Title: Need some assistance - buttons and a good program
Post by: Marinewolfohbc on July 11, 2012, 04:01:37 am
Good evening folks,

New to this forum, been poking around a bit and thought I'd just ask for some opinions.  As a first project, decided I wanted to build a small, NON-touchscreen jukebox using a bartop cabinet design.  I'm having a little bit of issues with two things though:

1)  A good program for the jukebox.  I've debated going through the stickied forum and just downloading them all and giving them a run through, but I was hoping to get some solid opinions from folks who might have done something similar.  As I stated, its non-touchscreen.

2)  Good pushbuttons for a juke.  I've had a hard time finding arrow style push buttons and numeric ones.  Any suggestions on where to find these?

Thanks for the input, folks!

I'm currently using SKJukebox. The thing I like about it is that you can use a touchscreen or keyboard. And you can change the keybooad shortcuts if you like. On my HTPC I use Eventghost to map the most important functions to my remote.

I would use a touchscreen then you do not have to add physical buttons.  Touchscreens are much cooler than loads of buttons IMHO.

TOUCHJAMS - 50 bucks excellent juke program and fully skinable well worth the money  , this is what i use and highly recommend it , ive experienced no bugs and i believe it to be the best program ive used  , and i think ive trialled nearly all of them at somepoint

skg jukebox - free , not a bad  juke program although not skinable and a little buggy last time i used it

as far as buttons go if you search my threads i have some pics on there somewhere and should have a link to where i bought the buttons , im a mixture of touch and buttons

also a griffin powermate is a great volume control with 6 features you can map too , ie short push in long push in push in right and left etc
a must i think on any jukebox , very stylish and a must i think
