Graphic/playback bug?

Odd that a system so powerful would exhibit skipping like that. I need to go through that section and see if I have a test reversed or something.

I really need to add .png support... I'll try to get it in next version.

Up to this point, most of my music files have been all lumped together in one HUUUGE dir, and as I understand, it would be better if I put albums in their own dirs, I'm just not looking forward to doing it all manually :)

Ouch. This woud be fine for the classic mode, but for album mode it's a killer; I can't think of how to find the album art this way...
How are you naming all those album covers you've downloaded, and where are they?
--- Quote ---This is a pretty slick jukebox frontend however...and it even has support for touchscreen I think Dew said?

Touchscreen support is available in DOS and Windows XP. It is not available in Windows 95, 98, or ME. I do not know if it works in 2000 or not.

No bother at all!

Zakk:
No worries about the .png support, jpgs are probably better to have in the long run.
I've started the long task of splitting the albums into directories, with the album art named folder.jpg
Now I have noticed that the jukebox will sometimes split the files again into albums, in the GUI. For example, I might have 10 songs in an album directory, but when it comes up in the jukebox, it notices that one song is from another album, and places it on its own, with the same album art. Does it get that from teh ID tags? I ask because I might have a bunch of songs from one artist, but only a couple of songs from each album they made...if I lump them into a directory called 'greatest hits', I wouldn't want it to split it into 6 albums in the GUI (although it is a nice feature). If I use a proggy like shuffleplay to rename the 'album' tags to 'Greatest Hits', would that do it?
As for touchscreen support, I'm sure DOS or XP would be fine if I ever get this done and build a nice juke for out by the pool!! :)

Yes. The wording of the album name isn't identical to the others on the odd one out.

"Greatest Hits" is handled special. When it sees a "Greatest Hits" album, it uses both the artist AND album name to create the GUI albums, but this behavior can be disabled.
Zakk:
Ah, cool. I have ever so slowly been going through close to 10,000 songs (literally!) and working with the ID tags. Not to mention the time spent looking for the album art. I figure it will be worth it when I get around to getting an iPod, and eventually doing up the juke. Now to look into prices on touchscreens!!!
