Control4 Ipod Dock - Programmatically choose playlist?

[dougw246]

I just got a new Control4 IPod Dock. Everything works fine, however, I want to program a button for my wife to start playing her iPod with her playlist. I can see how to start the iPod and begin playing, but I do not see how to dictate a playlist. Thoughts or tips?

Thanks,

Doug

When study button 1 is pressed

(then, in the Actions Panel on the right, select the room you want the audio to play in, say the kitchen for instance)

This will allow you to select the media you want to start//play.

I understand how to play the iPod in a given room. I want to be able to define a specific iPod playlist to be selected, shuffled and played when I hit the button.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I do not have my system installed yet.

If the music files is in a NAS drive or USB drive, can you not make a playlist via ComposerME or HE and program a button to play that playlist? Is this just an iPod question or this also cannot be done via NAS or USB drive?

^yes, you can. I don't have an iPod dock or I'd check for this guy.

I have several buttons that select a specific play list, so I know it's possible using the standard "digital audio".

Dan, I do not have an Ipod dock to check, but I did not think it picked up playlists in composer (director),

If it does it would be easy.

But I think it only picks up control 4 and rhapsody playlists.

(I will be happy to be wrong)
