Hello list,

Just purchased my first CD changers... 4 of SONY CX450.  These suckers =
take some time when filling up.

I am setting up play lists with various names.  But for the exersize I =
might refer to them as list 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on.

What I am trying to acheive is to put together play lists for the =
following month.  Say play list 1 plays from 7am to 7pm Monday to =
Friday.  List 2 plays from 6.50am to 7.00 am (wake up sounds), List 3 =
plays Jazz from 7 am each Saturday, list 4 plays classical from midnight =
to 6.50 am, list 4 plays folk from 7 pm to 9 pm and so on...

I have two major problems at the moment,

  1.. I have a bit of trouble getting the play list to obey me (A bit =
like my two sons).  When it does it crashes out of the list at the =
appointed 'finish' time.
  2.. I can't seem to get the next list to fire up.
I am looking for a feature which may not excist.  I would like to find a =
timer which help me see the time (actual time from PC clock) as the list =
builds up.  Even better would be able to ask the playlist to optimise =
the lenth to fit time allocation.

If you haven't guest yet, I'm wishing to use this system ON AIR.

Any help would be appreciated.

Please note that I haven't got into any of that code stuff yet.

THX,

RODNEY FOX.
