Looking for jukebox software recommendation for thousands of albums & 21" monito

[quarterback]

I have a gazillion mp3s and I'm looking to set up my upright cab with 21" monitor as a jukebox for the room it's in.

I'm working with DWJukebox for my 15" touchscreen, but I really need an easy way to find artists/songs without having to scroll one page at a time.   I downloaded the demo of Nordbeat's jukebox and while I find some of the million options to be confusing, the interface seems to work well for a setup with a lot of songs.  You can sort by album or artist or genre or even year, I believe.  On my monitor it will show somehting like 24 albums at a time.  You select an album and then you click the song to add it to the playlist.

In the 'artist' view, it lists 36 artists per page and in all views it has both a column of all the letters in the alphabet, so you can jump ahead, and also a slider which will take you through the pages of each letter (Mi, Mo, Mu etc) It appears that eJukebox (which I haven't yet tried) has a similar setup, but both of these apps are $50+

This is going to be used with basically a mouse and 2-buttons and this kind of setup really makes manuevering/scanning through a large number of albums pretty easy.   What are my other options for jukes that will (a) show that many album choices at once (b) allow me to scan through artist, genre, year etc and (c) have an alphabetic control in addition to just forward and back?

Thanks

Awesome!   It's not "perfect" for all the functions I want, but it sure is close and really seems to work well.   Even the free demo version will probably keep me happy for a while.

Thanks Radish

I have never tested my own software (MultiJuke) with large libraries like this.

I have recently in v1.08 have added a spinner + 2 button option for the alternative Jukebox GUI (MultiJuke have 2 GUI: Arcade GUI, Jukebox GUI) to scroll trough all albums (which use smooth scrolling instead of normally page flipping) and have some find features. I do hope all crash bugs is fixed in v1.09, since there was couble of them in 1.08.

I think in MultiJuke, you might need to split your collection into smaller libraries (Example like genre or such), so it bring down number of albums shown at once here and you should use some such of File Mask instead of ID3 tags.

Other option is to tryout Freebox.
