Yet Another Jukebox Program
surf:
Just a suggestion, when you finally implement the random sorting, would it be possible to have a single key to change from alphabetical to random while the program is running? Having the selections come up at random is great for a party, but sometimes you want to find a particular artist without completely exiting the program or pulling up another menu....
I don't know if this is a bug or not, or if it will make sense, but...
My controls are set up with left and right to scroll one page, and up and down to scroll to the next letter... when I try to scroll to the next letter (by pushing up), say A-B, it hangs on the first B until I push left to scroll to the next page. It will scroll thru the B's until the next C, then I have to page it (push left) again...Moving backwards (pushing down) works great without stopping...
Finally, any thoughts on updating the screensaver?
Keep up the great work, SK Jukebox rocks!

I'll see what I can do about that sorting change. The Random sorting IS done, but I'll add a key to switch in between modes.
Might be something grabbing focus, stopping me from being able to detect the keystroke.....
Not really....I'm happy with the way it is. I can't get the visualizations that show in the main screen into the screensaver, but other than that I haven't thought much about upgrading it (apart from maybe allowing font/image size changes, etc).

I've only been playing with this jukebox program for a week, but loving it.. I have a few thiings to report if you want to know about it. Hopefully, it's not a repeat of something someone else may have noticed.
1) I was playing with the credits.. and everytime you reload with existing credits the credits display as 0 although it's not really 0. The credits seems to be there, but shows up as 0. This is only realized when u add more credits or add a track.
2) Also relating to credits, if you have existing credits and go into options 'o' screen and exit to main screen the existing credits are completely gone.. back to 0 and here it's really 0.
3) I believe someone mentioned in a previous posts that multiple instances of the program were encountered.. well I've had this happen quite a number of times in addition to the program not really or so it seems unable to shutdown with 'q' or 'Ctrl-q'. I'm not quite sure, but i think it shuts down and restarts. It seems happen so quickly that it appears as not having shutdown.
4) Not sure if your jukebox program supports EAX.. I'm using a Creative Audigy sound card and it seems that once EAX is enabled.. and a track is played, upon completion EAX is completely disabled along with any associated settings. I think what's happening here is that the sound device probably gets disabled? Because when I go into Creative's EAX console after it stops working.. everything is blank and sometimes i get a message of no valid device found. The moment I shutdown the jukebox program, everything is back to normal and EAX is re-enabled. If I don't shutdown and play another track, it seems to play visually, but no sound outputs. I've tries a number of other media players and this problem doesn't occur, only with the jukebox program.
5) I think your new screensaver still has a bug in it somewhere? Even though the screensaver setting is set to option 3 (scrolling) it sometimes displays a popup message of can't find .jpg.
Anyways, those a just a few things I've noticed while playing with the jukebox software. Otherwise, great work so far and happy holidays.

1) Hmmm...wasn't aware the credits were saved between sessions. Will look into it....
2) OK, that should be an easy fix. Just won't clear the credit count when you come out of there (the program totally re-initializes for the new settings)
3) That should be fixed in the next version....I hope! ;)
4) That would be the fault of the control I use to play the music. It seems to lock the sound card, as well as any CD drives in some instances. I will get the latest version & distribute it with the next version. Hope that will cure some of these problems.
5) Can you let me know the exact message you are getting there? AFAIK, there's no message that will display related to loading jpg's
As for having a good xmas....I'll try & same to you :D

Hi SK,
Thanks for your reply.. I have a few corrections to make and I've been doing some additional testing -
1) I said 'reload', but I actually meant 'Refresh' album list (F5).
2) I said go into options screen 'o' and exit out.. but I actually meant go into and upon doing a Save.. the problem is experienced.
4) I've been playing around with the mp3 controls you use in the jukebox software.. doing some homework to help you out. :) I downloaded the demo controls and the EAX problem isn't experienced with their demo app -- even while using the current ocx u have distributed. However, the problem is experienced in your jukebox software despite using the ocx that came with the demo controls.
5) Ignore this. It was a windows problem.
Can I make 1 suggestion regarding the track numbers displayed alongside track titles? Albums with less than 10 tracks have single digit track numbers.. would it make sense to pad it waith a leading 0? It's just that once you get accustomed to typing a leading 0 for all other albums with 10+ tracks you do the same when you come across those that are less than 10 tracks. It's as if you don't even think twice before typing it in. Perhaps it's just me.. And for those using touchscreen, this change wouldn't really affect them. Also, would you consider adding a dash between the track number and the track title? Ex. 01 - Track Title . It would make the display look so much better and easier to spot track numbers. Seems a but bunched up with the track title. I know space is limited, but hopefully 3 additional chars. will not make a big difference (2 spaces included).
Anyhow, thanks for your previous response and I hope the additional bit of info helps.
