FW: [slinkelist] CDP-CS555ES Song lists

[Craig O'Connor]

Well me for one. There was very little information available about this
player before I ordered it from Oade Bros (great price, though). As the
happy owner of the 90ES, but blessed with 60 more CD's (and growing) than
the 90ES holds, I'be been waiting for the 300 version of the 90ES. Close but
no cigar. The sound is similar using the analog path, but they really should
have done a digital Master/Slave pass through (obviating the need of the
DXS) so I could use my DAC. The fancy/schmancy remote? Eh, who cares without
track info. I miss being able to glance at the player when away from the PC
to get track info (I would have loved to get the TV out feature to work)

    No problem.  Thanks for your clarification.  Only recently did Sony stop
advertising the CDP-CX350 as having track memo, so there are substantial
grounds for confusion.  I wonder how many bought 350s and 555ESs thinking
they had track memo?

 Ahhhhh...I see what is happening now--Andrew's question helped me
 understand. It turns out that the 555ES does NOT keep track memos--and the
 2-way remote just lists them track by track without giving the ability to
 change the names, either manually or automatically.

 I was wrong, it does NOT store track memo--the fact that the remote lists
 them in a similar fashion to the disc memo led me to think it did (I have
 not reseached this very much).

 Thanks for the clarification.
