Commercial coin-op jukebox

(1/5) > >>

Ram Puss:
I'm interested in building an MP3 jukebox for a local bar.  I've never done anything like this before, but am somewhat computer saavy, and  know decent carpenters who could build a cabinet.  

There's some good info here, but most of it seems intended for home systems, not coin ops.  Also, one reason an MP3 jukebox appeals to me is that it could be more single-oriented, like the old 45 jukeboxes.  My digital box is going to have Pass the Dutchie on it, but there's no way I would put a whole Musical Youth album in a CD box.  VMJ looks like great software, for albums, but what do you recommend for singles?

Thanks,
RP

They plan on using their own MP3s or what? Cuz downloaded MP3s wouldn't be legal.

AlanS17:
Well Arcade Jukebox can be set to accept money, is skinnable, and works well with singles...

But even if they use the MP3s they rip from their own CD's, it still wouldn't be legal cuz the license agreement for the music doesn't include redistribution with compensation.

Ram Puss:
Thanks for the feedback.  I should have mentioned that I'm in Belize, Central America.  All the CDs and DVDs sold here are bootleged.  Legitimate, imported media simply is not available.  Even the cable company is broadcasting hijacked signals from the US.  

The 100 CD Jukebox I want to replace has 90-95 pirated CDs in it.  The bar down the street has exclusively bootlegs in their jukebox.  That's the situation... I might as well do something creative with it.

I'll check out Arcade Jukebox, and let you know what I think.

RacerX:
I need to move to Belize.  All the pirated stuff you could ever want, and NO income tax, either!!!   ;)

Oh, yeah, I use WinCab Jukebox.  It's great, and is "singles oriented".
