If you're doing this with the Win98 support i.e. not buying special hardware, yes you can except the partygui will always be on the primary monitor.

Let's try another example. Let's say I have had a CD in my cd player for a long time, and it's my favorite, so it appears in all my playlists. Now I go out and get an MP3 of one of the songs from that CD. It would be great if I could ID it as the same song as on the CD so that CDJ could realize that it would be quicker to play the MP3 than the copy on the CD. This means I don't have to change my playlists-- some of which are in random order and have no effective way of searching for a song. >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.

When there are no CDs playing, the CD player passes the sound from the audio in through. When a CD is paused, it is considered "playing". CDJ, when it cues a disk, pauses the CD, therefore no sound gets passed through, and I can't use the setup as a simple mixer. A couple other things I've noticed: * You can't sort playlists. Why is this useful? Because songs have been added to my playlists in a somewhat random fashion, it is difficult to find a particular song on the list in order to delete it. * Occasionally CDJ "loses" the CD player. As far as I can tell, CDJ thinks it is still sending commands to the CD player (from examining the playlist), but the cd player continues with whatever it was doing when CDJ lost track. * Windows 98 won't shut down since I installed the CDJ software. Although it's not that important to me, it's a minor inconvenience. To go along with my wish list above, I gotta say that CDJ is still a great piece of software! > >Mike Patterson wrote: >> >> 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.

I have loaded CDJ and it works fine, found all my cd's on the cddb etc., no problem. I loaded CDJ covers and it finds 0 of my disks - I have emailed James about this and he indicates that he will look into it soon. I really wanted the Partygui solution so I can control my system from TV's in my house. I have the latest version, and while I have tried to get it to work, I just can't. When it comes up, it is a little flakey, with the colors changing and the "click to get toolbar" working sometimes but not others. When I do get to see the covers ( i have added a few manually) it seems to function ok in that i can record a playlist etc. When I try to play the playlist, it says "loading playlist" and stays there. Now - I do have CDJ running, I have altered the ini file to see my database, but have left the rest "as is" since I don't know anything about CDE files. Could this be the problem??? Any help GREATLY appreciated.

It is called IPMailer and is available for download at http://members.access1.net/bcockle. It is a small Delphi app and I have only tested it on Win9x. I'm not sure if or how it will run under WinNT or Win2000. I wrote the utility to simplify connecting to my home PC that is attached to the slink-e over the internet via a DHCP dialup connection. Does that make sense? The ultimate goal is to have streaming audio playing from my CD/MP3 collection and be able to control it via a web page. This will just simplify connecting to the PC via a web browser. Before I would look up the IP address of my dialup adapter and then write it down so I could access the PC once I got to where ever I was going. Now I go to the URL above and click on a link that will autofoward me to my webserver at home. The utility can accomplish three things (all of which are more detailed in the readme file). The utility communicates this information through e-mail and/or FTP. After the IP address of the PC is selected via a drop down box of availabe addresses, it will: - e-mail the IP address of the machine to any internet e-mail address and/or - upload a file containing the HTML code to autoforward back to the IP address of the machine. and/or - if available, it will launch the software program WebCam32 and update the ftp server to the IP address of the machine. I will say that the utility isn't as automated as I would like. If the PC looses it's connection to the ISP, it will not automatically update when a new session begins. I hope to accomplish this in the future, but I have not found a reliable way specify which device to use (note: this only an issue when there are multiple NIC's, dialup adapters, etc., installed in the computer). Anyway, I thought I would put it out there for others to try out. If you use it, let me know what you think. --Brian Cockle From ksherwin@videon.wave.ca Tue, 02 May 2000 16:45:50 -0500 Date: Tue, 02 May 2000 16:45:50 -0500 From: Korey Sherwin ksherwin@videon.wave.ca Subject: [slinkelist] Moveable PartyGUI for Dual Monitor.... on 5/2/00 3:33 PM, Harris, Terry at THarris@leasedirect.com wrote: > > Specific support for Pronto Remotes would be cool... > > There is a CDJ-to-Pronto tool on the Nirvis web site that is okay, but does > not work for CDs in slots 200 and above.

CDJ is supposed to take care of this automatically. It knows which players can store memos. I just looked at the code and there was a loophole I left which is giving you this warning.

To play a turntable into anything correctly at LINE level requires a "phono" type preamp with the appropriate IRAA equalizer. This is commonly found on any piece of low-budget crappy stereo gear- "preamp/ integrated amp stereo thing" that has a phono input. Just take a LINE out or REC out of that unit ( with PHONO selected as input )and plug it into your sound card LINE IN. The cable would be stereo RCA to 3.5mm stereo (easily found at "Le Shack" ). MIC IN on any sound card probably has enough gain ( 30 to 40 dB ) but lacks the equalizer-----gottttt's no bottom end!!!!............ Got'sta have yo bottom end! You're dealing with technology from the pre-CD era and may not be familiar with the limitations of cutting vinyl records or interface issues or maybe I'm just getting old. On a different bent, one CDJ / Slinkee thing we discovered, relative to lockups etc, has to do with file allocation tables. It's very happy to have the executable file in one FAT and cd files/ lists/ etc. in another. Works great and what the hell, hard drives are cheap and / or sectoring is relatively easy.

I use it as my main interface to CDJ and it is really nice. You asked for suggestions. How important is screen saving. Will a few hours use each day cause a problem if I don't use the saver? I don't like the saver method you use. I know I can turn it off but I would like to use it but have it look a little better. Could you do this instead? Move the time played and time remaining up or down one line after each song alternating between three screen locations? Could you change the colors once per song? (does changing these colors work as a screen saver?) User choice for screen text color in the ini file. If I chose a dull color would this be screen saving? I think the album playing cover graphic display is to large, causing pixeling. Could that size be reduced enough to allow two lines of next album/song? I would suggest the title on one line and the artist album on the second. By "Artist" from the album "Album Title" I feel more comfortable with from instead of on. If you made more space on the screen you could have the control box up and the next song information instead of the box over the next data. Would it be possible to minimize the UI? I am also having the following problem. I click on a song title, then add to playlist. then make playlist. A Message comes up and say recording, and the bar changes to play playlist. I click on the bar and the screen says loading your playlist but nothing plays.

TurtleBeach ( http://www.voyetra.com ) is on of the more respected sound cards (Montegro II ?) or something like that. Another options is SoundBlaster Live! Platinum. SoundBlaster used to suck big, but I understand that newer Platinum is acceptable. I had a SoundBlaster Live! with digital I/O , gave it to my mother in law... Recommended solution is: Turntable ---[Receiver]---SPDIF I/O -----[Digital Sound Card] 1)Then the s/w you should run is a de-clicking s/w for the records. De-clicking is theoretically sound, since it uses the mechanically generated fast attack time to detect scratches. 2)After that you can (if you want to) run a de-hissing s/w. However de-hissing is not theoretically sound, since it tends to remove the "asynchronous" noise from the music , which could ( and does) remove some hi frequeincies also. One option is to limit it to 6db or even less. Now having said all this, I will go against my rules and recommend that you get a SoundBlaster Live! Platinum , ( but make sure that it comes with Cubasis s/w) I understand that it contains a de-clicker. However do look at Montegro from Voyetra and at RME DIGI96 ..... Again, now I have my own built-in hiss reduction , known as loss of hearing due to advanced age. So thake what I say with a grain of salt.... Some other sources.... http://www.mtu.com/basics/noiseremove.htm http://www.sonicspot.com/noisereduction/noisereduction.html Also look at the following h/w and/or s/w Samplitude 2496 diamondcut32 http://www.sekd.com Also read the following ----Another Post from another group------------------------------- My name is Glenn Moses. I'm a professional audio engineer, and from years of listening, my ears are trained and tuned. When I first heard about digital noise removal software, I thought it was what I was waiting for to clean up my old cassettes and vinyl, so I could print them to CD and preserve them. I was overjoyed at the prospect of restoring my favorite music to its former glory or beyond. I routinely get my grubby hands on this kind of software. I try all of it, and play with it extensively. What I have found is the following. Broadband noise reduction is always damaging when you apply it to an entire mix, especially when there is a crowd or cymbals on the recording. Thus, hiss-removal just sucks for all kinds of mastering, especially live source material. It doesn't do much damage if it's applied 6dB or less, but then again, losing 6dB is not worth using the NR software. In the studio, hiss removal is, however, REALLY handy for rmoving hiss from individual, un-mixed solo instrumental tracks, particulary guitar and bass tracks, as preparation for mixing multitracked records. Used properly, this software definitely helps to clean up studio recordings. Click removal software is incredible. I had a 1978 Genesis single with an extremely rare pair of B-sides on it. The record was unlistenable due to the noise. After de-clicking the record through the Steinberg De-Clicker plug-in in Cubase VST/24, the record became as close to new as I could ever hope for. Simply incredible. From what I have read, it's best to de-click recordings that need it before you de-hiss them, in order to take a cleaner sample of the hiss for de-hissing software to learn from. This is important, because, on live material like Dead and Phish, the crowd can be interpreted as noise by noise-removal software. This is an oversimplification of how the software works; Hiss-removal is really not that intelligent an algorithm. But, essentially, the crowd and percussion confuse the noise-removal filters, and so, they get damaged. Sucks, don't it? I can't wait until this stuff gets smarter. I'm sick and tired of getting .mp3 files and even CD's of rare, classic source that has been butchered and garbled by ignorant people that honestly think that they did a good job "cleaning up" the music! It genuinely hurts me, and it's usually a waste of my time to obtain that source. If you have the patience and a LOT of time, I'm told that many moderate passes of the hiss removal process are much cleaner and more effective than fewer, more drastic passes. If you really want to kill the hiss, try knocking it down 3dB at a time, and listening to the preview before you process the file if your software allows. This is supposed to work, but it's time consuming as all hell. Above all, ***use your ears!!!*** They will not lie to you. So far, they've worked great for you. I'm glad you had the sense to throw out this issue to the community. Feel free to send this letter to anyone out there that you feel needs it. This is an issue dear to me, and the ignorance and deafness out there astounds me. I would love to be a part of the cure. I'd love to see hiss-removal get the same bad rap as Dolby noise-reduction has among analog traders (Dolby is excellent when used properly, but no one uses it properly, and it becomes dangerous. Bleh.) Summary: De-clicking = good De-Hissing = bad My conclusion for the time-being is to simply knock all of my source down to CD right now, as-is, before the masters decay any further over time. I'll process them later when the right tools arrive. My records are my babies, I'm sure you love yours, as well. If you want to dabble in cleaning yours up, just make sure that you keep a copy of the original, hissy, crackly source handy on disc as well, so that when the time comes that the right software is here, you can re-attack the problem properly. Please, feel free to bother me with any technical questions you may have. If I don't have the answer, I can point you in the right direction. You can find numerous resources through the web-sites and archives of Mix and Electronic Musician magazines. These are the major how-to trade publications of audio engineers world-wide.

Peace, love, and music, Glenn ----------------------------------------------------------------- I agree with you 100%. There seems to be a maturation process amongst those that collect digital recordings. After discovering how to capture and process music, people's attention seems to turn toward correcting and improving the quality of items in their collection. I know I went through a stage like that, and I've seen others go through it as well. I have been successful removing pops, "correcting" recordings by splicing from multiple "identical" sources and removing whines and whatnot with notch filters. In the majority of cases, removing hiss ruins the music. I have had some success, though. 5.15.70 has Pigpen singing "She's Mine". I boosted the volume, then ran 25% noise reduction 4 times, and it sounds pretty nice. On 7.2.71, I ramped the 1st minute of "Sing Me Back Home" because it started very softly, then ran 3 rounds of NR at 25%. This one sounds pretty good as well. On the other hand, I have several shows with that warbly sound that says "NR used here". I have tried running NR on a copy of 4.26.69 (Electric Theater) that I digitized from a 2nd gen cassette, but the results were awful. Personally, I feel that people should avoid using NR on traded material, unless the NR is clearly noted.

Humphrey TWHumphrey@fuse.net Subject: [slinkelist] The next step My whole-house solution is ChannelPlus modulators fed video by a scan converter, to put the computer's screen (and other things, i.e., DSS, VCR, DVD) on unused cable channels added to the regular feed from the cable company. The Channel Plus equipment also feeds IR control signals from the remote TV's back to the modulator for repeating into the slinke. It works well after some debugging. For remote control of CDJ using IR, I use a slinkx program for mouse movement and click emulation, as well as an IR keyboard for keystroke entry. I have a beta version of the slinkx program if anyone wants a copy. For stereo sound you can get a MTS capable modulator, hard wire separate phono, TOSLINK and/or video/RF cables to remote locations, or put in an FM modulator to create a bootleg FM station carrying CDJ's audio (I did toslink/phono downstairs, and FM for upstairs).

I don't think that this is your issue, but why can't you click on a song and play it. When I do it plays the album not the song. (or the first song in the album anyway). Yours was a great discription of the screen saver but it sounded much better coming from you. :) If you are going to work on the screen saver, don't forget the next playing message.

Thanks, --Brian Cockle -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Another Off Topic: IPMailer Utility Date: Tue, 02 May 2000 13:24:44 -0700 From: Brian Cockle To: "slinkelist@nirvis.com" Although this is slightly off topic as well, I have written a little utility I thought others may find useful. It is called IPMailer and is available for download at http://members.access1.net/bcockle. It is a small Delphi app and I have only tested it on Win9x. I'm not sure if or how it will run under WinNT or Win2000. I wrote the utility to simplify connecting to my home PC that is attached to the slink-e over the internet via a DHCP dialup connection. Does that make sense? The ultimate goal is to have streaming audio playing from my CD/MP3 collection and be able to control it via a web page. This will just simplify connecting to the PC via a web browser. Before I would look up the IP address of my dialup adapter and then write it down so I could access the PC once I got to where ever I was going. Now I go to the URL above and click on a link that will autofoward me to my webserver at home. The utility can accomplish three things (all of which are more detailed in the readme file). The utility communicates this information through e-mail and/or FTP. After the IP address of the PC is selected via a drop down box of availabe addresses, it will: - e-mail the IP address of the machine to any internet e-mail address and/or - upload a file containing the HTML code to autoforward back to the IP address of the machine. and/or - if available, it will launch the software program WebCam32 and update the ftp server to the IP address of the machine. I will say that the utility isn't as automated as I would like. If the PC looses it's connection to the ISP, it will not automatically update when a new session begins. I hope to accomplish this in the future, but I have not found a reliable way specify which device to use (note: this only an issue when there are multiple NIC's, dialup adapters, etc., installed in the computer). Anyway, I thought I would put it out there for others to try out. If you use it, let me know what you think. --Brian Cockle From michael@laserle.fi Thu, 04 May 2000 19:42:17 +0300 Date: Thu, 04 May 2000 19:42:17 +0300 From: Michael Holopainen michael@laserle.fi Subject: [slinkelist] Image drag & drop to cdj They are stored in cdnow server (www.cdnow.com/whereever). when you drag&drop image to cdj (or mp3 file) the cdj don't do anything to the image just saves the PATH to the image. in webbrowser right click the image and choose "Save Image As" and save it to your local HD (or whereever you want to keep the image files) and from WINDOWS Explores drag & drop to CDJ (or My Computer / Network Neighbourhood) IT DO NOT STORE THEM TO "temporary internet files" that is just your webrowsers cache = NOTHING TO DO WITH CDJ everything webbrowser loads (you see in your in webbrowser window) is saved to the TEMPORARY cache for a while (30 days or something by default, can be configured and those files are deleted automaticly every now & then) SO if you drag & drow from web browser (Netscape or that horrible other) CDJ saves the image file path = "http://www.cdnow.com/somewhere/subdir/someImage.jpg" so you would need to be online for the image to be displayed -> A LOT smarter is to save the image to local drive & them drag & drop to LINK cdj to that image file (remember if you move the file you need to update the path to cdj) -michael (A) "Cunningham, Neil" wrote: > > Has anyone found a way to control where images dragged from cdnow (for > example) to cdj get stored?

You could, theoretically, change these keys to point to your album covers directory, drag and drop all of your covers to cdj, and then change the keys back. Of course then you would have to delete all of the other temporary files that aren't the actual covers. Might be hard since they probably don't have user friendly names. The keys [at least in NT] are found under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Paths Most of the time, editing the registry directly doesn't produce the results you want [so this is a long shot at best]. Make sure you close all of your browser windows before editing the keys, and you might want to throw in a couple of reboots for good luck. In the end you'll probably spend more time trying to get this to work than you would save by being able to directly drag and drop.

Have tried repeatedly to get my new SlinkE to work with my almost brand new HP 1G computer. I've connected the SlinkE to the wall wart and via the serial port, and downloaded all the necessary files (SysUpdate.exe, ADO 2.1, and Slinke.exe) from the web, and installed them in what I thought was the correct order. When I try to start up CDJ, it begins to load and I get the 4 or 5 window screen segments pictured on the web sample page (which are blank at this point), but then I get a window in the upper left corner of the screen. As soon as it appears, my computer totally locks up, and I have to reboot. Computer configuration: HP Pavilion 1G (one GigHz Pentium III, 128M of RDRAM, 32M of SDRAM video aboard a Nvidia Video card, a Soundblaster Live sound card, and a 40.1 harddrive, running Windows 98. After working on this and acquiring plenty of practice using the computer's on/off button) until about 2:00 AM, I'm just a bit frustrated this morning. Were there supposed to be instructions in the SlinkE box? Its kind of unusual for there not to be any documentation (set-up instructions, software, or warranty info) with a product of this type. Any assistance will be most appreciated. Thanks.

Finally took it back after busted IDE controller, busted modem and another busted modem (after 24 hours) and claim by the HP phone tech that "You must be doing something to those machines!" To give them credit , he did call and leave a message to please call him after a week, and he was going to resolve it, and needless to say, by that time I had already returned the machine and bought a Sony VAIO (my first one, and now I am into my fourth). Anyway, disable the Plug and Play OS, and see if that helps. If not then disable one of the COM ports, and use the other for SLink-e.... see if that helps. In not , try to upgrade windows from Internet Exploreer-> Tools... If not , then call HP support, and if they are as snotty to you as they were to me, then take it back.

I have seen the PCI cards as well as the USB TV Tuner/ Capture Cards on Sale at Comp USA for less than $50. You will still need a camera. A camcorder will do as well as almost any in expensive camera. Stay away from the X-10 Camera's they need way to much light. Target sells a Black and white video camera with power supply and 75 feet of twisted pair cable for under $50.00. They go fast when advertised. The camera is sensitive to infra red light and has 6 IR LED's to illuminate a dark room. You can use many applications to capture the data, video confernce or just watch tv. take a look at www.gotchanow.com. Great app for security as well as other needs. (I posted the following message on comp.home.automation earlier this week.) I'm not sure if anyone is aware of this, but Windows 98 allows the download of tv listings from http://broadcast.microsoft.com/epgdata/. You must have Win98, a TV tuner card and web tv installed. I suggest the ATI all in wonder series. The Hauppauge wintv's work well also. The Data is available as a MDB database and can be used by other applications. The Database could be used to control the TV and VCR from VBA, a Home Automation Controller or some other IR device like a slink-e. I'm not the one to develop an application to do anything with the data. Anyone else? "Tang, George" wrote: > > Ah.. okay.. then you need a video capture card...
