Re: Which jukebox?

[Keith Doxey <keith.doxey@xxxxxxx>]

I never said it was easy but if you choose numeric names (that doesnt sound
right!) for the playlists (BTW you can create a playlist for each album as
well) and number your CD's then it becomes easier.

CD's start at 001 upto whatever 300+ in your case and probably mine as
well.
Playlists from 800 to 999. My MP3 files are names after the CD+TrackNo so
20614.mp3 is track 14 on CD 206.

253* would play album 253.m3u
801* would play playlist 801.m3u
20614# would play track 20614.mp3

OK ...you have to remember some numbers but I quote....

Now either you remember 3-7-1 is "Bat Out Of Hell" (Excellent
choice if I
may say so :-))
or you looked it up on the big shiney thing that swallowed your money.

Of course the "BEST" solution is Voice Recognition

JUKEBOX "MEATLOAF"

or

JUKEBOX "I've Had a Shitty Day" whereby a playlist of feelgood
music gets
fired off :-))

Oneday.....the jukebox will be able to tell how feel based on the speed of
your car approaching and how hard you slam the door....SCAREY :-))

Thanks Keith,

No I don't have Homevision, just Comfort (for now), but with the
newly-released UCM module for Comfort, and Dan Hoenen's avowed intent to
support Comfort with ACE, I should probably be able to achieve the same
level of functionality as HV. However, that's all a wee while away yet....

I can also achieve the same Start...Run functionality you describe, .....

BUT, that's fine for a very small number of playlists, but I currently have
about 300 complete albums in my jukebox,...

... So the only way I see to be able to do it
without having to use a display and select by name, is to assign index
numbers to each one, and select by number....
