The reason for asking is that I have offered to provide the music at a Queen Fancy Dress party in a couple of weeks and the hosts want a mix of Queen and non-Queen tracks. The problem is that in radio play mode it seems to be playing many more non-Queen tracks than Queen tracks.

Radio mode just picks a random song, although if you have more than 40 songs in the jukebox it will not pick any of the last 20 songs played. I can do a quick hack for you to make it pick Queen songs more often, if that'll help...

Chris,
Thanks for the reply. No need for a hack, I was probably just "unlucky" with the random selection and assumed it might be trying to space out selections by artists.
IMO it might be better to have no repeat (until it has played them all) if it finds less than 20 songs though.
Best regards
Gary

Hi Chris, I have been working away on my skin and I will have something to show you a bit later. Then I had this evil thought. Having a real juke box downstairs I know some of the strange things that they do, so I checked your program to see if you had thought of this one. Select a song, select a second song, now select the second song again. What should happen is that your credit should go down by one but the song should not appear on the Coming Up list. I know that is a little quirky but I thought I would mention it to you. Of course, I am talking about mechanical juke boxes not the newer electronic ones.
I have been thinking about your idea of having random labels come up in Courier font. I really like this idea. I bounced this idea off a few friends of mine and they all thought is was great as we didn't see as many preprinted labels here, at least where I grew up you didin't.
Anyway I should download your new version and test away. :)

Hi Chris, Could you check something in the new Beta 4? When I type the G key I sometimes get a 7 and when I type the H key I somes get an 8. For example if I type FG the selection F7 is played.
