DOSCab/WinCab Jukebox 3.0 Beta 5 Released
Reaper:
Well I got the 98 machine (the jukebox) and the XP machine (temporary file server/main machine) talking fine & maped a drive letter on the lappy (98) & sorted the path to said drive letter & fired up WinCab, it started going through the mp3s as usual but took ages (15 mins +) an then crashed! - any ideas what the problem might be? - I know it is a low spec machine (p120 with 32mb ram) but it usually plays mp3's fine. The only thing I think it could be is the way the files are stored, each album has its own folder, is this the problem?
Cheers

WinCab must actually load each MP3 file into memory to search the file for ID3 tags. Thus, during the initial indexing run you are moving massive amounts of data over the wire. If you set UseID3 to False in jukebox.ini, can you get through an indexing run?
Reaper:
not tried that, will have a look & get back to you :)
Chris:
You might also try running the jukebox once on the server and then copying the DATA folder over to the laptop. If your songs are in album folders inside artist folders, though, you should get excellent results with UseID3=False.

Reaper:
the songs are just in album folders, I have just started running again now, will post back when it finishes, one way or the other!
Cheers
