieve the CDJID number, e.g. "100FE911", then issue the playlist_insert command. Integrating this kind of selection into a home automation system is difficult. It's not easy to allow someone to enter "100FE911" from a keypad. Much easier to allow them to enter a number from 1 to 1200 (or whatever maximum CDJ ends up handling) and then just pass that to CDJ.

It would be REALLY nice if we could select the disk by it's sequential number in the database. Also, please add the sequential disk number to the option to customize the library header.

Great work otherwise!!
