Any juke software out there that doesn't require a monitor?
I have a beautiful Rockola 446 Jukebox with no insides. I would LIKE to simply use a PC to replace the missing insides and use the existing jukebox controls, with no monitor.
Can any software handle this?
Doscab seems to have the button setup, but it changes what songs the buttons represent. Or am I incorrect, and can I set up DOScab so that J1 always plays Love Shack, and B7 always plays MC Hammer, etc, etc.

If you want to use the Rockola title cards (and thus be limited to the 100 selections provided by the 441), all you have to do is set up DOSCab with the same number of buttons as the original machine so there's only one page of labels. The 441 has 10 letters and 10 numbers, right? So you just need to set up a skin with UseZero=True,HighLetter=J,HighNumber=9. The button labelling would be a bit off, because I'm sure your juke goes from 1 to 10 instead of 0 to 9... I can fix that, though.
If that'll work for you, I'll set up a skin for you that'll work...

It has more than 100. I'll double check when I get home. It is closer to 200. I'll double check and figure out the exact number so you can figure me the correct skin.
Or maybe it does have 100. I'll post the number tonight.
But thanks, this will be awesome. I'll just hardcode it with all my favorite songs.

Ok, here is a picture.
Looks like a 20 x 8 layout for 160 songs total.

This configuration is supported in my working build.

The only problem left is... so far there isn't any jukebox software, or MP3 software for that matter, that will support either MC Hammer or the B-52's...
