OK. I've fixed this and (I think) the problem with the player skipping. I've
posted a new download on the site. I won't know for sure until someone tries
it and gets back to me because the problem doesn't occur on my machine.

Subject: [slinkelist] Sony CD Changers and Sony MiniDisc Recorders
If any body can help me with the following, I'd greatly appreciate it!
I have a my Slink-E connected to two Sony CD Changers (CDP-CX260 and
CDP-CX350). These changers are then connected to my B&O system (some people
are horrified by this - I like it). I'd like to add a mini-disc recorder to
the SlinkE bus and also route the audio to my B&O system. I've looked at
Sony's 530 and 930 MD recorders.
I have two specific questions I'd like to hear people's opinions on...
1. Can I route the MD audio-out through the audio input on my second changer
as though I was daisy chaining another player? I need to do this as the B&O
system is some way from my changers/MD rack and I don't want to buy/run
another high quality cable. Also, the B&O system has only one auxilliary
input.
2. Any reasons why I shoud choose the Sony MDS530 over the MDS930? I may
have these model numbers wrong. I'm in the UK and can get the MDS530 for
£150 (~$225) and the MDS930 for £200 (~$300).
As above, any help appreciated.
Regards,
Leon

I don't think that models below the 900 series support all the slink=20
commands such as track titling, editing etc., but only basic PLAY, STOP=20
etc. The older 700 series sure don't, so I would suspect that the 530=20
doesn't either. The way to check would be to see if Sony's MD-PC kit is=20
available for that model or not.
The 900 series is a really well built piece of equipment and worth the=
price.

Subject: [slinkelist] Re: party GUI
John, let me see if I can help you...
Unfortunately the PartyGUI depends on CDJ for its
automation interface (perhaps I will sever this link
someday but It works well for me) so CDJ must be
running but minimized.
The readme explains most of this but the basics are as
follows:
the remote file is what you would use to control
partyGUI via any remote. basically if you have a
remote that there is a CDE file for put that CDE file
in the same directory as PartyGUI.exe. Change the ini
file to point to it. Make sure the keys mappings in
the ini file match the names of the keys in the CDE
file. This will give you remote control of the entire
GUI.
Hope this helps.

This almost sounds like the problem I had. Colby has put a newer version
yesterday with a trailing 'a'. Try that one. It corrected my problem. It

This started happening since the March 27 update:
When I create a playlist (either from a search, manually adding or loading
one) then hit play, both of the cued songs start playing. If I hit stop and
start again, it then works fine. Any ideas?

Colby, you're soo wonderful. Thanks so much for your speedy response. You
bring customer service to a whole new level... "Up Close and Personal"... 8p
BTW, I'll be in the bay area this weekend... maybe I'll give you guys a

OK. I've fixed this and (I think) the problem with the player skipping. I've
posted a new download on the site. I won't know for sure until someone tries

Subject: [slinkelist] New CDJ Version
Oh, BTW, one more thing I've noticed... When CDJ does it's disk searching
after idling for a while, it is not aware whether the CDJ:SLEEP command has
been issued and it sits there waiting for the disk status from the player
until it times out, then it moves on to the next disk slot until it times
out and so on and so forth. You might want to have it check whether
CDJ:Sleep has been issued or if the player is off.
Thx again

Subject: [slinkelist] Does the new version of CDJ have a different db format?
The CDJID field now holds a larger, more unique, hex number than the old
CDDB ID which used to be there. The DB now uses the LocationValid flag to
indicate that a disc is no longer found in the changer instead of setting
player and slot to -1.
That's about it.

I think that may be the case. I will download the new
version tomorrow, and check it out. If that is the
case, it is just a quick SQL change (probably) and I
will just add an ini flag, and the new SQL. I will
let you know (via the list) tomorrow.

Subject: [slinkelist] Help with creating a report
Hello,
I am trying to create a report that lists all tracks sorted by artist. I
know I probably can do this by using Microsoft Access (which I have), but my
database skills are somewhat limited. When I look at the Tracks Table, the
Artist field is not completely filled in. It appears that only Albums that
have Various Artists fill that field.
Is there someway to join the two tables to create this report?
I would like the format of the report to look something like this:
Artist Track Album
AC/DC
Back In Black Back In Black
Given The Dog A Bone Back in Black
Etc, Back in Black
Tommy James
Draggin' The Line Nipper's Greatest
Hits of the Seventies
Troggs
Wild Thing Best of the 60's
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
I need to send IR messages via Slink and "normally" do this by using the
"cdca.cde" device, which seems to work fine.
However it doesn't seem to work in a test invironment with "CDP-CX300

Does anyone know if there are issues using this device file for the
"CDP-CX300" Players and if there is another device file (or method) to use ?
Many Thanks,

I can send IR over S-Link commands to a CX300 here without a problem. CDJ
does this as well. Is there a specific command which isn't working? If you
have a Slink-e 1.0 (1.1 is OK), the IR over S-Link will not work for player
ID settings of CD2 or CD3 because the V1.0 was not able to send S-Link data
that wasn't a whole number of bytes.

Subject: [slinkelist] Re:
The playlist function in the PartyGUI is not for
making a savable playlist, just for selecting a series
of songs/albums to play (ala a jukebox with unlimited
quarters). You must create the playlists in CDJ and
then you will have access to them with the playlist
button in PartyGUI. (you must make sure the directory
for them is identified in the ini file)
There is a toggle on the command bar for insert vs
replace mode, insert mode just cues your selections to
the current playlist/ replace stops the current
playlist, clears it, and inserts your selections

There are some woderful programs written by other
community members on the slinke website. Once these
are have been run, your cover art will be in the
SLINKE database, and PartyGUI will pick it up.
Alternatively you can manually retrieve the cover art
from most sites such as Amazon or CDNOW.
Enjoy!

No. The input switching is done by a mechanical switch on the front and
there is no software override available. You are able to detect the switch
position via slink, but you can't control it. Big oversight on Sony's part.
You also have to put the MD into record mode to loop the inputs to the outputs.

You might think about using ADO. This is what I use in CDJ and it's very
easy. On the plus side, you could be insured it's already installed on any
machine that is runnning CDJ, so you wouldn't have to worry about inculding
it in your install at all.

No, theres a stupid 4 position on the front of my 20ES to choose the
input. Slink-e can read what input is in use (toslink 1,2 coax or
analog) - but not change it, and not change the record level either.
Silly sony.. That would be usefull for copying from changers (the 2
toslink ins) and the computer (the coax in).

Hi Michael,
I think they (he) was reffering to the Touch-Add-on. See:
http://www.touchscreens.com/external_crt.shtml
The 14-15" is about $ 169. Don't know if it's any good, but I do know the
company selling them is...

If you're looking for an "integrated" solution [a monitor with a touch interface built in] then that's probably right. What I bought from touchscreens.com was a touch "add-on" kit. It looks like an anti-glare screen that attaches to the front of your existing monitor to upgrade it to a touchscreen. Here's the link for the product:
http://touchscreens.com/external_crt.shtml
And here's the link for the price [model: MT1415PC-S]:
http://touchscreens.com/pricing.shtml
If you're looking for something smaller than a laptop, you might want to look at some of the TouchLinc products at SmartHome.com [ http://www.smarthome.com/lcdpanel.html ]. They have models that transmit X10 and ones that have an RS-232 interface [although I don't know what type of protocol it uses].
Good luck,
-Shawn

Sounds like a Palm Pilot or Windows CE box may fit the bill. Of course,
you'll need to program the thing unless someone has already done that - but
it would be relatively inexpensive (get the cheapest model) and could be
cabled into a computer via it's cradle's RS-232, or, if it can be accessed,
the internal IR port.
Another possibility is the Take Control IR controller from Harmon Kardon
(http://www.harmankardon.com/). This is an ultra-programmable remote with
touch screen (and backlight) that perhaps could be used to relay IR commands
via the Slink-e up to your computer for processing and commands returned
back down (I haven't done this myself so forgive me if it's not a practical
solution). It also provides a means to simultaneously control all your
non-slink-e'd units.
Anyway, just a thought...

Subject: [slinkelist] MD audio daisy chaining
When I tried sending audio from my computer through the "second CD" inputs
of the second CD player I got no audio. I have two Sony CDP-CX240 units.
If there's a way to enable this, I'd like to know too, so that I don't have
to manually switch the amplifier's input.
I'd like to set up playlists that have MP3 files play from the computer and
CDs play from the changers without any intervention but can't do that
currently.

Subject: [slinkelist] MD audio daisy chaining
Your message is confusing me. We're talking about the audio connections
(RCA plugs etc.), not the Slink-e control-A1 bus (3.5mm jacks).
In any case the control bus is daisy-chained from unit to unit just as the
audio is. So on the control side computer is connected to Slink-e via
RS-232 port. Slink-e port 0 is connected to first CD changer, control-A1
port. Then there's another cable from the second control-A1 port on the
first changer to the second CD changer. Audio connections are from
computer line-out to second changer "second-CD" input. From second changer
line-out to first changer "second CD" input, and from first changer line-out
to amplifier aux. input.

CDJ currently won't recurse subdirs for MP3s. You can create and album and

Subject: [slinkelist] IR operation interrupt
Right now, the Slink-e software attempts to decode all incoming IR signals,
which can put a significant CPU load on your entire system if you hold down
IR buttons continuously. I'm planning on making some changes to the code so
that the Slink-e software only looks at the first second or so of IR and
ignores the rest so that it doesn't get hung up.

I'd probably have to look with a scope to be sure, but DOSTB should go low,
then the data should appear about 1us later. About 1us after that DOSTB goes
high, and this is when you should latch the data.

Communications in this way may be slow and awkward. It may be easier just to
create an S-Link device using a FPGA and connect it that way.

At the risk of being an annoying user...
Last week I downloaded CDJ 3/30/00a and it fixed all the problems I was having with the "Poll players" option and CDJ skipping discs in the playlist. However, now it seems that if I manually pick a disc or track from the library window CDJ doesn't issue the cdjr:playing["track title","disc",etc...] response when it starts to play. Even if I resend the command cdj:notify_playing_item[on] I don't get the response. Nor does it identify the playing item in CDJ's title bar. Although both of these work fine when playing a playlist.
Did I miss a new option or something? I'm really missing this feature because I use the cdjr:playing info to display track data on my TV.
Thanks for the help,
-Shawn

Tom,
You can use cat5 for the slink-e connection with a db9 to modular RJ45
connectors at both ends (this is described on the nirvis web site). That
takes care of the slink-e. For the changers, I would recommend purchasing
the DXS unit with a (4 toslink input module) and (2 coax/2 toslink output
module) from nirvis and then running one coax line to your receiver. The
DXS will handle all the switching from the changers automatically, and you
have a digital connection all the way from your changers to your
receiver. I am doing the same thing, but the distance is around thirty
feet. I have had no problems. If you are looking for the best signal
quality this is the way to go as long as your receiver has a coax digital
in. You will have to purchase adapters from radio shack that convert the
screw-on coax adapters to the typical RCA type digital connecters most
likely found on your receiver and on the DXS. I believe people have had
success with this up to 100'. This also allows you to add additional 4
changers by just adding more input modules.
If you are going to run analog cables, you may be pushing on the distance,
and depending on the number of changers, it could get expensive just in the
number of cables you need to run. Good coax is relatively cheap.

Subject: [slinkelist] Re: What is the Happy99 virus?
The Happy 99 virus is a virus the replicates itself by attaching itself to
email messages. When you receive the virus you will get two email messages
one that is normal and another one that contains just a file attachment
called Happy99. If you open the file attachment you will see a fireworks
display and also infect your computer. Your computer will then start
duplicating every message you send with a happy99 attachment. Chances are
you won't know you have the virus until somebody comments on the fireworks
program you sent them. The one positive point is that the Happy99 is a
harmless virus as all it does is replicate itself though email.
If you have the Happy 99 virus or think you might have it, there are
programs which will check your computer for existence of the virus and if it
is found will remove it from your computer. Search the web for "happy99"
and you will find info on the virus and the cleaner programs.

I have converted the partyGUI to be an ADO application

I am going to add a new feature to the partyGUI in the

Subject: [slinkelist] CDJ questions/problems, plus CDSaver/PartyGUI
It's probably not a good idea to mention these problems/questions all at
once, but if I don't, they won't get posted.
First, my setup: I just bought my second CX350, which I have slaved to my
first CX350, which then sends audio out to my amp. I am using CDJ version
1.30 Build 2016 (01/19/00) (I'm didn't want to get the new version until it
was clear how to get PartyGUI to work with it). I also use CD saver (not
sure which version; it says modified 2 August 1999) and Party GUI (I think
it's the latest version -- I downloaded it just after Keith announced the
new version a few weeks back). (By the way, thanks for the programs
I think all these programs are great. But here are some problems/questions.
Problems with the "date added" field:
Is there a Y2K bug when sorting by date added in the library? It looks like
2000 dates are being sorted as earlier than 1999 dates.
I would like to be able to search by date added, to play all recently
acquired CDs, for example.
Buts most importantly: why is the date added field not always filled in
when a new CD is added?
It seems that whenever CDJ encounters a CDDB title containing a slash, it
treats one side of the slash as the artist and the other as the title. This
should be easy to fix?
When searching albums for number of times played, CDJ actually returns
answers based on track, not album properties. So if the album option is
selected, and one searches for nt<1, the result is a list of all albums that
have a track that has not been played. Perhaps this is intentional, but if
so, it should be added to the documentation.
Incidentally, in the help file, where comparisons are explained, "greater
than" and "less than" have been reversed.
Is there any way to save a *search* (parameterised playlists)? For example,
I often start up CDJ, search for "kw = classical & nt<1", then press random.
This gives me all the classical tracks that I have not listened to. But it
changes from session to session, so I have to type the search in every time.
Not too big a hassle, but it would be good if we could save "intensional"
playlists as well as "extensional" ones, if that means anything to anybody.
Is there a button that takes you to the library entry for the selection now
playing? If there is, I can't find it. It would be very handy!
One BIG hassle is the mess that is made it I happen to be editing a library
field when the track or disc changes: the line I was editing is put into
the new track's entry!
I've been trying to search for empty fields (for example, to find library
entries that lack a keyword classification so that I can give them one).
But when I search for, say "kw == """, I get everything. Am I missing
something very simple?
Could provision for rest-of-the-world dating systems (e.g., DD/MM/YY) be
made an option?
A trivial matter is that there is not popup help for the "option" and "tip
of the day" icons. Big deal.
I would also like to be able to search by "has image", so that I can create
random playlists of only CDs that have images. Is this possible?
I never had any "disc look up" problems when I had only one player, but now
with two CDJ just seems to skip a lookup every now and then. E.g., if I ask
CDJ to look up every disc between 200 and 300 (on either player), about 10
CDs will not be looked up.
Now for the problems with two players. One of the main reasons why I got a
second player is that I wanted to eliminate the gap between CDs, and looked
forward to using CDJ's mix/overlap feature. But I soon found out that on
normal settings, two linked CX350s will not overlap. As soon as one starts
playing, the other stops. But then I discovered the "x-fade" feature. The
problem is that it is not customisable using the CDJ dialogue. But even
worse is that it does not work with CDSaver or PartyGUI. If you x-fade
while using either of these programs, everything looks OK when the new track
starts, but when the old (faded out) track stops, it wipes most of the
CDSaver/Party GUI display, and never recovers. Can this be fixed? I'm
getting the suspicion that most of you who have two changers don't enslave
one, but hook both up to slink-e independently? I want to avoid the extra
wiring if I can. I just downloaded Marty's Slinkysaver (thanks Marty), and
it doesn't have the problem (but the text is too small for my low-res TV,
and it doesn't have the functionality of PartyGUI).
About x-fade in general: it seems that the last 10-15 seconds of each song
is not heard -- is there any way to fix this? That is, is there any way to
have the fade start the same distance from the end of the track as it takes
to fade out?
While I'm at it, could the authors of the CD covers programs (thanks James &
Brooks!)find a way of restricting lookups? A large proportion of my CDs are
not in the covers databases, so there is a lot of wasted phone time (which =
$$ over here) looking up hundreds of CDs known not to have covers on file
when I add a few new CDs. Yes, I know that I could give them dummy covers,
so that the covers program won't look for them, but I don't want to do that
because then there will be no easy way to find the CDs that need cover
scans!
Thanks for any help,
Ron Chrisley

"But most importantly: why is the date added field not always filled in

I noticed this problem a week ago for the first time and now again today. I
burned two CD's and the "date added" field was set on one and blank on the
other. The longer CD was the one that got messed up, if that makes any
difference. I am using a version of CDJ downloaded in Jan, 00, sorry I'm
not in front of it right now to give the exact version.
The other weird thing that has happened a few times, and again today, was
the artist name was left blank even when it found a match on CDDB. The name
of the album and track names were fine. Strangly, this was the CD I added
that did get the date field added.

to the list.. the install replaces your old ini file.
No, it is your ini file, it is looking for the .mdb
database from slinke, the new install replaced your
ini. Change the line in the ini to point to your .mdb

Could it be that your database in a version of CDJ which didn't have
the date added field?

I do this by programming buttons on my remote to do searches. Here's
an excerpt my my map file:
cd2:1
{
cdj:search_mode[track]
cdj:search[album=effect | (ta<1o and tl>2d) | (tl>90d and (not
(title=christmas | album=christmas | kw=christmas)))]
cdj:playlist_clear
cdj:playlist_mode[random]
cdj:playlist_play
onkyo:cd
onkyo:multisource
onkyo:cd
}
cd2:2
{
cdj:search_mode[track]
cdj:search[artist=costello]
cdj:playlist_mode[random]
cdj:playlist_play
}
Pressing 1 on my remote changes the source on my receiver to CD. And
does a search for:
sound effects (it's funny to hear the occasional chicken
squawking or car screaching away)
songs added within the last month, but not played in the past two days
songs which haven't been played in 90 days and aren't christmas tunes
Pressing 2 starts a new search so that as new items are added to the
playlist are all Elvis Costello songs (I don't have any Abbot and
Costello right now). If you have CDJ build random lists only two
tracks forward, then doing this starts the new playlist search without
an abrupt change & relatively quickly. One problem is that if the two
songs at the end of the list are missing (because disks have been
removed for some reason) the playlist seems to wrap around to the
beginning of the playlist. Now that all my CDs are back in the
changer I may not have this problem any more.

The easiest thing to do is to open the database in Access, which makes
it much easier to quickly edit fields like Keyword.

Subject: [slinkelist] PartyGUI and Macros!
Ok, so it was raining in NH all day, and my taxes are
done so.... I added macros to the PartyGUI. Basically
you put them in the ini file and the PartyGUI displays
them as another set of 'cover' buttons. (see the ini
file for syntax). I also added an in command for your
own graphic. The whole mess seems to be kind of
slowing down (ADO?) so I will just be focusing on
stability, performance, and documentation.
Let me know how this works, you can grab it at

Keep the old, I have not tested this deeply for
stability....

Keith,
Your PartyGUI software is getting better and better. I just have an
improvement suggestion: presently, the software just show you the covers of
the "REAL CDs", and not of the "MP3 albums". Is it possible to put an option
where we could see both ?
Thanks,

From: Petersen, Chris (Eng) Chris_Petersen@NAI.com
Subject: [slinkelist] how do I do this?
I have also tried to do this to create mix CD's for my car. I find it more
of a pain than it's worth. The connection would be the Master CD's analog
output into your sound cards analog input. You will need a RCA to stereo
miniplug cable for this - I actually have it set up directly digital, but
let's not go there right now. I use EasyCD for my CD mastering. With
EasyCD, you need to use the program "Spin Doctor". This program takes input
delivered to the soundcard and creates one big wav file out of it. The
source usually will be Phono or analog tape, but any source can be used
(including digital). Spin Doctor then has an option to search for blank
spaces and separate the songs into different tracks.
Now here are the problems with this process:
1) CDJ has no capability of inserting spaces in-between songs. If the
consecutive tracks are on the same player, then you will get a space due to
seek time. However, if the consecutive tracks are on different players then
there is no pause. At the best you can fade out, then fade in. This isn't
good enough for Spin Doctor. One solution is to create a MP3 track
containing 5 seconds of silence. Then insert this track in-between each
song in the playlist.
2) The analog path into the sound card is really bad. It would be far
better to take the digital out of the CD player's and go digital direct into
your sound card. This would require one of the newer sound cards like SB
Live and it would require a digital mixer like the DXS box. I have tried it
this way and it sounds pretty good.
3) The dubbing process is very time-consuming. With the process I
described, the initial dub from CDJ is in real-time; Add to that the time
it takes Spin Doctor to search for spaces (amazingly long even on a
PIII-450); Add to that the actual time it takes to burn the CD.
Conclusion:
I believe you would be better off just taking the CD's out of the Jukebox
and extracting the wav files from each song and then burning the CD. DAE
(Digital Audio Extraction - the process of extracting Digital Audio from a
CD) can be quite fast. My player can do it at 8X. There are players that
can do it even faster. This decrease in the amount of time to copy the song
would probably offset the time it takes to remove the CD from the jukebox.
Furthermore you get a very clean digital copy of each track. You also don't
run into problems of separating tracks so you can do track skipping.
I hope this helps,
Chris

on the pause between tracks from different players,
I'd like to add that you can easily force a pause by creating a map file
that uses the "using_player" command and add some code here to pause the
length you need...

Live and it would require a digital mixer like the DXS box. I have tried it
this way and it sounds pretty good.
3) The dubbing process is very time-consuming. With the process I
described, the initial dub from CDJ is in real-time; Add to that the time
it takes Spin Doctor to search for spaces (amazingly long even on a
PIII-450); Add to that the actual time it takes to burn the CD.
Conclusion:
I believe you would be better off just taking the CD's out of the Jukebox
and extracting the wav files from each song and then burning the CD. DAE
(Digital Audio Extraction - the process of extracting Digital Audio from a
CD) can be quite fast. My player can do it at 8X. There are players that
can do it even faster. This decrease in the amount of time to copy the song
would probably offset the time it takes to remove the CD from the jukebox.
Furthermore you get a very clean digital copy of each track. You also don't
run into problems of separating tracks so you can do track skipping.
I hope this helps,
Chris

Subject: [slinkelist] CDJ questions/problems reprise
This is a followup to a message I posted on April 7th, with some new
questions/suggestions.
Thanks to those of you who replied to my earlier posting.
Here are some outstanding problems. Again, I am using CDJ version 1.30
Build 2016 (01/19/00) -- are any of these solved in the latest version?
1. There is a Y2K bug when sorting by "date added" in the library -- 2000
dates are being sorted as earlier than 1999 dates.
> I would like to be able to search by date added, to play all recently
> acquired CDs, for example.
I found out that there is a keyword "time added" which permits this. I was
confused because the field is called "date added" in the library view, and I
couldn't find anything with that name in the help file. Perhaps the same
name shoudl be used for both?
2. The date added field not always filled in when a new CD is added.
3. When doing CDDB lookup, if CDJ encounters a title or artist containing a
slash, it gets confused and enters the wrong info into the library.
4. When searching albums for number of times played, CDJ actually returns
answers based on track, not album properties. So if the album option is
selected, and one searches for nt<1, the result is a list of all albums that
have a track that has not been played. Perhaps this is intentional (I don't
think it is desirable), but if so, it should be added to the documentation.
5. Incidentally, in the help file, where comparisons are explained,
"greater
than" and "less than" have been reversed.
> Is there any way to save a *search* (parameterised playlists)? For
example,
> I often start up CDJ, search for "kw = classical & nt<1", then press
random.
> This gives me all the classical tracks that I have not listened to. But
it
> changes from session to session, so I have to type the search in every
time.
> Not too big a hassle, but it would be good if we could save "intensional"
> playlists as well as "extensional" ones, if that means anything to
anybody.
I have given up on this, and have re-arranged my setup so that I now use a
apre remote to do things like this, like everybody else does. BUT:
6. How does the Slink-e data window in CDJ work? That is, If I type a
device command like "remote:3" does it decode this symbolically, using my
maps files, and then have CDJ do whatever is contained therein, or does it
look up the IR value for this, and them transmit it? I don's have the IR
xmitter hooked up right now, and want to know is that is why I am not
getting any joy when I type "remote:3" to the SLink-e data window. The
funny thing is that I get results when I type "cdj:plalist_play" etc.
7. It would be nice to have a button that takes you to the library entry
for the selection now playing?
8. CDJ makes a mess when one is editing a library field when the track or
disc changes. Exceptional weirdness occurs if one is editing details such
as "image file".
9. There is no way to search for empty fields.
10. Provision for rest-of-the-world dating systems (e.g., DD/MM/YY) would
be nice.
11. Trivial matters: no popup descriptions for the "option" and "tip of the
day" icons; ctrl-c and ctrl-v do not work when editing details such as
keywords or image file (although right clicking does work).
12. It would be nice to be able to search by "has image".
?
>
> I never had any "disc look up" problems when I had only one player, but
now
> with two CDJ just seems to skip a lookup every now and then. E.g., if I
ask

> CDs will not be looked up.
I have now given in and put my players on two different busses. This seems
to have eliminated the above problem, as well as the problems I mentioned
earlier about using the x-fade option.
13. Does anybody else using a passive mixer (such as the one whose deign is
on the Nirvis website) have a problem with levels changing as players start
and stop? Any suggestions for how it can be fixed?
14. When I first got the Covers program, I had problems with one of my CDJ
entires: whenever Covers got to that entry it would choke. So I just
attached a dummy image file to that entry, Covers would no longer look for
that entry, and everything was fine. But now this happens with every other
library entry. HAs anyone else had this problem? The error message I get
is "malformed URL" or something similar.
15. When searching by track keyword, a track will be returned if the album
keyword matches the query, even if the track does not. A more natural
inheiritance hierarchy would be nice (use album kw as track kw unless track
kw is explicitly present).
16. If I click a lot on the library scroll bars (e.g., because I am looking
for the album that is currently playing -- see 7.), the scrolling goes crazy
and continues eventhough I am not clicking anymore. This is not mere
"clickahead". Trivial, but inconvenient.
Thanks for your help.

Subject: [slinkelist] PartyGUI error 3343 - unrecognized database format
Keith,
I can't seem to get PartyGUI to start-up properly, I keep getting error 3343
complaining about the format of my .mdb file. Any hints as to a possible
cause of this corruption?
CDJ works fine with this database, and I've checked PartyGUI.ini to check it
was using the correct file. If I change the INI file to point to sample.mdb
it starts up fine.
Some history on my set-up: I have two Sony CDP-CX240s. I just upgrade CDJ to
0330a version including installing sysupdate and ADO2.1. CDJ would not
convert my text-based database to .mdb format properly, so I moved that file
and let CDJ re-build the entire thing in the database format. That took
three days because I kept exceeding CDDB limits on the number of lookups per
day! Then I ran CDJCovers1 to download the images, and I did some manual
image downloads for some disks I knew were there but that CDJCovers1 screwed
up on (I'll send those comments separately). Then when I try to run
PartyGUI I get this error message. I don't have Access on my PC (I hated it
when I tried it 5 years ago, is it any better today? I'm an old dBase II
.dbf hack I found that much more intuitive even if it was linear!)
Thanks for any hints.

Subject: [slinkelist] How do I get Slinke to echo IR to the remote-IR box
Folks,
I've now put my two CDP-CX240s into a cabinet with a wooden door with the
Slinke unit on top, quite discreetly. I'd like to use the IR echo function,
as I believe this works even without a PC, so I plugged the RJ-11 cable into
the Slinke and placed the small phone-jack-box-IR unit that came with the
Slinke inside the cabinet door. However I don't seem to get any
transmission out of that unit. It's not to do with position, because I've
tried holding the box three feet away with the door open using the Sony
remote near the Slinke so that there was no direct IR signal into the
cabinet.
When I run CDJ I can see that it is receiving Sony IR signals, but I don't
have CDJ programmed to do anything with them.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

Are you using the latest version? This error was
related to the new database format for CDJ. I have
converted PartyGUI to ADO, and now it works great.
Get it at www.geocities.com/nurse_alexander. BTW I
maded some really cool changes this weekend, fixed the
behavior of the play button, addded a pause button,
and added a tabbed control interface basically in the
INI file you tell it how many tabs, and size and
position of 3 control types (button, memory state
button, or slider) map them to macro commands, and
viola gui automation for anything (I am using it to
control reciever/amp and lights) Now for the bad
news, I was futzing around with my computer in the
wall, and blew the mother board, in an attempt to test
it I blew my processor from my main system (dork)
Test and upload of the changes will have to occur
after I figure out how to afford a new processor.
Anybody got a spare <grin>...

Subject: [slinkelist] Working with databases
Hi all,
I have been playing with a faster way to create playlists using MS Access and
user.mdb from CDJ and I have a few questions. First, I am new to using MS
Access and VBA (but not new to computers or programming) so please forgive me if
I ask easy to answer questions.
1) I just read in a post that there is a new DB format. I have not upgraded to
the latest version, I think I am using 2.7 ( It is at home and I am at work so I
can't look at the moment ). My question is, doing all this work in MS Access,
will I be able to bring in the new database format and record data? I am only
using a couple of the fields to do the work, CDJID, Artist, Album name, Track
name, and track #.
2) In a related question, I have brought the DB to work to do this. Now I have
added new CD's at home, how do I add or import them or replace the DB with the
most recent data?
3) I am exporting from MS Access to a plain text file for the playlist. I need
to add "CDJ Playlist" to the top of the file and I have to decrement all the
track numbers by 1 (Colby, why is this the case when everywhere else we look, we
see the actual track numbers). Below is the VBA code I wrote to accomplish
this. My output file is garbage. Any idea why?
*** Begin code ***
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Type Record ' Define user-defined type.
Album As String * 9
Track As Integer
End Type
Private Sub Command10_Click()
Dim FileName, Header As String
Dim MyRecord As Record ' Declare variables.
Header = "CDJ Playlist"
Open "c:\download\playlist.pla" For Random As #1
Open "c:\download\fileout.pla" For Random As #2
Put #2, , Header
Do While Not EOF(1)
' Read the file using the Get statement.
Get #1, , MyRecord ' Read the record.
MyRecord.Track = MyRecord.Track - 1
Put #2, , MyRecord
Loop
Close #1
Close #2
Exit Sub
End Sub
*** End code ***
4) How can I prompt the user for the full path and filename of where to save
the finished playlist? I tried InputBox, but it gave me an error and I would
really prefer to use the standard Windows "SaveAs" dialog boxes.
5) How do I give my finished project to other people? It is run within MS
Access and contains a query and reports and the VBA code. I would love to
upload it to the Nirvis site once it is finished.
Thanks so much for your time and help.

Subject: [slinkelist] How do I get Slinke to echo IR to the remote-IR box
I'm no expert, but I think you have to configure Slink-e to echo by setting
the firmware. I've done it via the PC; I don't know how to do so otherwise.
From the help file:
Setting up the IR ports to echo commands into other rooms
The Slink-e has a handy feature which allows you to "echo" the commands
picked up by the receiver module in one room to the transmitter modules in
other locations. The Slink-e is very flexible in terms of which receivers
get echoed to which transmitters, and you must set up the Slink-e to specify
these settings. Using SLINKSERV.EXE, go to the View->Slink-es->Settings
dialog. In this dialog there is a cross-point matrix of blue lines which
specify which receiver inputs (on the left) go to which transmitter outputs
(on the top). By clicking on any of the line intersections you can turn "on"
(a red dot) or "off" (no red dot) the connection between a given receiver
and transmitter. Each receiver can go to any / all of the 8 transmitters.
For each receiver you must also specify the carrier frequency of the remotes
you are using, since the receiver module does not pass this information on
to the Slink-e. The choose a default of 40000Hz if you are not sure.

The new version of CDJ will convert your existing mdb database to the new
format. The only changes to the database format is a couple of added
columns, nothing more. You might still want to double check your code to
make sure you still get the right result.
In regards to your second issue of getting your mdb at work with the added
queries, modules, and tables into the mdb file that you have at home with
the new data, Access has this wonderful feature of importing and exporting
any part of the Access database. After you get the new version of CDJ
installed (make sure you make backups of your existing mdb file) and it has
converted your existing database to the new format, open the new mdb file
and import the queries, VBA modules, and any other tables you have created
in the mdb file from work.

4) How can I prompt the user for the full path and filename of where to
save
the finished playlist? I tried InputBox, but it gave me an error and I
would
really prefer to use the standard Windows "SaveAs" dialog boxes.
5) How do I give my finished project to other people? It is run within MS
Access and contains a query and reports and the VBA code. I would love to
upload it to the Nirvis site once it is finished.
Thanks so much for your time and help.

Subject: [slinkelist] Max length and best wiring scheme for CAT-5 RS232 link to SLink-e?
I have a run of about 60-70 feet of CAT-5 with RJ-45(?) sockets at each end.
This was once used for conection of a remote PC to a HUB.
I want to use this "run of copper" for RS232 to the Slink-e (which happens
to be sitting a convienient distance from the remote RJ-45 jack).
I figure the length is OK, but am wondering what the best wiring scheme to
use is. Should I use a twisted pair each for ground+rxd and ground+txd?
Should I use a twisted pair for rxd+txd? Should I tie all unused pins to
ground?
I figure I'll make a couple small adapter cables that have RJ-45 on one end
and a male DB9 on the other.
any thoughts?

YMMV, but I don't think it matters. What I did was just run all 8
wires straight through. I did it two different ways because I screwed
up the first time (fortunately I bought 5 pairs of connectors). I
forget which pin I left empty (maybe it was 9?), but it sounds like
you can figure that out.
Hope this helps.

Is there anyway to make a working copy of a key disk for a game that uses a
cdrom? I have tried every copy program I know and can't seem to do it. The
key disk is a 3 1/2 " floppy that copies to the last track and then quits.
Can not use once protection is moved so really would like a 2nd copy for my
personal backup

I have trouble keeping track of who asked...
PartyGUI now plays MP3 Albums (SQL change)
play button behavior improved

macro capability improved
Really now I will try and look at speed. I was loaned
a P100 processor chip for my dev system (see previous
post ouch!) and performance really bites a weenie.
Sorry...
Full blown screen user screen layout creation (ie to

unstable, it will have to wait until I get a free

Subject: [slinkelist] How do I get Slinke to echo IR to the remote-IR
box
Thanks for the replies from Colby, Peter and Ron.
I ran SlinkeServ and tried echoing port 0 to port 7 and various combinations
of port configurations and wrote them to RAM and EEPROM each time but at no
time could I seem to get it to work.
I'm using the remote that came with my CDP-CX240 and can see the Sony
commands received when I run CDJ, so I know the port 0 receiver is working
on the Slinke box. How is that remote IR box wired, please? I could pry it
open and check the wiring.
Any more ideas?

Do you have an expansion adapter? If not, you're probably not connecting
your transmitter to IRTX7. If you're plugging it into the built in modular
jack, that's IRTX0. So, you want to echo IRRX0 to IRTX0, not IRRX0 to
IRTX7....

Here's an answer from my still-unpublished FAQ:
Q3: Can anyone suggest a mixer?
See http://nirvis.com/mixers.htm -- If you've got money and or lots
of digital inputs, check out Nirvis's DXS. It's expensive, but
apparently cheaper than anything competing.
GBR gregroberts.com me@gregroberts.com:
I use an "Optimus Stereo Sound Mixer SSM-1250" from Radio Shack. $120
USD. 4 line stereo inputs (RCA jack), 3 mixable at once (one channel
is a switch between 3 and 4), VU meters. You have to adjust volumes
manually with sliders, but after one time setup over a year ago, I
have let mine sit in the closet (behind the gear), and has worked
perfectly without a hiccup. Although I'm sure this wouldn't suffice
for an audiophile, I find no noticable noise or distortion added to
the signal, and this is in an acoustically above average room.
Gary L. Hunt glh@srv.net:
I bought a Rolls MX-28 3-channel mixer from Synthony Music
(www.synthony.com) for $80. You'll have to be your own judge
if the specs are good enough for you, but it works fine for me--
just plugged in my 3 changers and turned it on. (Even though
it's from a company that makes mostly pro audio equipment,
its inputs and outputs are unbalanced. I don't think the previous
posting was really referring to "balanced line" signals, since
consumer audio equipment does not support these, and the
signal levels used in such systems are not the same as consumer
audio gear.)
Jay Pfaffman <pfaffman@relax.com>:
I built a passive mixer using the circuit on the Nirvis web site.
I managed to find a board with 3 pairs of RCA jacks (I built a
two-input mixer). I didn't even solder anything, though I did
have to wrap it very well to make the connections reliable. It
works well enough. It's ugly, but mounted inside a closet, so I
don't care. Sometimes I wish I had a mixer, but I'm at a loss to
explain why.

Subject: [slinkelist] nascent slinkelist FAQ
Q0: What is this?
I've composed a FAQ of some questions that come up on the
Slinkelist. The Nirvis FAQs are (rightly) directed primarily to
pre-purchase questions. Here are a few recurring questions that
I've noticed. In a few cases I've attributed answers to folks;
I've done so without asking since the info is in the slinkelist
archive on the web, but if you'd not like your name mentioned here,
I'll remove it from future postings. No one has asked me to do
this, but I asked David <aue@nirvis.com> and he said he wouldn't
mind. I'm just a satisfied customer who's avoiding writing a
Ph.D. proposal.
Comments, fixes, new questions, etc are welcome, though hopefully
I'll actually start writing a proposal soon. :-)
I appropriate, I'll post this on a web site and/or re-post it here
periodically.
Q1: How do I make my amp change inputs automatically?
Michael Holopainen <michael@laserle.fi>
1. In Options - Devices - Add : name it i.e.. MyAmp or whatever and
for device file -> ...Nirvis(slinke-program)-directory and somewhere
in it's sub directory is Device Files directory and it's sub directory
Sony and there ampsls.cde-file
...Nirvis\Device Files\Sony\ampsls.cde
( ampir.cde = AMP IR CODE
ampslr.cde = AMP S-Link Receive Code
ampsls.cde = AMP S-Link Send Code )
2. Now you have device in cdj called MyAmp (or something)
3. To control that device you need to edit ...Nirvis\CDJ\maps.txt
(it's good idea to move that file to another location AND tell cdj
it's new location in options-maps so you don't overwrite it when
upgrading cdj) you need to edit the file with notepad or some other
writing tool because cdj BETA does not yet allow you to edit the file
in cdj (you can view it). maps.txt works like:
cdrj:EVENT[EventDetail] {
ACTION[ActionDetail];
2ndAction;
3rd...;
}
ie. you press mute on your amp, that is an event, you can write
code(actions) that is performed when cdj detects that event.
(everything from sony-slink-devices is send to s-link, you can ask you
amp "What is your current volume setting" and it will reply)
ie. cdjr:using_player[CD1] {myamp:input[020200]} means that when event
= CD1 starts playing something cdj performs action = of sending
command "input[002200]" to device myamp. CD1 is identified in
Players, (device named)mp3 is integral player of cdj, in addition to
player you can create additional devices in Device Files and point to
then with given name. read the map.txt and ...Sony\ampsls.cde file
and figure out the syntax also ampsls.cde-file contains the input
source codes ie. VCR21100 finally the answer :
edit in maps.txt-file the following row :
cdjr:using_player[mp3] {}
to
cdjr:using_player[mp3] {myamp:input[######]}
myamp is the name you have given to your amp described in
Options-AddDevice-menu.
input[#####] is the command send to myamp (converted to binary code
according to Sony/ampsls.cde) = tells sony amp to switch audio source to
the proper input
HOW TO... ? Make cdj switch audio inputs in AMPs to current player
Q2: How to control speakers?
http://www.smarthome.com/8152.html
Xantech make a nice module for this but it's (gulp) $400 retail.
http://www.xantech.com/products/c_folder/pg20.pdf
Jay Pfaffman <pfaffman@relax.com>:
My solution has been to buy more amps. Those multi-speaker
switchers are usually more expensive than amps & don't allow you to
control the volume of different rooms independently.

of digital inputs, check out Nirvis's DXS. It's expensive, but

Q4: Should I upgrade my slinke to 2.3?
I have no idea, but would like to know myself.
Q5: Which Changer should I get?
Colby says:
If you can get the CX300 and CX220 for the same price, I'd choose the CX300.
1. Same size
2. Higher capacity
3. *Seems* a little quieter
4. The daisy chaining appears to acutally work - that is you can feed audio
from another changer through it w/o problems
Older master controller changers such as the CX270 and CX90ES definitely did
cause problems and we didn't recommend them for new purchases. The CX300 and
CX350 seem to be much more well behaved in this respect, and so I wouldn't
hesitate to use them (and in fact I do personally use them).
Q6: Why can't I upload track titles?
Jay Pfaffman <pfaffman@relax.com>:
Your changer probably doesn't support it. Only the CX240 (is that
right? I really don't know) supports track titling Sony seems to
think it's unimportant as more recent models don't do that.
Q7: Where is a good place to buy Sony changers and what should they cost?
See http://nirvis.com/buysony.htm
Jay Pfaffman <pfaffman@relax.com>:
I bought my last one from http://www.cameraworld.com/ for $249, but it
doesn't look like they're selling them any more, but they could still
be worth a look. http://www.jandr.com/ has them listed, but you have
to call for a price. It seems that Sony won't let retailers list
prices below a certain point. I've seen demo units for as low as
$225. The Sony outlet centers could be a good source if there is one
close to you.
Q7: Where can I get TOSlink cables for a reasonable price?
Jay Pfaffman <pfaffman@relax.com>:
I don't know. I think I've seen a message saying that you can find
them for < US$10 each (I've seen them in stores for $40), but I don't
know where that was now. If you've got a source, please let me
know & I'll include it.
Q8: CDDB lookups return "CDDB Server Error. Request limit exceeded on
all available servers." What gives?
Jay Pfaffman <pfaffman@relax.com>: CDDB limits how many lookups you
can do in a 24 hour period to keep people from harvesting their
database. They pretty much have the market cornered and they
don't want to give that up. Try again tomorrow. If your ISP has
a proxy server you might reconfigure CDJ to use it to get another
200 today.
Historical note: When CDDB was bought by Escient and started
putting restrictions (must put CDDB icon up when doing lookups?)
on its use, there was an outcry by some claiming that it was
unfair for CDDB to put these restrictions on stuff which they
didn't create in the first place. http://www.freedb.org/ is a
free CDDB clone. You can point CDJ to freedb.freedb.org to use
it. It currently has about 143,000 entries; CDDB has > 500,000
entries.
Q9: What kind of sound card should I buy with digital inputs and such?
Colby says:
I really recommend the REM Digi96 above all other cards. It's the only card
I know which allows asynchronous full duplex at 96kHz with access to the
full 32 bit data packet. It's also bus mastering PCI and you can use more
than one card (they make 24 channel versions as well).
http://www.rme-audio.com/english/index.htm
Michael Davis <mk_davis@swbell.net> suggests buying them from
http://www.sfb.net/

Subject: [slinkelist] How do I get Slinke to echo IR to the remote-IR box
If it still isn't working, make sure you are using an RJ-11 cable that is
wired straight through, NOT flipped like most telephone cables. I ended up
just rewiring my IR transmitter module so I could use any of the flipped
RJ-11 cables I had on hand.

Subject: [slinkelist] nascent slinkelist FAQ
Colby,
Jay's FAQ (Q4 Should I upgrade my slinke to 2.3?) was a question I was
asking myself today when I was noticing the CPU upgrades on the web site. I
couldn't find any comments/documentation on what the changes are in this
release.
Is this something worth considering?
Thanks,
Ken
P.S. Jay, thanks for the useful compilation, too.

Subject: [slinkelist] MP3 problem
Here's my setup:
Computer/CDJ/slinke controlling a Sony CDP-CX255
Computer is plugged into the back of the CDP-CX255 audio in
The problem:
If I make the playlist the following:
(1) Song off a cd on CDP-CX255
(2) An MP3
(3) Song off a cd on CDP-CX255
Song (1) plays, there is a pause, then song (3) plays.
Here's what happens:
Song (1) plays, CDJ starts playing song (2) from the MP3.
CDJ moves the CDP-CX255 to (3) and pauses it.
Because the CDP-CS255 is paused, it doesn't let the audio in go through.
CDJ happily plays song (2) oblivious that it isn't being heard.
CDJ plays song (3) when song (2) ends.
If you hit stop on the CDP-CS255 during the pause when song (2) is being
played, you can suddenly hear song (2).
Anyone got any comments/ideas? (I'd really like to get this working tonight ;)

Subject: [slinkelist] Times Played criterion? And Slink-e data window
Does anyone know what criterion is used by CDJ in filling out the "times
played" field? Sometimes a track is only played for 10 seconds and it is
marked as played, while other times a track can be played in its entirety
several times and "times played" is still 0. Is this a known problem?
On a different issue: how does the Slink-e data window in CDJ work? That
is, If I type a device command like "remote:3", does it decode this
symbolically, using my
maps files, and then have CDJ do whatever is contained therein, or does it
look up the IR value for remote:3, and them transmit it? I don't have the
IR
xmitter hooked up right now, and want to know if that is why I am not
getting any response when I type "remote:3" to the Slink-e data window. The
funny thing is that I get results when I type "cdj:plalist_play" etc.

Subject: [slinkelist] slink-e remote via LAN?
I need some help getting Slink-E/CDJ/SlinkeServ running over a LAN.
Here's my situation:
My home LAN is comprised of an NT server and 2 Win98 client machines,
all running over fast Ethernet. The NT server is in the closet with the
CD players, and has the Slink-E attached to it (which is in turn
attached to 3 Sony changers). Now, I want to remotely run CDJ on either
of the clients and talk to the server which in turn should control the
CD players. I have no problem controlling the CD players from direct
console control on the NT box, but I want to be able to do this from any
point on the LAN... I thought this was the whole point of SlinkeServ?
Please advise as to the best way to do this.
PS - the LAN is working fine. I swap files, share printers, etc... I
just can't get remote CDJ to talk to server Slinke-serv.
Any and all help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Subject: [slinkelist] number of times played and date added fields
I've got a better idea of these two problems.
For the first, I've noticed that the problem occurs when I am playing a
playlist that alternates between my two CX350s. Tracks played by player 2
are OK, but tracks played by player one do not get the "nt" field
incremented. Bizarre.
(I should also point out that CDSaver also treats these players differently.
When a track is playing on player 1, the "next track" info at the bottom is
correct, and when the track change comes, the new information is displayed
instantly. But when a track is playing on player 2, the "next track" info
is for the track currently playing, and when the next track comes (during
the overlapping phase), the screen goes blank except for current track time,
and only after a few seconds is the correct information displayed. Perhaps
this problem is related to the "nt" problem?)
As far as the date added field not being completed, I have determined that
it is only occuring for my CD-Text discs (of which I have well over a
hundred). Could this be fixed please?
Thanks,
Ron

Make sure that it really is a mono to mono cable and NOT a low impedance

an open.

I've been writing little bits of software to frob my Sony jukebox (from
Scheme). I looked in Nirvis/Device Files/Sony/cdslr.cde for the control codes.
It defines this msg to play a specific disk/track:
01010000 dddddddd tttttttt :play_dt # play [disk id] [bcd track]
I have used this successfully, via my Slink-e box, to play cds. However,
the encoding for the dddddddd disk byte of the message is not specified.
I tried BCD and it worked. But this means that you can't play a track higher
than 99!
So, how do I address CD's above slot 99?
I haven't really found any functional jukebox software for Unix; really
a drag. I've found several under-development systems. Has anyone had any
luck?

The schema hasn't changed at all. I haven't figured it out yet, but I think
it might have something to do with the database compaction. Because this is
done with Jet 4.00, I think the database version ends up somewhere between
Access97 and Access2000. I say this because if you try to open it in
Access2000, it still thinks it's an older version, yet people are reporting
that it can't be opened in Access97.

The schema hasn't changed at all. I haven't figured it out yet, but I think
it might have something to do with the database compaction. Because this is
done with Jet 4.00, I think the database version ends up somewhere between
Access97 and Access2000. I say this because if you try to open it in
Access2000, it still thinks it's an older version, yet people are reporting
that it can't be opened in Access97.

Subject: [slinkelist] access can't open new .mdb
I'm a little confused now. My impression from the MSDN docs (see below) is
that if I *don't* specify what jet version to write out using the "Jet
OLEDB:Engine Type=" setting in the compaction process, I should end up with
the same version I started with. Does anyone know why this isn't working?
(from the docs)
Jet OLEDB:Engine Type Indicates the version of the source database to open
or the version of the new database to be created. The OLE DB engine types
that you can use are:
1 for JET Version 1.0
2 for JET Version 1.1
3 for JET Version 2.x
4 for JET Version 3.x
5 for JET Version 4.x
If this is omitted for the destination database, it will be the same version
as for the source database. The value for the destination database cannot be
a version prior to that of the source database.

The Slink-e controls my STR-DE805G just fine. I wrote my own software
to essentially relay commands from an IR universal remote, but it
also tracks the state of the receiver and lets me switch inputs
while flipping the TV automatically between tuner and line in.
The S-link codes for the receiver I found on Nirvis' site. I don't
know how they got them, but they work.
The only thing that impressed me with this receiver was that it
actually sent out status updates when you use the front panel
buttons, so you can actually accurately track state changes.

Hello all,
I checked the FAQ (thanks Jay) and looked into past list mailings - I
apologize if this has already been covered...
Since I upgraded to the latest CDJ, the Group Name field is not settable.
Also, the group names I had set previously are all messed up (when did
"Aerosmith" put out a "Country" album?).
Anyone seeing the same?

The way I understand it is that if omitted it will use OLEDB Jet version 5,
Meaning upgrade the database to JET 4.X
So you'd probably want to set it to OLEDB Version 4 to keep it at JET 3.X
Microsoft made this very confusing indeed.... I'll take this offline with
you...

Here's the VB code I use, which translates the disk number to and from the

Yes, we recommend having the Slink-e closer to the equipment. RS-232 travels
better over long distances and the slink-e may have many connections to
equipment whereas there is only one cable you need to run from your PC to
Slink-e.

On the long save time I'd like to add that this was partially answered
before (by Colby).
The first save takes long(er) after you updated to the new CDJ, because the
CDJID changed and therefore the whole database has to be saved, not just the
changes.
The compact takes long(er) for the same reason (needs to save the whole
Database and compact, which same as Access).
Normally you'd only have to save the changes which is very quick...
To do this choose "File" and than "Save Library".
If you save the library via the menu "Library", "Save All" the whole
database will be written to disk, which lakes long(er)

We do keep track of everyone's help e-mail. Some certainly doesn't get
answered as quickly as I would like. If I see someone asking a question that
I can answer right away, I do so. When someone describes a complex bug
involving using brand X remote to control a TV from another room while CDJ
is searching for discs, it's not something I can answer right away because I
don't know what the answer is. I'd rather post a response when I've actually
solved something or have more questions than one which says "I have read
your help question and am working on it". I was put off a bit in one of your
mails because there were 12 different questions to answer, not all of which
I had answers on hand for. I'd suggest sending seperate mails for different
problems you having because you will get quicker answers and it will be
easier for us to track our status of answering them. We read every help
message. I've got about 3100 in my help@nirvis.com box right now, all read.
About 30 still need answers. It is true that we don't monitor the list and
bbs as carefully - only if we manually transfer messages from them to our
help box will they be guaranteed to be answered.

Goerge,
Thanks for your email.
You said:

>that I'm sure Colby and David are working on. I'm sure you would've
>gathered that from some of the other postings here."
No, sorry, I didn't know. But this is just the kind of email it would have
been nice to receive, assuming it is true that they do know of the errors.
>"Regarding CDCover and MUZE, I believe someone has responded to you
already."
Yes, that wasn't in the message I sent on April 7th, and it isn't a Nirvis
issue, so I wasn't expecting a Nirvis reponse on that one.
"Regarding long save and compact time, from the lack of response, It would
believe that you might be the only person experiencing that problem. It
would be greatly helpful for all of us to help you if you would at least
specify the machine that you're running CDJ on."
I don't think that's relevant, but it is a 333MHz Cyrix running Win98, with
a 10GB HD and 128 MB SDRam.
>And maybe even sent Colby
>or David a copy of your .mdb file.
I think that would be a bit presumptuous if they haven't asked me to do so!
>Otherwise, it would be very difficult
>for any of us to help you solve this problem.
No, you have already helped by saying these things, and letting me know that
others are not having the problem. It appears now that saving is not taking
longer, just compacting. Or rather, compacting is happening (has happened
once) without me asking for it. I have never used it before, so maybe it
has always taken 5 mins to compact a 700+ entry db.
Again, thanks for responding, George.

this is not a Y2K bug. it is sorting based on the text you see. the list

this is how CDDB V1 works. When CDJ encounters more than one slash, it tries

i agree. we want to work on maybe having a form of playlist file which just
contains search information and maybe a random play command. basically it
would be a form of a script really.

no. somethings screwed up here. i'm trying to figure it out. ironically, if

Sonnie/Jeroen,
Thanks for your replies to my messages.
You said:
>On the long save time I'd like to add that this was partially answered
>before (by Colby).
I guess one of the problems in general is figuring out whether my question
has already been dealt with or not. This is made more difficult by the fact
that the list archives are not easily searchable. I went to the headers
page for Jan, Feb, Mar and Apr and searched each for "compact" and got a nil
result.

Yes, I noted that I was aware of this in my message.
>The compact takes long(er) for the same reason (needs to save the whole
>Database and compact, which same as Access).
In the reply I just sent to George, I explained that I had never used
"compact" before, but soon after installing the latest CDJ (perhaps second
time running it) it happened on its own, which is what made me worried. It
hasn't happened again, so it may be a non-rpoblem now (except for those who
will install it later).
>Normally you'd only have to save the changes which is very quick...
>To do this choose "File" and than "Save Library".

I never save my library manually: I have it saved every 10 mins and on exit
automatically. Everything is fine there -- it was only the surprise, long
compact which threw me.
Thanks for taking the time to reply,
Ron

Well,
Guess I should have explained the situation better.
Yes, I have indeed used the catV serial. But decided to move all the CD
players and DXS unit to my head room. So everything is all together in one
space EXCEPT my MD player. This I wanted to keep in the Media room for local
play AND to use MD Manager to record MDs from CDJ playlists. I use a remote
laptop (ethernet) to control the main CPU that runs slinke serv and CDJ.
THUS the need for ONE long Slink cable (Approx 50')

Martin,
I use two programs to do what you are talking about: The first is to
capture the audio onto my HD, normalise it, reduce noise, and split into
tracks by saving as different wav files; the second is to write the CD
itself (and print out inserts).
For the first, I use the excellent Cool Edit Pro. There is a free version,
Cool Edit 96, which will do everything you need.
For the second, I used to use Adaptec's EZCD creator, but had problems when
extracting wav files from existing CDs -- if the tracks segued, then some
music would be missing (maybe this is fixed now, or is not a problem in
their deluxe version). So I switched to Ahead's Nero. The advantage of
Nero is that you can write CD-Text info to the disc (which CDJ recognises,
which is good since your own CDRs will probably not be picked up by CDDB).
There is a free working demo at www.ahead.de.
Ron.

Hi again,
I think the problem with saving/compacting is worse than I thought. As I
now type, CDJ is taking several minutes to save, not compact, my db (it is
doing it automatically -- I didn't issue a save command). It doesn't take
this long all the time, just every now and then. Perhaps it only happens
when a new CD is added? Anyway, is this what other people are experiencing,
or is it just me?
Cheers,

Subject: [slinkelist] RE: save/compact
The compact should only happen after 100 record changes have been written
during one CDJ session. I happens right after the save and has its own
progress dialog. Adding a single CD should take very little time to save.
Only if many records have changed should a save take a long time. This
happens when:
1) Converting the DB to the new CDJID format (all records have to be
changed)
2) You have a very long / nonexistent autosave interval and you have played
a lot of music. (many records have changed)
I'll keep an eye out for a problem, but I haven't seen any long saves here,
aside from my initial conversion save. If anyone else is seeing this
problem, please let me know....

"The advantage of Nero is that you can write CD-Text info to the disc (which
CDJ recognises,
which is good since your own CDRs will probably not be picked up by CDDB)."
The latest version of Adaptec's EZCD creator also has the ability to write
CD-Text. I have produced a few myself with EZCD.

as it is, CDJ won't let you turn off changers, it will turn them back on
again.

The product identified below will switch between four digital inputs
automatically, based on the presence of an optical signal, or based on
priority if there is more than one optical signal present.
http://www.hometheaterworld.com/hometheaterworld/audautmod11d.html
You can use this to switch digital out of CD changers hooked to CDJ, as
long as you can tolerate (1) no pre-queuing of discs, (2) turning changers
on and off as tracks alternate between players, and (3) no polling of idle
players.
For this cheaper Toslink switch to work, CDJ must turn off all higher
priority changers when playing from a given changer, so that the digital
signal from the lowest priority changer is passed through the device. This
can be done by setting up a CDJ map to turn off any higher priority changers
(with cdxxx:power_off events) when there is a "using_player" event directed
to a changer. The CDJ map must also respond to a using_player event for all
but the lowest priority changer, by turning on the changer when there is a
"using_player" event directed to that changer. You also have to turn off
the CDJ option for pre-queuing discs, and turn off the CDJ option for
polling the status of idle changers (so they don't get turned back on).
Hope somebody has interest in this option.

Subject: [slinkelist] CD Mastering
Try "Nero - Burning ROM" it's miles ahead of the infamous Adaptec
SleazyCD
With nero you can even drag & drop mp3 files to the image and burn the
cd as normal audio CD Nero decodes mp3 to wav on the fly. (just handy
additional property) there is a lot more features that I haven't yet
explored (I think it has CDDB connection), and it simply the BEST cd-rom
software I have ever seen : with win98 I burned image from network drive
to my local cd-Writer while running 2 other programs and working
remotely (VNC) on other computer, AND WITHOUT adjusting/disabling swap
size. I haven you got a single failed cd burn (well one but that was on
purpose I was testing the limimits of my drive/Nero/PC = transferring a
700Mb file over network ripping audio CD (with mp3 encoding) on other
cd-drive, running 2 other programs and burning ROM from network drive =
it choke after few minutes)
Another good (not great, but good) is Xing audiocatalyst cd to mp3
ripper. That is not exactly what you want but I thought that is was
worth of mentioning. I also have done thousands of hours "audio in ->
wav -> mp3" unfortunately I haven't yet found my dream software that
captures the audio in directly to mp3 without going through wav and with
high sound quality Xing MP3Live! is good for that but it do cost
equvalent of hardware mp3 encoder, I think I was last person on earth to
download the mp3live! beta version (limited to 64kb/s, 22Hz or
516kbs-90Hz) from xingtech homepage.
For audio in -> wav I use Creative Labs WaveStudio (that came with
SBLive!) and I'm not too happy about that program.
DOES ANYONE KNOW a good audio in to mp3 program that allows handling
(editing) of incoming audio stream in mp3 format ??
Also I like to open discussion of methods of automating the cd to mp3
ripping using using CDJ. CDJ is amazing software slinke is equally great
and Sony CDP-CX### are good, but there is something to be said of having
500 CD's worth of music (inluding covers & title names) on size on
cigaret pack (30Gb HD) for a half of the price of one CDP-CX### player.
or 100 cd's on one DVDRAM-Disk (300-400 in future).
In a beginning I preferred CD's over the trublesome Vinyls now that I
have transferred some 300 of my vinyls to mp3 I noticed that cd's are so
clumsy and slow to use (even in CDP-CX's) that I rather play mp3's
NOTE !!!
"The thousands of hour of mp3" means convertig my ORIGINAL vinyl media
to mp3 format FOR MY OWN USE.
I'm all for the "If you like the band support them by BUYING their
album, so they can affort to make another"

Subject: [slinkelist] For 5th time BUG REPORT, Colby please reply !!!!
I know you are buzy, but please, please reply to this, if nothing else
just "x" or any indication that you have received this. I will not
bother you with this NEVER again once you indicate that you have
received my message.
I reported the image window bug some 3 or 4 versions ago and do not
recall receiving any reply and in 110400 version of the BUG still exsist
:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Adjusting the image window the image starts flashing and the whole CDJ
hangs up totally = needs to be killed with ctr+alt+del.
---------------------------------------------------------------
To Reproduce the bug :
1. I doubleclick on image window to bring it to top in it's own window
(in VB I think it is called MDI child window or somthing)
2. then 1. adjust width of the window excatly to the size of the image =
so on white backfround is visible and no horisontal scrollbar.
3. now do the same to height of the window, go back and forth the
treshold when scrollbar (s) disapper and reapper and you should be able
to reproduce the BUG.
P.S. Use a dark picture so the image window white background is visible
and try to adjust the window to excatly to the size of the picture so
that the scrollbars disappear and no background is visible.
It seem like it get hang up in infinite loop of displaying/hiding the
scrollbars and rezizing the image.
I have windows98, cel 433, Diamond Viper550 w/ tv out and resolution 800
x 600, 32bit colors
the image is .jpg of 480 x 480 pixels, in CDJ: "Stretch Image" is off,
"Maintain original aspect ratio" is on.
Suggestions for CDJ:
1. "Maximize" button to image window that stretches the window to fit
the image (or full screen if image bigger than cdj/screen)
2. Continious_library_play option = When playing track/album from
library (not playlist) it autimaticly plays the next track in library
regerdless wether it is mp3 or cd (like the cd player does)
3. Read_only mode to CDJ there drag & drop and editing of Tracks/Almums
is disabled and doubleclick = "Play NOW" (for Party mode)
4. Keyboard& mouse event and window actions (Focus, resize, show, hide)
for MAPping
P.S. It is not important wether you think those suggestion are any good
or nobody else has that image resize problem and it is not CDJ bug but
os/hardware, but just indicate that you have received this information,
please.

BTW the macros have several cool uses I have started

Stored search sets (someone was asking about this on

Oke Doke
I got lucky and got an easily hackable I-Opener.
I have installed a harddrive and downgraded it to
windows 98. I added a cordless keyboard (had it but
25 bucks) and a Dlink USB Network adapter (30 bucks)
Total cost:
Iopener 99
Hardrive 50 (free for me I had 5 pulls and funded
the whole project)
Cables 15 (made my own)
USB NIC 30
This was free for me, but really a $200 PC.
Once the NIC card is in place the rest is easy. I am
currently running everything on the iopener, but am
moving towards server in the closet and iopener as the
control box (two choices: VNC (easy/slow) DCOM (hard
98 peer to peer/fast)
My wife even thinks its groovy, she allows this thing
to be on the table in the living room (yeah!) It is
set to suspend, so she gets instant on, email at the
couch, full CD control, and Macro control of the
lights / TV/etc (very star trek) Now it just needs
the touchscreen. This was why I was adding the tab
control to define quick button interfaces for
everything.
Not a detailed explanation but thats a start.

For a hardware solution to ripping to MP3, take a look at the I-MIX from
Sima Corporation, available in July (web site is http://www.simacorp.com).
This unit has TOSLINK inputs and outputs, so if you have a receiver with
optical out, you can get a recording of a CD (or other digital media)
without ever leaving the digital domain. The DXS from Nirvis might also play
nice in this scenario if you do not have an optical out on your receiver.
The unit also has a USB port for interface to a computer or a portable MP3
player.

Also I like to open discussion of methods of automating the cd to mp3
ripping using using CDJ. CDJ is amazing software slinke is equally great
and Sony CDP-CX### are good, but there is something to be said of having
500 CD's worth of music (inluding covers & title names) on size on
cigaret pack (30Gb HD) for a half of the price of one CDP-CX### player.
or 100 cd's on one DVDRAM-Disk (300-400 in future).

Just to throw my $.02, I find Nero to be the best all around burner that
I've tried. Since I've started using it, I've only produced 1 coaster in
about 300 burns. Also, there are very few recorders that will write CD-Text.
Plextor and SONY are two that I'm aware of. HP's and SAF will not.

I've done some research on this and I highly suggest going with the Plextor
12x model ($399). It supports cd-text and can burn a full cd in about 4-5
mins. According to Adaptec's page they only support cd-text on one cdr (I
think a sony).

The following is a partial text copy of Golden Hawk's FAQ web page
http://goldenhawk.com (NOTE the first part pertains to CD+G disc while the
last part pertains to CD-Text):
What CDROM devices support CD+G (Karaoke) discs?
To backup CD+G discs, you must have one of the following recorders...
Hewlett Packard 7500 / 8100 / 8200 / 9100 / 9200
Panasonic CW-7501
Plasmon CDR4240
Plextor PX-R412C (must have firmware version 1.07)
Plextor PX-R820T / PX-W4220T / PX-W8220T)
Sony CRX100E / CRX110E / CRX120E / CRX140E / CRX140S
Yamaha All Models
All of the above recorders (except the Yamaha CDR100/CDR102, CW-7501, and
CDR4240) are capable of both reading and writing CD+G discs. If you do not
have a model that can read CD+G, then you will have to purchase a separate
CDROM drive that has this capability.
The following CDROM drives are supported for reading CD+G discs...
Plextor 4Plex Plus
Plextor 8Plex (not recommended)
Plextor 12Plex
Plextor 12/20Plex
Plextor 14/32Plex
Sony 76S (not recommended)
Sony 415 (only works well at 1x reading speed)
What CDROM recorders support CD-TEXT discs?
The following recorders are supported for writing CD-TEXT discs...
Hewlett Packard 7500 / 8100 / 8200 / M820e / 9100 / 9200
Plextor 4220T (requires firmware 1.02 or higher)
Plextor 8220T
Ricoh 7040 (requires firmware 1.20 or higher)
Ricoh 7060 / 7080 / 8040 / 9060
Sony CRX100E / CRX110E / CRX120E / CRX140E / CRX140S
Teac CD-R56S / CD-R58S (requires firmware 1.0J or higher)

Go to http://download.cnet.com/downloads and select WindowsCE. Then do a

OmniRemote by http://www.pacificneotek.com is designed for the PalmIII-PalmV
handhelds. However, none of which are designed like the Pronto with the CCF
file merging capabilities. These apps simply turns the handhelds into a
glorified learning remote. The advantage is that they do have the
capability to create custom screens. I'm not sure about any of the Pocket
PC (Microsoft's new term for the latest version of WinCE) devices, but as
for the Palm handhelds, the internal Ir is too weak (2-7 feet range) and too
narrow (5 degree range) for remote control applications. However, Tech
Center Labs' (http://members.aol.com/talestuff/) Ir Blaster is designed to
be used with Palm handhelds and OmniRemote. Ir Blaster is an external Ir

I have both a Palm and a Pronto... don't use the Palm to control much. It
was a novelty but wore off quickly.
It is true that the IR on the PalmIII devices is too week to control much.
For some reason the upgrade to some of the older palms (which included an
new back with an IR port) have a much stronger IR signal.
I also agree with George's statement that the lack of capability to add
devices by merging in devices created by someone else is a major shortcoming
for OmniRemote. They have been promising this capability for over a year.

I have also tried the palm solution and was less than pleased with it. I
was hoping the same thing could be done on a CE box. The ability to have vb
& vc apps run on it would allow for a much "cooler" interface not to mention
a color one at that. I did find a link for ir remote on a ce box but the
site was mostly in Japanese so it was hard to get much info.

Subject: [slinkelist] IR on WinCE box
When I bought my TRG Pro, I dedicated my Palm 3 at home to Omni Remote. Agreed
that the built in IR on the Palm devices stinks, but Pacificneotek also sells
the Omniremote module which works great. The one thing I did not like about
that solution was holding the unit upside down and having to hold it fairly flat
to get it to work. My solution was to build the IR transmitter side of the
module into my extra hotsync cradle. I found a schematic on the net for the
transmitter side. I think it uses 6 parts including 2 IR LED's. Now I can see
the display to push buttons and hold it comfortably in my hand or use it without
picking it up from the table. I have the hotsync button configured to turn on
the Palm3 and launch Omniremote and using a hack (I think commander) it will
turn the backlight on between whatever hours I specify. I also have the up and
down buttons set for volume and you can configure them all if you want. I use
the built in timers to play music to go to sleep to and then put CDJ to sleep
and then it wakes me up with a playlist in the morning that it shuffles each day
so I wake up to something different each day. The combination between my P3,
Omniremote, and CDJ has been a wonderful thing for me. The only weak link is
that I am still using IR to turn the stereo on and off at specified times. I
would love to see the ability to set timers in CDJ to execute commands or
macros.
Just my $.02 worth.

Subject: [slinkelist] CDDB track lengths?
A bit off topic, but wondered if anyone had any suggestions for the
following problem:
When burning MP3s onto CDs to form an album (all legit of course),
frequently the track lengths don't match up exactly to the original because
of different track rips, truncated files etc. So the burnt CD won't match
on CDDB and the lookup will fail and the track names will have to be
entered manually.
What I'm looking for is a way to find out the individual track lengths of
the master album so I can get the correct MP3 files to match. CDDB doesn't
list track lengths, and none of the commercial sites seem to either.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Subject: [slinkelist] Feature Request
Now that I have multiple players (and MP3), I'm finding that there's another
useful feature that can be added.
If it was possible to declare two tracks as the same, the two tracks could
be put in seperate playes, and the playing algorithm could pick the song off
the other player (to queue if faster).
This means that if you had two CD players with the exact same CDs in them,
CDJ would be able to alternate between the two CD players without any
difficulty at all. Also, only one song would need to be listed when a search
is done, etc.
A minor feature: Righ tnow you can either choose to queue or not queue a CD.
Would it be possible to also have an option where the CD is loaded, but not
started? (in other words, a play then stop is executed) This would allow
people like me to use the audio through without a problem.

Subject: [slinkelist] DCOM made easy!!!!
I just had a wonderful microsoft experience (ick I
feel dirty). I just downloaded DCOM98 1.3 (make sure
you get the DCOMCNFG too). It took about 4 minutes to
setup DCOM on a win98 peer to peer network. My
Iopener is running my partyGUI, and the 'server' in
the wall is running CDJ. It all works. Colby, I
guess you can do it w/o NT. Get the stuff at
www.microsoft.com/com downloads.
The server in the wall is controlling SLINKE and my
X10 Crap, but now I never have to touch it again.

To "queue faster" create playlist optimize it or manually choose when
which song is played and SAVE it and load when ever you need. Or do like
me, rip the favorite cd's to mp3 and create virtual Album from it (and
disable the cd in CDJ library) then there is no delay between songs.
(IMHO I don't think many people want to buy 2 of the same cd, and twice
as many players)
I think you should be able to do the "minor feature" on your own adding
the stop command to the map file (read the help) even though I really
don't understand why you would want to. In maps you can program other
player(s) to stop then one starts playing (even with delay) I you have
Control-A1 Amp them you can do much more.

Subject: [slinkelist] Clearing memeory in a Sony CDP CX 220
Greetings,
I have obtained used a second changer, a Sony CDP CX 220, and added it
to my slinke controlled CDP CX 255. I received no documentation for the
220, but do have the remote control. I would like to delete all memory
of discs, tracks and text in the 220 that was stored by the previous
owner. Can someone suggest how I should do this? Thanks in advance for
any responses from list members.
Does anyone care to comment about the comparative merits of the 255 and
220 models. I know that the the 255 is older, but it has RCA jacks for
input audio that the 255 lacks. I had intended to daisy chain three
changers, which I will be able to do only if the third changer provides
the necessary input jacks. I have not attempted to use optical out from
either changer, and I did not obtain an optical cable with the 220; but
I may have one from when the 255 was new.
Tom

I have a CX 300, and its manual says "to clear all memory entries, with the
changer turned off, while pressing the 'clear' button, turn it on".

Subject: [slinkelist] Re: Party GUI
Sure Greg no problem.
Basic instructions are in the readme and in the in the
ini file. Yes, cdj must be running. cdj must be
setup to use slinkeserve, and must be using an access
database. you must update the ini file as well.
Actually I was going to discuss this error w/ colby.
With the latest build I started getting some similar
errors, but only w/DCOM and PartyGUI totally isolated
from the slinkeserver and cdj...
Let me know if I can be of further help.

Subject: [slinkelist] No players detected
I'd appreciate any help I with the following...
Just upgraded to the 4/11 release of SlinkE/CDJ ... however, the Slink
doesn't recognise my two changers anymore. The Slink itself is detected, but
not the player. Going back to a previous Slink release doesn't help.
I'm running Win98 and using a CDP-CX350 (port 0) and a CDP-CX260 (port 1).
Up until today everything worked fine.
Any ideas?
Help much appreciated.
Leon.
