I am finishing up my jukebox project, I know get pictures, get pictures, and was wondering if any of the jukebox software titles can work across 3 monitors, 2 to display song selections and one to show other stuff, videos, lyrics, visualizations, etc. I am currently using VMJ and really like how it works, but I am open to other software if it will handle this. I work both in Windows and Linux, just don't program, I have looked at globalcomm jukebox and thought about modifying it, but looks like a major effort and a lot of work for me to get up to speed on the languages needed to do what I want. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for all the programers out there creating all the good software.

Well mine (Freebox) offers support for 2, one for the main app and one for the videos. I tend to output to a tv card for the video output then split that around several tv's.
However using 2 screens for song selection i am not sure how to this would work, also my software is really aimed at touchscreens so if you required keyboad inputs then i would have to code that in somehow.

THe 3 screen support could been using network system:
One for the song selection, that was network connectoed to the server, that hold the another selection and host the text display stuff (This would require 2 networked computers).
But my own Arcade Music Box is not aimed your jukebox like this, even I have a planned network version and have a very simple touch screen support.

Select album on one screen and show it's track listing on another might work... To be honest 3 screens does seem a bit of an overkill.... ;D
