Here in the USA converting a jukebox to use MP3's is illegal and not authorized by A.S.C.A.P. It is considered copyright infringement by the courts here. However, I believe it's ok in other countries.

True, but if you pick up an old Jukebox for home use, this would be a great project to do.

Also, it's only illedgal if you didn't license the MP3's, there would be nothing wrong using your own MP3's made from your own CD's (for a home project), or using music that's in the public domain. At least here in the US, at this point it time.

  hi, the unit i have built are used in mexico, and i now have a agreement with mexican RIA they charge me 2 dollars per song per year, and im allowed to distribute legal content for the converted jukeboxex

You're lucky in that respect, but here in the USA lawyers are having a field day on music copyrights.

Well here in mexico is the same, but if you go and negotiate with the RIA before they get to you you might get lucky and get a permit, as now im the 4th person in mexico who can not only use, but distribute mp3's and videos, for digital jukeboxes.
