DH: Check out: [Link: tasman.nl]There are links to lots of Audiotron info, user forums, apps, etc. Best site I've found so far for consolidating lots of Audiotron info. Alternatron is linked from that page, too. Hope this helps! Bryan

Has everyone managed to solve this to their satisfaction?
I've got a whole house stereo with two prontos. I've been using SuperNudelist to build my CD List. Now that I purchased an Audiotron, I had to write a piece of software to run on a Windows PC to enable the Pronto and SuperNudelist to do what they do so well.
Bottom line is I'm able to control my Audiotron without being in front of it!

Well I have managed to Tag my entire collection of 1500 albums and create a playlist for everyone. So, as the audiotron reads the playlists and keeps them alphabetical it's possible now to use SNL to create an index of sorts. The remote contains jump keys which you can use to skip over the alphabetical sorted playlists.
I still have some work to do and reindexing when a new playlist is added could be quite a mare in itself. But I say it's totally feasable to use the pronto/SNL/audiotron combi.
It may take a while to get there, from the playlist selection, especially with 1500 albums, and the IR must be pointing at the audiotron whilst the selection takes place, but I think it will work.
I need to script a SNL CSV file from linux to re-map the playlists after every addition, then use windows to run SNL and import it into the pronto.

Craig,
I've got a couple of things that may help you. First, I wrote a utility to scan a directory tree reading the ID3 tags and writing a .csv file for importing into SNL.
If you've got a Windows machine, you can run this .exe as it is, or with some changes you ought to be able to recompile it on Linux if you have C experience.
Secondly, if you have a Windows box, my CD Player emulator may work for you. It reads infrared signals from your Pronto and then sends commands to the Audiotron via the network. Right now this program supports playlists, whole album playing, stop, pause, prev track and next track. Definitely early in the development stages, but it DOES work.
If you want more info, you can contact me at bpmcgee AT hotmail.com.
In any case, good luck,
Brian McGee
