Devospeed-- Very nice to meet you... I'm actually sitting in Schenley Plaza in Oakland at this very moment... free outdoor wifi
Thanks for the kind words, I put a lot of thought into the design. Simple/understated is best for this type of software IMHO. I've been in touch with some papers around here so you might be seeing some coverage of my software in the local press soon (hopefully).
leapinlew-- Thank you, I appreciate the encouragement and honest feedback. As I said, I recognize that some people will download my software and think it's exactly what they are looking for, others won't. I'm okay with that. My software is designed to be controlled by a keyboard/keypad, so I'd rather do an outstanding job at that than try to be everything to everyone. Personally, I prefer buttons/keys over touchscreens because it feels more like using a real analog jukebox. One thing I am adding support for: I am definately going to make the keys re-mappable for the next release, which will hopefully be within the next couple of weeks. I'd love to see my software in use on someone's homemade jukebox cabinet.
Space Fractal-- It means a lot to me to see that another jukebox programmer understands where I am coming from with this software... thank you very much. You are right about the reasons that touchscreen and dual monitors are not supported.
I actually use wmp.dll right now, so I could easily add support for WMA and a few others. However, I don't think it supports ogg or flac. I have heard good things about bass.dll, so I was planning on looking into it.
My only issue is this: As of right now, when importing someone's music library, Nowtro Jukebox looks at each file's ID3 tag and file name, as well as the existing list of artists, and tries to automatically detect the artist name and song title for that track. This allows people to import their music library as quickly as possible while keeping it highly organized. If I started supporting other formats without embedded information like ID3 tags, I think it would very difficult to automatically detect the names of the artists and songs for users who do not use the C:\Artist\Album\Song.ogg structure (which is probably a lot). So, these people would have to manually enter the information for all of their music files, which would be a terrible chore.
