has an itunes plugin, that can import your itunes.xml, but also has it's own db management. i'm really surprised more people don't use it in a jukebox. it's a great free media center, with a lot of support. if you have interenet access to your juke, there are scripts and plugins that add functionality. lyrics script for one, can grab lyrics from lyricwiki.com for the currently playing song. plus the video section handles a lot of formats. no drm though.
i'm currently working on a plugin for mame for it.
edit: forgot, it has support for kareoke.

Thanks nuka, although I think the lack of drm support is the issue. I know a lot of new itunes stuff has no drm (apparantly), but at the moment most of what we have will have.
nuka1195:
there's always ways to use your itunes collection fairly. google fairuse itunes
but yeah drm is an issue.

I've decided to stick with the Touchtone software for now, and managed to get it configured pretty much how I think it should be. There's one or two things it doesn't do (like YouTube access, which would be cool, especially for hard-to-find old music), but it's pretty solid it seems.
The youtube vid is pretty budget, but I used my phone to record it, but should give an idea of how the whole thing works.

It turned out very good.
Can you get a video of a walk around, showing the cabinet front and back?

Thanks DaOld Man! I will see what I can do in the coming days. I blew a speaker last night while tweaking the sound :( - good job we didn't use an obsolete set of speakers... :banghead: So I'm pretty pissed off - there was one set on eBay (UK) of the speakers we used, and they are going for too much money. We'll see.
In other news,

You will have to show us some pics of the album, I wanna know what a $450 album looks like! :)

Looks well packaged:
And well wrapped:
And a funky little drawstring bag (exciting, isn't it...)
At first glance, I'm really pleased, but. The gold leaf is not fckng parallel with the cover :banghead: - it looks OK in the pic, but it runs down to the right about 1mm
And the calligraphy, really pleased with it :)
Overall, it will do, but I just think I'm sounding off 'cos of the speaker. Oh well. Still got two weeks to fix.
