money money money
AlanS17:
Are there any other jukebox program besides Arcade Jukebox that actually accept money? I'm not as interested in actually making money as I am worried about the authentic feel of the machine. Also, are there any programs that let you choose a song by typing in a number rather than selecting it with a joystick (more like a real jukebox).
I haven't jumped in too deep yet, but it seems the majority of the jukeboxes (at first glance) are just full-screen mp3 players with playlists and not like real jukeboxes. Am I wrong? Can someone point me in a good direction? I'm looking for something with big words that look less like playlists, a nice no-frills GUI, no volume control, no equalizer, none of that. Or if it has it, then at least make them hideable and totally inaccessible without intention.
I actually like Arcade Jukebox, but I would prefer some sort of visuals if possible. Or if possible... Instead of selecting directly from a list, just offer scrolling arrows and allow the option to use a number pad (like a real jukebox).
Does anybody see where I'm coming from? Can anybody help? My actual programming skills are very very basic, but I may be able to manage modifying an existing program if I have to (though I feel like there has to be something out there already).

The latest version of DOSCab Jukebox will do all of this; I'll try to put up a page on it tonight. Here's a screenshot of not quite the latest version...

The current version looks similar, but with an extra display showing the number of selections remaining, and a line showing how many songs are in the queue and the total time of all songs in the queue. It supports up to 4 coin slots and can credit a different number of selections for each slot. No audit functions, so it's strictly "for amusement only", and the coin feature can be disabled.
This is a DOS program. I will hopefully have a Windows version working by this weekend, no doubt called WinCab Jukebox.

Okay, here's a more up-to-date screenshot:

i'm anxiously waiting to see your windows version. other than not having a skinnable background, your program is the nicest looking out there, too bad I haven't had a chance to use it yet :(
Chris:
Skinnable background is coming!
I have the Windows version working now, but since Windows doesn't need a pre-generated song list to avoid LFN problems, I'm modifying it to read the files directly at start-up.
I want to get the skinnable background and vertical orientation working this weekend, but that's actually going to take a complete rewrite of the main loop.
