What do you think about Jukebox Jockey?

[JayShoemaker]

Hello Everyone,

I'm posting here today because I would like to get your feedback on the Jukebox Jockey Media Player. Jukebox Jockey was developed by the same developer who made Ultimate Jukebox and TouchTone Audio System. Many enhancements have been made to the new software to allow for greater customization, easier browsing functions, better user management, and more. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.

Any input is greatly appreciated! :-) What do you like? What don't you like? What do you think would make the software better? What do you like better about another jukebox application you are using?

Thank you,
Jay Shoemaker

Seems to be more DJ orientated from what i have read on that site.

Hello Barry and Unclet,

Thanks for taking a look! I see that you both have jukebox software yourselves... It does sound like this forum is very friendly about different jukebox options so thanks for the safe harbor...

It's interesting the you mentioned Jukebox Jockey as a "DJ application" because it's in many ways that is what it has become, but not entirely. The way I look at it is that a Jukebox is nothing more than a collaborative disc jockey application. Rather than one DJ picking the music, crowds pick the music. So Jukebox Jockey does have powerful functions built in that allow the crowd to "DJ" a party. (Collaborative DJing?)

Because of the user management features, you can keep Jukebox Jockey unlocked (for the DJ environment) or locked (for the jukebox environment) and there are various levels of being "locked". You can have any number of users. Each user can get access to any of the features depending on how it's configured. So the Administrator is the owner, the host is the person running the party, and the guest is the "requester". This helps to allow various control functions for various uses and purposes. You can just log in the right user for the environment you are plan on using it in.

Also, Because of our Random Play functions, Jukebox Jockey can pretty much DJ itself. You just add a playlist, genre, decade, or whatever you want to the random play filter and it will continue to play music, even when no requests have been made. When a request is made, it will play that next, and then automatically continue playing from the random play filter afterward. Because you can create a filter from almost anything in the system, you can pre-program it to play what you want.

So yes, it can be used as DJ software but it was designed as jukebox software. The power that it allows for in the DJ environment can be very useful in the Jukebox environment. This makes it possible for one device to become both a DJ machine, and a Jukebox. (of course playing music, video, and karaoke files all in the same queue).

Again, think about TouchTone and Ultimate Jukebox... Jukebox Jockey is very similar to those applications, but it's on steroids. Not DJ software... But certainly can be used to DJ with.

PS - Thanks for adding the link... And here is a screen shot.

Sorry to say but I think the $99 will deter people from buying for just a simple home Juke touchscreen program when there are multiple programs available that are much cheaper that are Home-Juke user friendly. Interface looks good and I'll probably try the demo anyway.

I totally agree. I gave the demo a full workout and although I like the interface and some of the customization options, I don't believe it's worth any more than $39.00 for home use.

First welcome om-board. You not that such a user that prate this is a best software and such, but do a pretty nice presentation of your software instead  .

The only downside of this software is the price tag, which is far higher than others software released here (for the home use of course, the price for the commerciel use is typical price) as well the drm used (that soon got cracked anyway).

This might might cause critics of some users.

I have my own jukebox/frontend software, not to been write here, since its not míne thread of course.

But welcome anyway and good luck with your software.

Hello Everyone!

We've lowered the price of our Home Use Edition to $39.95... Certainly not the lowest priced application on the market, but we believe that we are now within reach of those who want the power Jukebox Jockey has to offer. Now.... What do you think about the software's features!? I'd love to hear your input!

PS - A WikiHelp site is on the way to help users get our software setup the way they want. Jukebox Jockey is very configurable. So if you don't like it out of the box, please let me know. I'll help you get it setup.
