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
