Simple, Freebox has had probably 3 dozen updates in the last 4 months since Nordbeat was last updated and has a fully active community. Barcrest actively makes enhancements and fixes and posts updated versions when needed.
$25 bucks for all the updates you can swallow on Freebox can't be beat.
Oh, and can't wait to see the results Kaytrim. :cheers:

I guess the number 1 reason not to go with nordbeat is that it is $50.00. But Im sure there are ways around it. Besides, I have no problem paying for good programs.

Hmm $50 compared to $25 well there is one reason to pick freebox over nordbeat.
As for only supporting MP3's that's not quite true. It also supports MP3+G, OGG, WMA and Videos. The next release will have support for reading more tags such as FLAC.
Just wanted to clear that up.

I knew I would get ganged up on here, but it's just my personal prefrence... I have both, just liked Nordbeat better.
as far as updates go... you are right, there are constant updates on freebox... but no offense I think they are needed. Nordbeat runs flawless and has hundreds of options on customizing what you want out of a juke. I'm not sure some of these people have even tried it....
Some of the nicer features are the auto fade from one song to the next, it can play radio, you can limit the same artist selected, but there are tons and tons of features... maybe I will do a video on just the admin menu screen. It's pretty cool. And like I said you can go right into it while the juke is still playing, it's really a time saver.
Anyway my cab running nordbeat... its not pretty, but it's small, runs excellent and sounds great.

I agree the price is steep, but I think it is well worth it. Sorry about being incorrect on the tags Barry, not my intention. Good to know flac is going to be supported.
