iPod Jukebox
« on: March 30, 2007, 08:06:15 pm »
I've built a couple of dedicated juke cabs now, with great success..... however
My teenage kids just don't take to it.

No matter how much of there awful music I put on it, they keep telling me they are old dinosaur machines.

THEN... The kids come out with " can't you make a jukebox.. that we just plug our  iPod into"

So I was thinking... not a bad idea..... a cab with an ipod interface.

Well ... has it been done... or can it be done..

A cab shell...... with a screen... and audio built in... and some control buttons... with some sort of docking station

Freebox should do it if you put the ipod into disc mode and build the databas off the ipod. However you will not have album art

Just build a overgrown IPod with sound system built in. Otherwise you'll have to study the Ipod for how anything can interface with it. I do know they make screens for them for watching movies so that means a screen can be interfaced. As for anything else you would have to search the net.

Here's a link on interfacing audio to an ipod.  I was looking at these for an automotive solution a few months back.

If they love Ipod so much, just give them a mic in port.  They can use that wonderful wheel to play their music
