Re: MP3 Whole House Audio

[richardpassman@xxxxxxx (richardpassman)]

I thought you might say that.......

The whole process is a little complicated. When I was looking at the
different
ways I could of implemented it (sorry I'm talking about the Homevision
screens)
I decided that I didn't want to have to change the HV schedule to add
additonal
playlists and such like, at the moment I have to change text files using
notepad, but as part of the multizone software I will be dynamically
creating
the text files that are used.

I will grab the files from home later, and write up an explanation if
people so
want, though it might be wise if we do this outside the list as its totally
HV
based.
