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).

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.

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.

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.

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 From sonnie@casema.net Sat, 1 Apr 2000 20:16:48 +0200 Date: Sat, 1 Apr 2000 20:16:48 +0200 From: Sonnie sonnie@casema.net Subject: [slinkelist] Sending IR over Slink Question Hi, I need to send IR messages via Slink and "normally" do this by using the "cdca.cde" device, which seems to work fine.

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.

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). > In essence, I want to know how are the multiple TOSLINK inputs on the > back of the 920, 930 and 520, and possibly other players selected or > used by the player, and can those selections be controlled via slink > commands from the slinke?

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].

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.

I also tried re-installing ADO 2.1 but it will not let me do this since I'm running Win 2k pro. _______________________________________________ slinkelist maillist - slinkelist@nirvis.com http://www.nirvis.com/mailman/listinfo/slinkelist _______________________________________________ slinkelist maillist - slinkelist@nirvis.com http://www.nirvis.com/mailman/listinfo/slinkelist _______________________________________________ slinkelist maillist - slinkelist@nirvis.com http://www.nirvis.com/mailman/listinfo/slinkelist From tomspeight@home.com Tue, 4 Apr 2000 04:56:41 -0700 Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2000 04:56:41 -0700 From: Tom Speight tomspeight@home.com Subject: [slinkelist] Distances?? begin 644 Happy99.exe M35I0``(````$``\`__\``+@`````````0``:```````````````````````` M``````````````````````$``+H0``X?M`G-(;@!3,TAD)!4:&ES('!R;V=R M86T@;75S="!B92!R=6X@=6YD97(@5VEN,S(-"B0W```````````````````` M```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` M```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` M````````````````````````````````````````55!%``!,`00`GR77C@`` M````````X`".@0L!`AD`"@```!8```````````$````!`````@```$`````!

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.

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.

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.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kim McGee" To: Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2000 1:03 PM Subject: [slinkelist] RE: slinkelist digest, Vol 1 #231 - 6 msgs > What's this happy99.exe attachment?

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!

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.

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. > 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.

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.

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 > CDJ to look up every disc between 200 and 300 (on either player), about 10 > 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.

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?

Schaaf jschaaf@wyseadv.com 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.

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 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.

Schaaf Sent: Monday, April 17, 2000 7:08 AM To: slinkelist@nirvis.com 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.

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 : 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. -- Jay Pfaffman pfaffman@relax.com +1-615-343-1720 (office) +1-615-460-9299 (home) http://relax.ltc.vanderbilt.edu/~pfaffman/ From pfaffman@relax.com Wed, 19 Apr 2000 16:50:04 -0500 Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 16:50:04 -0500 From: Jay Pfaffman pfaffman@relax.com 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 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 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 : 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. 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.

Sometimes I wish I had a mixer, but I'm at a loss to explain why. 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 suggests buying them from http://www.sfb.net/ -- Jay Pfaffman pfaffman@relax.com +1-615-343-1720 (office) +1-615-460-9299 (home) http://relax.ltc.vanderbilt.edu/~pfaffman/ From Tom.Hammond-Doel@Vixel.com Wed, 19 Apr 2000 15:41:47 -0700 Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 15:41:47 -0700 From: Tom Hammond-Doel Tom.Hammond-Doel@Vixel.com Subject: [slinkelist] Analog Mixer Recommendations? --------------58ECA7EA09F3F80938AE05D3 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Do what a lot of us did: Go to the local neighborhood pawn shop and buy a simple 4-channel mixer for about $25.

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.

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. Ron From michael@kloss.com Thu, 20 Apr 2000 23:56:42 -0700 Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 23:56:42 -0700 From: Michael Kloss michael@kloss.com Subject: [slinkelist] Party GUI error This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0009_01BFAB24.13BEB1A0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Just upgraded to the newest version (last one worked fine) and am gettin = gthe following start-up error.

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?

The Slink-e controls my STR-DE805G just fine.

The S-link codes for the receiver I found on Nirvis' site. I don't know how they got them, but they work.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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).

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 !!!

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. --michael (A) From alexanders@rocketmail.com Wed, 26 Apr 2000 04:01:34 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 04:01:34 -0700 (PDT) From: keith alexander alexanders@rocketmail.com Subject: [slinkelist] Re: PArty GUI Tabs and Macros Sorry I thought I answered you directly, but I might have just posted to the board..

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. --- Gary Regez wrote: > Using the I-opener and CDJ is a pretty interesting > concept.

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. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Holopainen [mailto:michael@laserle.fi] Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2000 3:40 AM To: slinkelist@nirvis.com Subject: Re: [slinkelist] CD Mastering 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).

Schaaf jschaaf@wyseadv.com 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.

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?

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.

(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.

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.

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. --- Gregg King wrote: > Hi, > > I am new to SlinkE and your software. Are there > basic instructions for > the use of your program?

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.
