    For how much does this Crestron sell? I take it that since the program 
retrieves CD information from the changers, the Crestron cannot display track 
titles (because the S-link laungage apparently does not offer commands for 
tracks).  Or could the Crestron get tracks from CDJ somehow (after the user 
enters the tracks into CDJ)?

 This particular installation uses the CNMSX-Pro controller, and CT-3500
 touchpanels.  It has the capability to display the CD information on the
 touchpanels (using Slinke to obtain the data from the changers), but I
 haven't written that part of the software for it yet.
