I'm confused as to how to select the iTunes playlist to use with the Timer with BM-Link. The instructions on Anders' website are:

 "For N.MUSIC the program option means which playlist to start playling. The Library playlist is number 1. For N.RADIO the program options means which channel in the N.RADIO playlist to play."

Where does one access the option to select "program"? I can't find this anywhere in the BM-Link control panel under system preferences. I also can't find this on the menu of my BeoCenter 2. Do I need a software update to my BeoCenter 2 to select the "program" for N.Music on the Timer?

Not sure how to do it on the BeoCenter 2, when I wrote that documentation, I had the menu system of the MX8000 in mind, since that was the TV I used as a master in my system. And it had a "program" option.

After reading the user guides for the BeoCenter 2 and for other audio masters, it seems that the only source that can get a specific program number with the Timer is "Radio" (however, the Beosound 9000 also allows setting a channel for "TV" and "SAT"). Perhaps you could add this function with future releases of BM-Link so that we could select the playlist to be used with the Timer via the BM-Link control panel on the computer? Currently, I have to re-tag whatever song(s) that I want to play with the Timer by creating artist and album names with spaces in front of the actual name.
