Also, I keep checking the Window 8 store in hopes that someone will make a touchscreen jukebox for Windows 8 PC's. Still waiting.

Check out Media Player Remote (https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=SmartphoneRemote#?t=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLDEsImNvbS5zbWFydHBob25lcmVtb3RlLm1wcmVtb3RlIl0.

Meeting a guy tonight to buy a (yet unproven) 12" ELO monitor so I can hopefully begin building a real jukebox. But, MCC works well enough for me. There's a spot in this video of it running in my bar... The Dugout Drinkery (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUL4kIP4q6Y#ws)

I'd love to find something for Android also. Something cosmetically pleasing at that !
I think what I love most about Jukebox type programs is the speed and ease in which you can navigate your library.
I'm a huge fan (still) of Uncle T's Jukebox (no longer available) and what I remember most was the ability to scroll quickly through my library selecting and playing the songs I want with ease. I'd love to gain the similar experience on my tablet.

A kind person on reddit pointed me towards Jukebox 2012 by Mike Dent

I liked it, and got the paid version. It's just what I was looking for.

Jukebox 2012 has the look and feel, but I don't see any way for the interface to be set to display random songs from the database instead of alphabetical order.
Or am I missing something?
I prefer random songs to be presented, and if the first screenful doesn't show anything I'd drop a quarter in for, I'd hit next screen and try again. With a collection of >10,000 songs, I just can't hit scroll through the same starting point every time I open the program. :(
I will gladly buy the pay version if it would allow that.

Why not install Splashtop 2 on your android and have it running on your PC. It's free to use on the same network, I installed it on the E-touch juke in the bar and had the full interface and control on my S4. In portrait mode i could see the whole screen and use it as thought it was an app running on my phone. The bonus of this is the pc can be hidden away with am and speakers, running the actual software on the android device means you have to pipe the audio from it to an amp and speakers.
I really suggest you try it with your favorite PC based jukebox software.
Someone mentioned windows 8, you can probably run all the PC based ones on here on windows 8. I know E-touch works.

Jukey, very reminiscent of SK Jukebox, I use it on my phone and Nexus 10, awesome app, link below,

^^this^^...it just plain works. Only change I would like to see in the app is the ability to change the bezel artwork as not everyone wants to design a juke from the 50's.

It does look nice, but unfortunately is yet another program that wants the user to flip through their entire collection, alphabetically, to be able to choose a song. Otherwise, you're kind of limited to letting it use random play or always seeing the first albums and rarely getting past that point without a LOT of page flipping in my case.
I'd use it if it would present albums in random order. For now, I use mortplayer on my phone. At least it has a search function.
I'm still looking for a jukebox app that displays a screenful of random singles. You know, like a jukebox used to.......like I can do with DWJukebox on my PC.
