I've successfully completed testing a card that I designed for my own use that connects to the D shell connector of the Slinke. The simple 4.3" x 3.2" card provides termination and optical isolation for seven Xantech receivers. It also optically isolates the IR transmit signals originating from the Slinke module. It does not operate stand-alone--it simple provides isolation and demodulation of received Xantech signals for the slinke. The card uses an Altera 7064 PLD to demodulate the Xantech signals. The same card can be used with a different PLD program to provide IO expansion via the slinke DIO signals. I've programmed the prototypes using the Altera Byteblaster, but I'm adding the ability to program the PLD through the SLINKE. The card is 100% SMT, except for the D shell connectors and 100 mil terminal blocks. It is currently a two-sided card. The screw type. 100 mil spacing terminal blocks have five signals each: ISO_RX ISO_TX +12 DIRTY_GND SHIELD The unit uses a separate, 12V supply to provide power to the Xantech receivers and to power the isolated IR transmit signals. The DIRTY_GND and +12 come from the 12V supply. The +12V powers the Xantech receivers while the ISO_RX is the output signal from the Xantech receivers. The shield is optional, but if used can be connected to ground at either end (but not both) of the interconnecting wire. If there is sufficient interest, I'd get more cards fabricated. I might change the card size slightly to fit in the same cover as the slinke. (The existing card form factor was designed to fit on the back of a rack mounted, 66 punch down block). Also, seven Xantech interfaces may be overkill. For my personal use, I converted one of the opto isolation circuits for control-s. (While slink provides an slinke interface, it does not provide isolation and therefore ties the ground of the slink card to the controlled/controlling appliance). Previously, I had about five people express interest. That wouldn't be enough to get the cards fabricated and populated at a reasonable cost. I'd have to do the soldering myself and just don't have the time. I'd need about 100 orders to set up a vendor to populate the cards. If I get signficant interest, I'll get some quotes.

Moving the thumb to the right, adjusting the columns so there is no horizontal scroll bar, or turning Helper Bars off lets the counter update normally.

In other words, evaluate the query, store 1 bits for all the tracks that match, and turn them off as you play them? When there are no 1-bits left, evaluate the query again. rebuild the bit-array, and start over? This guarantees no false replays.

I requested earlier that it not be updated until CDJ makes the change to the next track in the play list, and at first I thought that this is the new behavior. Unfortunately, there are a number of tracks whose number of times played has *not* been updated. I also notice that the time-played is usually significantly less than the track length. Perhaps there is a connection? If so, it's not absolute. For example, I have a track already played that's 5:34 long, marked as having been played one time for a playtime of 5:15. Another track is 4:42 long, shows as having been played 0 times for a playtime of 4:23. The time-played isn't being updated as of the time CDJ stops play, although perhaps it's the fact that I'm running a slow Pentium (75 or 90MHz). It isn't just a display problem, If I exit CDJ, restart it and do a search on tracks played in the last day, they show up with the same information From j.schaffer@snet.net Fri, 6 Oct 2000 18:05:34 -0400 Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2000 18:05:34 -0400 From: Jeff Schaffer j.schaffer@snet.net Subject: AW: [slinkelist] Please help Thanks for the reply.

Is this correct? 1 - 2 - Black - IR.TX 3 - Red - 12 volts 4 - Green - Ground 5 - Yellow - IR.RX data line 6 - Is there 5 volts available or just 12? I thought 100mA at 5v was listed in the slinke_features.htm file as being available through the expansion port? If I'm wrong on the pin-outs above, which lines are used for the emitters and which ones are used for the receivers?(power, ground, tx data?, rx data?) Also is the RX data line kept at a high value and then pulsed low to transfer the data? I've made a set of transmitters and receivers that work, but I'm new to this and I want to make sure I'm not doing something wrong and I don't want to damage the slink-e by hooking something up incorrectly.

And the new feature in CDJ to select which sound card the MP3 player uses works perfectly. A couple of things though: The choices in the list box for the output device are kind of cryptic. On my machine it looks like this: (default) /dev/wave/0 /dev/wave/1 /dev/wave/2 /dev/wave/3 /dev/dsound/0 /dev/dsound/1 /dev/dsound/2 /dev/dsound/3 It took me a couple of tries but I figured out that /dev/wave/1 was one sound card and /dev/wave/2 was another. It also took me some time to figure out that when you make the change in the option dialog it doesn't take place right away, you have to exit and restart CDJ for it to take effect.

Could the USER.BMP button bitmap be added to the list in OPTIONS / FILES&DIRECTORIES, defaulting to the as-shipped default in the CDJ.EXE directory? It would prevent overlays during upgrades. And the buttons are nice for pre-defined searches that get used a lot (I've added my 3 favorites), but it's a lot of work for a one-off search that you might want again that day, but never again. I'd still like the drop-down list of the last 'n' searches. Is it possible to force the display to switch to the appropriate SEARCH_MODE[DISC|TRACK] as a result of the last search executed from a user button? --Paul E Musselman PaulMmn@ixnetcom.com From mypeter@bigfoot.com Mon, 9 Oct 2000 00:02:44 -0700 Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2000 00:02:44 -0700 From: Peter Myers mypeter@bigfoot.com Subject: [slinkelist] Cross Fade This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_01F3_01C03184.3FC51AA0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I've got four (soon to be five) changers that I use with a mixer.

Your CDJ is able to memorize each track that was ever played. So it can build as part of it´s data a list of the most loved tracks. With this information the software could generate mp3 automatically. Yes, I know the discussion about grabbing audio via most faster CD-Roms inside the computer, but I think that it is not very funny to pick each cd from the automation to put it into the computer´s drive by hand. My suggestion is not to grab all the available disks at once ( what would take weeks depending to the amount of disks) but to save each track from the playlist as a wave file while hearing it. The cd-changer with it´s built-in error-correction is surely the better way than doing any jitter-correction in a grab-utility. So by using a task in the background the file could be converted to mp3 afterwards. For this it is necessary to connect the CD-changer to the digital input of the computers soundcard. Or, in my case: 3 changers adapted to a dxs and the dxs routed to the computer. The result would be a slowly growing amount of mp3 files containing the tracks the user likes most. The next step could be a graphical view to the database: a window, where the disks are displayed as bars on the x-axis. The length of each bar representing the time, divided in tracks. The colour of the tracks: red if the track was never played and green if played once. The saturation of green could vary depending how often the title has been played. So there could be a GUI which gives an overview how the library is used. Perhaps a pop-up-info can be programmed, which shows album-name and track-data while running the mouse-cursor over the display. By the way, the user would be able to select titles just by surfing over the map of the library and clicking the mouse can transfer it to the playlist or right-clicking starts the music immediately. If the computer is running 24 hours a day and 176 hours a week and is not needed by the user all the time, why should he not compile the library first in order of titles that have been played and when this is done, start to convert the rest of music step by step ? A faster system should be able to do both: sampling the input of the soundcard to a wav-file and converting it to mp3. In case of a slower computer the jobs may be cued to be done daisy-chained. It would not bother me, if the system would need weeks for this job. What counts is the result: All tracks on a disk of 60 GB in a structure of directories representing albums sorted by interprets. Then it would be easy to use the music in a disk-based car-radio or transferring it to a mp3 mobile player by drag-and-drop the files like usually. Perhaps these ideas may inspire you and we all know this is a lot of work of programming the software, and I have to maintain, cdj is a excellent application, which I enjoy every day. But could it be a bit better with the items above?

S-Link is unreliable at long distances, but serial works well. Also consider that you may be connecting your Slink-e to other devices in the future, and it will make more sense to have it close to the equipment so you can run many short cables instead of many long ones.

A nice UI improvement would be that as CDJ is discovering the CD title info while interrogating the CD slots it would scroll and highlight the entry it just completed in the Albums pane. That way as it has completed a slot you can see in the list what CD was just found. That should be a pretty easy improvement if you like it.

I've found myself in a similar situation. It's frustrating not to have a software solution when all of the hardware pieces are in place! There is a potential problem to be aware of when ripping mix CDs. The track seek on CD drives is only accurate to within about a second. For the tracks to be put back together seamlessly the ripping must proceed like this... 1) Rip the whole CD to a WAV. 2) Convert the WAV to an MP3. 3) Break the MP3 up into tracks (on MPEG Audio frame boundaries). 4) Name and tag the tracks. I've done some work on steps (3) and (4) in the past. I was frustrated because I couldn't find a *single* application that did it right! Of cause not every CD is a mix. A solution that can rip individual tracks would be very useful. I look forward to seeing something that works!

CDDB lookup is TOOOOOOO fast for human. (players are slow enough, but ...) 2. Any extra delay in CDDB lookup would cost money for users using telephone to connect to web. I think better solution would be checkbox "Confirm looked up disks" = It would display yes/no dialog showing location & found title for every disk is retrieves from CDDB.

Humphrey TWHumphrey@fuse.net Subject: Fw: [slinkelist] Automated ripping and MP3 encoding of entire jukebox Zeke: I have been working on capturing audio from exterior digital sources for a while now. I have found the synchronization between the timing signals from the external source and the actual audio stream are insufficient to make the "perfect" tracks. You will always wind up with some initial silence or (even worse) part of a neighboring track. I remain convicted that the only way to do the CD-originated MP3's right, is to rip the discs in a CD-ROM drive using RealJukebox or an equivalent, and then use software to scan the MP3 files, read artist/track info from the ID3's, and add them into the CDJ database. I have been focussing on creating that code. I plan to use VisualBasic to write the ID3 reader/Access program to add MP3's to CDJ. I believe you have at least some code that could be helpful regarding reading ID3 information from existing MP3 files. Can you ship over whatever you think might be useful? I will contact Colby to learn what is needed to add an MP3 "album" to CDJ so that CDJ will use it properly. Thanks, Tom.

Alsums->Tracks->Playlist->Details->Players->Album= s

control =3D
(for example with "egg" one of those simple = tv remotes with 6 keys in

You could browse albums / track & add them to = playlist with IR remote

-------------------
up =3D up in list
down =3D down in list
left =3D vol down
right =3D vol up
select =3D add_to_playlist - command
power =3D jump to next window (albums <-> = tracks)
---------------------

Pleeeeeaaaaase, pretty please.
I don't think this should be too hard to do ; = automation interfacce
command that triggers moving to next / prior in list = that currently has
focus. And move focus to next window, you could also = tie that action to
TAB key. 6-button remote controller is all they can = handle.

I had party last weekend and again noticed that CDJ = interface is still
too complicated for casual users. 
  
I'll promise I will not ask anything else for a = LOOOOng time, well I try
.... ;)

I have finally got over losing the "Play = now" and getting used to pass
everything through the playlist. With Clear_playlist = & randomplay it
functions quite nicely.

Not a single sing of life from mouse emu, I if you mean that VB-ActiveX application. 1. problem was that it needed some vb dll / ocx that were not in vb runtime 2. I got those files and I was able to start the app but it showed no signs of life in receiving IR. That's the problem with VB soft they usually do not work on any other machine than the one they were made in. The IR helper for Creative Encore DVD worked like charm, BUT it was made with Delphi. Delphi too has few problems BUT only few (2-3) but it's still poles apart from VB. If you are using VB, move to Delphi as soon as you can. Believe me You'll never regret it. I sincerely mean that as a fellow programmer. And in any case I do NOT want mouse movement just UP & DOWN arrow keys AND ability to jump from window to window inside CDJ. I'm sure that mouse emu in great program (if you get it to work), and I really mean that : you have juggle with WINAPI & ACTIVEX and SLINKE-Serv to get them to work even in some situations is an achivement itself. But controlling mouse_cursor with button_presses is not what I'm looking for. I want much more limited movement = single button press steps focus up/down in albums or tracks list (moves focus = displays cover) and another button to switch between albums and tracks window. -michael (A) "Thomas W.

I've had in my office one PC running CDJ, natively controlling a pair of Sony changers in the living room, with a long Cat-5 run from the PC to the Slink-e and a long speaker connection from the amplifier in the living room to satellite speakers in the office. I did most of my listening in the office, so having the primary CDJ control there was convenient enough. I've now acquired a home theatre setup with gorgeous audio in the living room. I still intend to do a fair amount of listening in the office, but now quite a bit more in the living room. I now want to control the Sony players through CDJ (or perhaps PartyGUI) in both the office and the living room. I have a few thoughts on how I might do this, but before I bias the feedback I'd rather first ask for suggestions from people who have already done something similar. To focus the suggestions, I'm prepared if necessary to put another PC in the living room and LAN connection between the living room and office. Ideas, anyone?

The server also has my MDB file, covers, and playlists. If I'm anywhere within earshot, I just grab the laptop to control CDJ. It works great -- I get full CDJ control from anywhere inside or outside the house. There are two annoyances that you will see in any CDJ/DCOM network configuration. First, CDJ updates reset the DCOM connection data, so I have to run DCOMCNFG and reconfigure DCOM after every CDJ update. Second, if CDJ crashes, I have to manually go and restart slinkesrv. The newer 11 Mbps wireless cards are fast enough that there's no significant difference between having the MDB and covers on the server versus the laptop. If my wife's using the laptop, I just revert back to running CDJ on the server, since it has the MDB and covers. If you're planning to buy a new PC anyway, I'd strongly recommend considering spending a few hundred bucks more for a laptop and wireless LAN. -----Original Message----- From: slinkelist-admin@nirvis.com [mailto:slinkelist-admin@nirvis.com]On Behalf Of Ron Tugender Sent: Monday, October 30, 2000 10:08 am To: Slinke-List Subject: [slinkelist] Multi-room controls I've been using Slink-e/CDJ for a while now, but in a rather simple way.

I now want to control the Sony players through CDJ (or perhaps PartyGUI) in both the office and the living room. I have a few thoughts on how I might do this, but before I bias the feedback I'd rather first ask for suggestions from people who have already done something similar. To focus the suggestions, I'm prepared if necessary to put another PC in the living room and LAN connection between the living room and office. Ideas, anyone?
