Hello

Would somebody be able to help me with the following problem:
First briefly my set-up: I have a Sony CX260 and a CX350 in a master/slave
set-up
My players and the laptop that runs CDJ are placed in a closet. I give my
commands to SlinkE via the CX350 remote control (the master). The IR signal
goes through the wall via a special tool in order to reach the SlinkE IR
eye.

As my players/laptop are not visible, I need to trust blindly on the remote
functions. I can see the screen of CDJ on my television set but I haven't
got it switch on always, or my kids are watching something else on the TV.
Lately I have learned the beautiful things one can do by programming the
maps.txt file such that I can use my sony remote to start any specific
playlist selection that I defined.
But what I can't figure out is how I start a specific CD (or track)
What I would like to do is use the scroll button from the remote and thus
selecting a certain CD and then by pushing the button automatically stopping
the playlist that is running and force that specific CD to start.
I want to use that scroll button as I have programmed most of the numbers
below the flap as specific playlists.

I do not see in the help-file which command I could use to force this to
happen.
I can obviously stop the playlist, turn the playlist mode to manual, but how
would I be able to select specific CD's or tracks from there on.

I would appreciate any help that could point me in the right direction. Or
if someone else has a set-up that I could also use I would be highly
interested.

Regards

Andre
