My First Post and Project
« on: June 16, 2018, 04:22:44 am »
Hi Everyone,
Been browsing these forums for years and have learned a lot from them.

This is my first project.
A JukeBox for my sisters Pub, Old NSM cabinet, converted to PC based Jukebox
SPECS:
HARDWARE.
AMD Intel Dual Core 2.6ghz.
4 GB Ram.
iiyama TF1932MC Prolite 19" LED Touchscreen.
Money Controls SR3 coin acceptor.

SOFTWARE.
Windows XP.
Coinkit.
TouchJams Jukebox.

After months of testing different Jukebox software i came across Touchjams, absolutly fantastic, does everything you need and more. It is continualy updated by the developer, Bob Matura and he is always willing to help with any problems that may occur.
The software has worke flawlessly in a commercial enviroment for 6 months now
and would highly recomend it.

Cheers
Tony Neen

Cool project.

Like yourself I love TouchJams.
Bob is awesome !
I designed a skin for TouchJams and recently retooled a logo for it.
I love it, I use it on a 23" Gateway all in one touchscreen PC.
It's awesome !

I like your project...love the 2 monitor set up.

But is Touchjams licensed for commercial use? In the USA there's all kinds of copyright licenses needed for commercially located jukeboxes. Here you have to deal with ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC to pay them their copyright "fees" .
