Yet Another Jukebox Program
mtn:
Hello,
All of my album art that I downloaded from Amazon is still kept in a folder. All of the album names say what was on it when downloaded for example, B0002OERI0.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg.
Will I need to rename all of these individually? I was hoping that when I had put these in Itunes there would be a folder that named them correctly using ID3 Tags. Do you know where they are stored in Itunes? I don't want to download new album work again over a phone connection.
When I don't use ID3 in Sk Jukebox the artist album name are not correct. Would you still recommend that I use ID3 Tag Info and the static Data Base. Thanks a lot for the help.

As long as the .jpg file is stored in the same folder as the album, that should be fine. If you read the readme.txt, it explains how it will look for the album art. As long as it has a .jpg extension and is in the same folder, it will work. If you are unsure as to where they are stored, just search your HDD for .jpg files. I have a feeling, however, that it may have actually stored the image inside of the MP3 files themselves. I have never used Itunes before, so I don't know for sure.
As for the program showing you the wrong information when you are not using ID3, look at the naming options available in the Options screen. How I have mine setup are '\artist\album\xx - song.mp3', where xx is a 2 digit track number.
It's not hard to keep the albums named correctly with a program like Tag&Rename. I have a couple thousand albums that I easily manage.
Anyway, I am unsure as to how your albums are setup, but hopfully this info is enough to give you an idea on how to get the most out of the program.

I also had problems with the app finding my folder.jpg files, regardless of the search rules published. I worked around the problem by copying folder.jpg to cover.jpg in all my album directories, and the program found these OK. I had a number of different *_large.jpg files as a result of using Itunes, windows media player, windows media centre and SKjukebox working on the same mp3 file collection which may have been confusing it.
Great jukebox program.
My wishlist would include full navigation by joystick alone (I am able to use a trackball as a mouse, so no big problem), and two buttons for up/down skipping a letter at a time rather than the jump function.
Keep up the good work. Paypal donation on the way.

Salmon King,
I have moticed the sound quality from your program sounds alot different than what comes from windows media player and some other jukebox programs! Try a song on yours and then play the same song through windows media player and you will see what i mean! Let me know what is going on. It just doesn't have the punch that the other programs have it sounds weak and low.
A few things that would be nice with your program is to add a EQ, make the program skinnable and a way to select between genres of music or select between librarys.
Thanks,
DigitalDj

You wouldn't happen to have an "Enhancement" plugin active in your Windows Media Player would you? Something like SRS WOW? If these other jukebox programs use the windows media player as there sound player, they are probably using any plugins you have active in your media player.
