[slinkelist] 2 questions-Cross Fade & CD Text

[Tang, George]

I don't know about Outlook Express, but I'm using Outlook 98 on Win98 and it
displays the email messages normally, not as an attachment.

Hi Jayson,

Welcome.  I had the same two questions.  Here's what I think the answers
are.

1:  Cross-fade in CDJ is for use with independent players, not those which
are chained via master/slave.  So you should put your 2nd player on a
separate slinke bus, and buy or build a passive mixer so you can put both
outputs in to the same cd input on your amp.

2:  Apparently there is no way to upload more than 13 chars to the players,
even though they display more when CD-Text is active.  Apparently there is
no way to upload track titles to players, even though they display when
CD-text is active.

PS.  I'm using outlook express 5 in win98, and all the slinke digest emails
have the messages as attachments which I have to open separately -- a pain.
But when I use OE5 on the mac, or use Netscape, the messages appear in the
email body itself, mking it easier to read.  Anybody know how I can get OE5
on Win98 to do this?

Just got my Slinke today and all I have to say is, "what a WONDERFUL new
toy!!!". Thanks to all that have put hard work into this product.
As a newbie, I have a couple of questions......
1) I can't get the cross fade within CDJ to work properly. I have two Sony
CDP-CX335 (replaces the CX300) changers. I have one set as a master & one as
a slave. I have piggy-backed the audio connections since I did not have
additional audio inputs on my receiver. In order to get output from the
slave, I had to connect the two players via AII. I have Slinke running to
the master only (when I connected to both, it showed I had four players
instead of two). Is there anything I am overlooking? Cross fade when not in
CDJ works fine.
2) Since these players are CD Text compatible, is there any way to get more
than 13 characters to the player? What about track titles? When a CD has CD
Text, the display will scroll the entire selection. Is this a future
enhancement, or am I not on the clue bus here?
Sorry for the long post -- just excited that I now have access to my 500+ CD
collection......
