Jukebox in background?

(1/6) > >>

Zakk:
I wonder if this has been covered, I couldn't find a thread, but anyway...

 I usually set a cab up with Arcade Jukebox 8, and mamewah.  Now I have a buyer that wants a cab to be able to play music in the background while the game plays on the cab.  Okay, I can probably rig a way pretty easy to get mp3's to play randomly in the background, but I just "know" that I'm going to get a call "How do I turn off the music, it's getting annoying?"

Now this cab is going to be in a cottage some 5 hour drive from me, so I don't want to be driving there if I don't have to, so my qustion is this:  How would you guys set it up so that he could select the setup config, or even better, select the songs they want to hear, in the background while they play games (as opposed to just random play). If possible, I'd like it to configurable with the mamewah frontend, but not exit when I switch emulators...

Whew I talk too much :)   Any ideas guys?

Superdude:
I can tell ya how, but it will cost ya since my advice will be making you money.  

Zakk:
I'm sure that answer was more useful than any advice you could have given anyway.  Thanks.

Zakk:
For anyone who thinks like that guy, I'd just like you to know that the cabinets I do are mostly done for friends, family and people I know.  It's not a commercial venture, it's just a way to keep building cabs (read: it's my hobby).  For example, this cabinet in question is for my lawyer, a person I would like to keep on my good side, and hey I have wondered myself if there was a way to get the music to play while the games are running.   :-\

Generic Eric:
Maybe too invovled, but how about a second PC with a KVM switch in the cab.  My computer doesn't work, so I can't be of any help as far as programs and what not.

BTW
Is kinda funny you mention the Lawyer playing mp3s.  I trust he ripped them all himself and has the cds somewhere. ;)  LOL
