Interactive mode problem
Steve G:
The problem you are having with the Interactive mode is purely that you are punching in the numbers too quickly.
If you select one number, then wait for it to appear on the screen and then select the next number everything will be OK :)

Thanks Steve G! That was the problem. Would be nice if that didnt happen though =)
Next question is about scrolling down a list of songs that dont fit on the screen. How can i do that? Keyboard only =)
Thanks
Steve G:
Yes, I see your problem.
When I build my jukebox I don't want to have to use a mouse, but your right there does not seem to be a way to scroll down the list without one !
There is an option for selecting keys to 'Scroll Up' and 'Scroll Down' but I can't seem to get them to do anything.
CyberPunk can you help ??
VMJ Team:
I'm on it...I'll see what I can come up with.

For the group of us that are building jukeboxes with no mice here's an idea for the too many songs problem. Why not have VJ generate another albumn if the track list gets too long automatically. As an example. If say you can display 9 tracks on one albumn screen, if an albumn has say 11 songs then just generate another albumn using the same albumn cover and the 2 (or 3 if you use the 00 select all tracks option) extra songs. Doing it this way would eliminate the need to scroll down the list and it would also eliminate any housekeeping as far as directory structure of the mp3 list.
I did this manually and it was a big pain but the result was nice. I store my mp3 by alphabet letter/artist/albumn. I just made /albumn1 and /albumn2 and put a copy of the albumn cover in both directories. This approach works great with VJ but makes finding songs in other applications a little more difficult (now what dir was that in 1 or 2?). If VJ could do this when it generated its own database list, it would make mp3 organization a little less cluttered. It would also eliminate the need for adding extra control buttons to the jukebox (like if a "digital scroll" was implemented.) I am currently retrofitting an old jukebox with VJ ala planetjay and I would like to keep the outside shell as "authentic" as possible. I think this solution would also help the touch screen users out there as well.
