Post by: saranaz on August 28, 2008, 10:21:53 am

OK, so i have a decent machine made with a big hdd....i have tons a music....now which software to use?
Just reinstalled xp pro: and I have tried the following.

Nordbeat - Love it, i like how i can lock things out, cross fading...feels like touch tunes which is what i want..... Expensive! :angry:

Freebox4 - took some time to load, even in the program, im sure i can get it to run better..

what else should i try?

this machine will be in our frat house....i want something that can be locked down.......and we want looks!

The load time issue with freebox is because of the amount of images used in the default skin. I need to work with eist and squirrely to see if we could optimise the images some more without loosing too puch quality to improve the loading time. I can go from switch on to music in around a minute on my jukebox though. You might want to look at using a stripped down version of XP to improve the boot times on XP itself. Obviously the load times you are refering to are a specific freebox issue and I will see what i can do. Of course a skin with less images would greatly improve load times. Maybe I can make a LITE skin. Thanks for giving it a try anyway.

Barry-

I give mad props for your program. Yeah i should of stripped down XP, which i still plan on doing. I did run into that no-images in the skin folder, but other than that its a nice program

I leave my juke on all the time even though we probably only use it 3 or 4 times a week.  It goes into standby mode or whatever after 24 hours.  The monitor and hard drives spin down after a few hours.

I probably use more power putting new music on there and running the config than I do actually playing music. :dizzy:

Try the following link.  It's a nice jukebox application.  Still in its infancy design.  Definitely a future with this application.
