I know that this question has been asked millions of times, but my search skills are killing me right now. I've tried every word combination that I can think of and also looked through the Jukebox Software listing thread.
What is the most feature rich/cab friendly jukebox out? Perhaps something that downloads/shows album art, track listing and other jukebox basics... Any suggestions? Karaoke support (zip files) would be nice, but not necessary as there is another app that does this perfectly.

Yep again, you should use the wiki page about the software:
http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Jukebox_Software
My own software, MultiJuke is directly designed with arcade cabs in mind (like my previous software, Arcade Music Box), also with arcade controllers and buttons (even better if you have colored buttons).
It also have kid and normal modes, but depend how you want it configurered... 2 buttons or 4 buttons use.
Mightbeen it its might take a bit time to configure, but it pretty much designed same way as MAME do.
And its also have zipped CDG support, which is best suited in the vertical mode.
I have also created a command line Zipped CDG player, if you want them to been played from a FE as well.
You can also tryout DWJukebox as well, which both designed to been button based.

Your app seems pretty nice, but I've tried it several times and can never get any songs to appear in my Library.
I think the problem might be with how my MP3 folder is setup.... I have about 10,000 individual mp3's and would like to have them all in one Library. My current folder setup is as follows:
/Mp3/Artist/*.mp3
or
/Mp3/Artist/Album/*.mp3
I disabled ID3 tags. When I TAB out of the config, I see the Library but no songs appear.

You need to tell MultiJuke about the Format Mask you use, hence no songs was listed.
[EDIT]
Rest of this post is removed, due to the next post to remove some misforstood.

Your folder would been threated as Singles, since you have mixed singles and albums. MultiJuke dosen't like that, so you wont been able to use your albums here and list songs that use album. These songs using albums would simply been skipped or show wrong.
You need to use one extract folder Format Mask to been use on ALL folders in a library or enable tags.
So you must done one of these thing:
1) Use a second library for singles only and move them out from the path. This is the best way.
2) Create a singles folder as a album name, so it use Singles like it was a album:
/Mp3/Artist/Singles/*.mp3
/Mp3/Artist/Album/*.mp3
In next version (released (http://www.multijuke.com/forum/index.php?topic=95.msg330#msg330)), 1.10.2, you can now use something like this:
/mp3/artist/albums/0 - title.mp3
/mp3/singles/artist/tracknr - title.mp3
or
/mp3/artist/albums/Artist - title.mp3
/mp3/singles/artist/tracknr - title.mp3
You still need to use a list a artist or 0 as trackname, if you used a track nr in your albums. Otherwice this is not needed, if you not used tracknr at all in albums.
This because MultiJuke might not detect Format Mask correctly, so you can't define the song title in Albums folder....
