Rowe CD 100B Album Play Question
Hello- I have a Rowe CD 100B Juke. My question is this:
When I select a cd to play as an album, should all the tracks play in order( 1,then 2 next, 3 next etc..) ? I have the juke set for album play, and have set the CCC for all track play, but what happens is it randomly plays the tracks on the cd. It does play all tracks on the album, but just not in order. Been reading and reading the manual, but i see no mention of the way the album option should play. Any thoughts ? Thanks-Dennis. |

You could go through the menus, see if there is an "order of play" setting - set to FIFO (First in first out). This MAY have something to do with it as if an album is selected, we don't know what order the tracks are written into the "queue" by the software. What version of software do you have ? maybe this happened in some of the earlier versions ? I have never seen a CD 100 do this. |

I would be interested in knowing which version of software is in your machine - perhaps I need to update mine...

Latest version I have seen is ver 4.3, though haven't seen any obvious differences from ver 3. 6 (3.6 is in wide use from what I have seen, apparently was designed to auto load Australian pricing as default) Versions 2 x would be very old, one of the first CD100s I bought in the early 1990s had that installed. One revision I do recall in the mid 1990's was to allow the popular button to be disabled or enabled. Usually I disable at as if its on party hire and someone puts an entire album on, it takes forever to cancel out all the tracks, assuming anyone realises what has happened - and people get annoyed. I think other ROM changes increased the page limit numbers for machines like CD MM1 series, Eagle and Berklee that had a single "book" but with more pages compared to the upright models. There was also some other "bug" around the mid 1990's that involved tracks with a run-time longer than 7 minutes. If one of these was playing and either you cancelled it, or the power was interrupted or something like that, the disc would end, but would sit on the player and not go back up to the rack, and the transfer arm would have to be manually wound back to the up position or something weird like that. It was not a nice thing. Stairway to Heaven (or some similar and very popular) long-playing track like this was a common cause. Setting maximum time limits for tracks was the only cure for this until the bug was fixed. There was another bug involving the "berklee" type wallboxes (the ones without a mechanism that would act as a remote selector) whereas if you made more than about 4 selections in one go, it could randomly "lose" them. The earlier CD-51 wall boxes were not affected by this as they transmit the selection number to the master machine immediately it is selected, whereas the "berklee" type hold them internally and only transmit one at a time, once a song finishes playing. For this reason, any juke in commercial use should be upgraded to at least the 3.x series. For party hire use - I always just put on 9999 credits, usually to see how many plays people make in the time its hired, (usually 3-400 as it turns out). Usually I forget to renew it and tend to put it back to 9999 every few months when it starts getting down never tried the "free" setting for some reason. |

On album play, I have to press the first 2 digits of the CD, then your supposed to press the "popular" button to select "album play" .not 00 after the CD numbers as I first mentioned. I tried 6500 and it said "not allowed" then I rember to hit 65~popular then it works. But now I have another question , the CD does play tracks in order now ( IE 1, 2, 3and so on), but after one track is done playing, then the mech lifts the CD off the player, and put's it right back on for the next song/track on the same CD. I assumed that it should play the entire CD with out having to read the disc every time in between each track. Is this the way there supposed to work ? This is my first Rowe CD juke, and I am not real familiar with the propper sequence of operation yet. By the way, I went back and re-read the section of the manual again, and found that I had set the paid play option (690) for "FIFO' but had not set the free play setting (691) for "FIFO" it was still set as Random play. So now I do have album play on both free play or pay play settings. Happy to at least have it set correct and playing now !!! OK, would there be any advantage for me to look for a newer CCC with a higher software version, this juke will probably never see commerical use again. I got lucky, I am the 2nd owner since new. Nice clean jukebox. Dennis. |

Nice clean jukebox. Dennis. Hi Dennis, Ah, that works for me too CD number then 'Popular' give one the whole album while on Free Play. The Lift & Replace allows other selections to be played and then it goes back to the Album CD...tested that just now on our Rowe - selected an album, while it was playing made a single selection of another CD. When the playing album CD finished the song, it then went to the newly selected CD, played that track and went back to the album CD and continued from where it left off. It does seem to pick up and replace the CD for every track on the album play...
