Don't you also think that VMJ has caught alot of flack because it was one of the first Jukebox Programs out there and it was all about getting the bugs worked out. I remeber the time when a new program came out that pretty muck copied the idea of VMJ and guess what it was called SK Jukebox. What prgrammers have learned is what bugs there would be because VMJ had to experience them. In my opinion VMJ opened the doors to make it easier for everyone else. All any of you have to do is just think about it.
This is not really true at all on 2 counts....
1) If it was the first that would mean it has had the longest development time, hence it should be far more stable than the newer applications just by the sheer amount of time that should have been spent on it. Likewise i could go on to say it should have the best feature set but that is objective.
2) I only found out about VMJ after i had already written my software and i have tried several of the demos and they didn't work with various errors. SK Jukebox wouldn't read tags for me either but as it was free i didn't see an issue with it and i have even released source code on here that would have fixed that issue. I wrote my software because i brought thePCJukebox which also became unsupported and so i wrote my own. Which is why SK Jukebox came about he was a frustrated VMJ customer.
I would almost bet that some code I gave away is what is being used in LedWiz because it is almost impossible to find a programmer that can pull it off. I didn't mind to share or trade some code with a fellow forum member.
Dude you want to watch what you are saying here. If that LEDWIZ code is nothing like yours, and lets be honest sound to light isn't rocket science (I have mada BETABRITE display dance to music, i have a youtube video) he might be in a possition to demand an appology or take legal action. As for you giving it away IIRC you asked for someone to code that for you, i thought it was SK but i might be wrong. You are now implying you wrote it.
I just recently downloaded Multijuke and had problems with it so it can be any software. I purchased a database program a few years ago to use for my Dj Business and music collection and had problems with it and by the time the got the issues straightened out they changed some of the search criteria. I paid $100.00 for that software and never agian will I pay that without trying it first.
Ok 2 issues here,
1) If you have paid for something it should work as advertised so they should have fixed your problem or offered a refund.
2) In regards to VMJ as this thred is, people did try before they brought it. The demo was limited to the number of songs/albums you could use and it was only when used properly (Full version, they had paid) that the bugs/issues came to light.
People are how people are treated!
This is why people are so off with VMJ. Go back on this very thred, it wasn't me telling people to try other software but VMJ's own customers who have been treated so badly they are now treating Mameroom with the same level of contempt......
I have a feeling we might see an announcement regarding your lights and mameroom real soon, i could be wrong but only time will tell.
