[slinkelist] CDP-CS555ES Song lists

[Craig O'Connor]

Heck, that's why I bought the 90ES and Slink-e. My third player will be a
90ES. Get'm while you can.

None of the CD changers that I know of has the track memo feature.  Most of
us and manufacturers are hoping that ten years from now, CD-Text will be a
standard on all CD's.  Therefore, there is no need to put extra memory and
programming into the changers for track memo.

My 2 cents worth.

    I cannot believe that a company such as Sony could act so irresponsibly.
Even months after I told Sony that its 350 lacked track memo, Sony still
advertised it with that feature.  And I have heard that Sony may not
reintroduce track memo since apparently people did not like to take the time
to enter tracks, although I must believe that ten years from now it will
become a standard feature for all CD changers.

    Does anyone know whether any changer from any company will allow users
to
enter tracks?

 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.
