Post by: mountaindew on August 30, 2013, 12:23:21 pm

I have the pc jukebox software on my homemade jukebox now.My question is what other pc jukebox software is similar to this one but maybe a little better.I just want to try something different

I think most people use eTouch jukebox now (formerly freebox, formerly free, now $35)

I'm still using thePCjukebox.  I'd like something that looks more like touchtunes, but haven't been willing to spend the time on it.

There is a list stickied in the jukebox subforum, but it's horribly outdated.

I'm personally quite fond of AlbumPlayer, pretty easy to skin, several very high quality skins already available, none of that "geocities website beveled button" look, and definitely tailored towards touchscreens.

I use JRiver Media center too on my PC, but although they do have a "touch friendly" skin, it's not the greatest in the world. But they're other functionality (tagging, organization, conversion, etc) is all very handy.

I'm using a combo of SimpleTouch FE, DW Jukebox, and Media Player Classic for my soon-to-be-finished jukebox. I bought TouchJams, but I'm saving that for another project. DW Jukebox is still my favorite pure jukebox program.

Yeah, but you should throw the creator Chris a few bucks for his work.

It's not fancy or super flashy, but it does exactly what I want it to do - play songs.

My question is...   Once I install a jukebox program..  how do I get it to load automatically when I reboot the computer?

Throw it in your startup group and set the PC to automatically login as a specific user.

That sucks. I was just there a week or so ago. Damn.

At least I have the files I need. One you set it up, it's plug and play.
