Virtual Jukebox 2.0 Beta

<< < (2/3) > >>

BobA:
I want to thank Scott for one of the best (for my uses) jukebox programs I have ever seen.  

Now on to what I have been doing wrong.  I am running Windows 98 SE which I has been a problem.

I  just added the exe and deleted the ini for my original install.  This gave me a program that ran but did not show any albums after I set the library again. I then saw Scott's newest post and tried again.

When I ran the new setup (on a clean directory) as recommended I found that even my older vjb 1.0.87 would not run because it was looking for and not finding msdxm.ocx.  I moved the downloaded from prior info msdxm.ocx to my windows system directory and things ran again.  I still did not have any albums showing and changing the order of the albums gave me a runtime error.

I went added and deleted libraries and nothing worked.
I then went to the JUKEBOX menu and noted that the last library that I had added was listed there.   I clicked on that entry and everything worked great.

I dont ever remember having to specifically add the library in the JUKEBOX menu as the program would reload the library when I left the options menu.   I guess most of the problem was due to dumb operator error in this case but I thought I would pass it on just in case someone else is in the same boat.

VMJ Team:
Added another features requested by a user...Random mode:  Allows the user to specify a time and number of songs to play after a period of inactivity.  I also realized that many registered users and shareware users have gotten ahold of the beta version executable (which is perfectly OK...the more people trying it out, the better), but please realize that if you are not set up as one of the original beta testers...you may be missing some necessary files and receive many of the errors mentioned in this board.  If you receive errors and are not sure if it is because of this reason...please email me directly at programmer@cybertechdesign.net.  I will either get you set up to use the newer version or correct the problem immediately.

I've posted some pics of some user's projects and Virtual Jukebox setups on the mameroom website under Other News.

Check it out at :  http://www.mameroom.com

If I used your pictures/project and you don't wish them to be listed, please let me know and I'll remove them.  

Thanks

Sweet, mines listed, I gotta get you some better pics though. Its just not right having a hose in the background in the garage.

VMJ Team:
New feature added (needs testing too).  PLAYLISTS

To create a new playlist, go to the File pull down menu and select Create Playlist.  You will be prompted for a playlist name.  The playlist will be created as an album in the current library.  

Here's the messy part which I'm working on making better (suggestions would be taken into consideration).  To add tracks to the playlist...you must first find out the playlist album number.

Add songs to the selection list.  When you are ready to add the selected song or songs to the playlist....enter the 3-digit playlist album number and "99" for the track (example: "01499").  All of the selected songs will be added to the playlist.

You can now select individual songs from the playlist or play the entire list by using the playlist album number and "00" for the track.

This feature needs to be developed more for easier use...so play around with it and let me know your thoughts.

Thanks.
