[slinkelist] Multiple passes when searching discs

[Colby Boles]

When CDJ discovers that a disc has moved to a new location, the location
where CDJ previously thought that disc to be now becomes "empty". So after
one pass through the changers, there may be new spots which need checking.
This may occur multiple times.

Subject: [slinkelist] Multiple passes when searching discs


I've searched the archives and the help files, but I haven't been able to
find an answer to this very basic (I think) question:

Why does CDJ make multiple (typically 3, but sometimes 2 and sometimes 4 or
more) passes when searching for discs (in either empty, empty/missing, or
tedious modes)?

What exactly is it doing, and why does it seem to find certain discs on the
first pass yet find other discs on later passes.  Also, why on the last pass
does it usually seem to do nothing physically with the changers but appears
to zip through the discs in the CDJ search status window?  In essence, why
can't CDJ find everything it needs to find in a single pass?

If it matters in terms of answering my question, I've got ten CX-300s
connected to one Slink-e, and I'm running the 4/11/00 version (Build 1841)
of CDJ.

Thanks for your help,

Brent
