did you installed the runtime files from the uncle'T Homepage correctly? what kind of hardware do you use?

Arcade Jukebox is a pure singles based jukebox software and was not desinged to use with albums. Hence there is no coverart support.

look in wiki and checkout for albumbased software.

ahh, ok. It seen he have not researched the titlename very much, because arcade jukebox have been used in other much more arcadecab friendly software with named arcade jukebox 8, which does its job.

Arcade Jukebox look like a mouesdriving with typical windows interface, which require high resolution monitor, and hence cant been used in a arcade monitor with much lowere resolution. Due with that I really doesn't like that name, even he used it on his mamecab, which I guess he use LCD + trackball (as I can see). But I do have not tested that yet.

Since its media player based, I guess coverarts need to been named folder.jpg in each folder to been found by the software, like most other software do.....

Arcade Jukebox 8 howover its a great name for the another software I talked about, because its really its job nicely. hence i have not problem with that name, and why I called my software something different (when I created Arcade Music Box)

All the album art needs to be in the album folder named folder.jpg.
