The reason for the change was that the former didn't work well with my touchscreen. I didn't mind paying for the program that I wanted, but even so, I could only find two that I was interested in - Jukebox Arcade and E-Touch. E-Touch however has too many features that I did not want to use (from what I remember, these were all internet features), and as I couldn't find a way to remove these, I decided I would not like looking at all the unused features available on the screen. So I didn't purchase a copy of it and went for the other option. I may of picked Jukebox Arcade regardless in the end though.
I made it perfect by downloading a skin provided here http://forums.hackaday.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=61&start=10. This skin removed a couple of unwanted buttons ("setting" and "about"), plus a few logos, as well as increasing the size of each CD image by a very attractive amount.
I think Jukebox Arcade is brilliant, it is even free!

+1 !!! :applaud:
Installed it last year after playing around with some other jukeboxes. Had some things I didn't like. So I asked the author and he said that almost everything I wanted (or not) could be done within the theme-file (XML) After some time looking into it and playing around I could change it the way I needed it. You can edit, add or remove everything on the screen and the options inside the software are very powerful, too. Of course it can be controlled with a touchscreen (works great!!) but can also be controlled by keys (can be changed). It supports windows screensaver. They can be adjusted in the options. It displays covers, they have to be inside the directory with the songs, named folder.jpg
Of course, no light without shadow:
* there is no search function. All you can do is set the first letter and it displays only the artists beginning with that letter
* getting your music sorted can be very annoying. What does it do? It looks into the MP3-tags and sorts them by artists and album names. If you have (like me) let's say 5 Foreigner songs in one directory then you have to edit the tags to ONE unique album name (I use '-' instead of a name). Otherwise you might end with five different covers, if your 5 songs are from 5 different albums.
It took a while to work everything out but now it's simply great. While "shadow nr.2" is not a problem any more, the poor search function is a real pain :-\
BUT if you can live with that...it's IMHO the best Jukebox software around :)

One note about album art, any good MP3 tagger will find (or at least ease the process of finding) album art online, but the key is that they should +insert the album art into the tags of the MP3+.
That way, once you've properly tagged all your mp3's, you just have to back them up, not the jukebox software db, whatever it might use. That's because the MP3 set (and each mp3's cooresponding tags should contain pretty much everything necessary (including art) to rebuild the juke DB, no matter what juke app you use.
