Title: Mala and a jukebox similar to itunes?
Post by: jerziekid on April 19, 2013, 12:49:26 pm

Anyone know of a similar jukebox that works with itunes? I'm looking for something to install on the pc in my mame cabinet. Something that can read and play music from ipods/iphones/android devices and display the song lists in the menu when plugged in to the PC. Would love it if it could be controlled by the joystick.


Cheers!

The way I understand it, Itunes is a tad proprietary, as is the media layouts on iphones/ipads.

For instance, I use JRiver Media Center, and they are pretty dang good about support devices, but there's a lot of noise on their boards that people report JRMC  not working with one particular device or another. Apparently, something that apple does from one rev to the next breaks whatever they have to do to get access and play tracks off the device.

But I'm no expert on that so take that with a grain of salt.
