Yet Another Jukebox Program

There are a few small features that I'm either not seeing, or that don't exist.
1) If you enter full view when typing a song number, can it close that view once/if all the tracks of that album are queued, or if the display is left idle for a set time period?
2) For those of us with dual monitors, can it remember which screen it was on when it last closed?
3) I swear there was a #3...
4) I can't get it to run under wine in linux. Has anyone tried this before and got it working?
SK Jukebox is by far and away the best album-based jukebox I've come across. VMJ is almost there, but as slow as a tortoise being led by a lethargic snail.

Thanks for the positive feedback! ;D
Anyway, on to the questions.... :
1) So, you want the full view to remain open if you only pick one song, but close if you pick '00 All Tracks'? Not totally sure how best to handle the 'close after x seconds' issue....it's been on my to-do list longer than any of the other features!
2) I've not used dual monitors ever, so doing that would be a real challenge! Can you set it up in your video card drivers? Do most other apps remember? If it's just remembering the x & y (and height & width) of the unmaximized window, that's not hard at all, but if it's something else (i.e. you've maximized the app on the 2nd screen), then I'm not sure if I could do it or not. Would certainly check it out, if you can clarify these points.
3) There is no #3......move along ;D
4) I haven't tried it, so hopefully someone else out there has had some experience with it. :-\

About dualscreen:
This option is only workable when the desktop is expanded (not cloned). On that mode, it very easy. I saw a thread in the Purebasic, how the desktop was setup on the second screen (say: coods). I was going to make a dll to wipe that one.....
But when working directly with graphicscard and fullscreen (wich send directly to the another graphicscard), this option is allmost impossible without a lots of trouble because there are limits on Windows and Drivers. I expermented with that, but and gave up....

First of all, let me just say how wonderful SK Jukebox is. Thanks, SalmonKing!
This is my first post, so here's a bit of history:
I went to a local diner the other day and fiddled around with the jukebox and thought, "Wouldn't it be a great idea to have a jukebox that plays MP3 songs!" When I got home, I searched the Net and lo and behold! There is a community of MP3 jukebox afficionados out there (or should I say, in here :P )! I was
reading the BYOAC forums and tried to download some of the software mentioned. I went to the Virtual Music Jukebox website, loved the screenshot, and tried to download the installer, but at 18+ megs, I had to beg off. I settled (duh!) for SK Jukebox, installed it in seconds and got it up and running. When I loaded my songs, I encountered an error. It turns out the MP3 files in my Pussycat Dolls album folder were corrupted (either that, or the cheesy music filter in SK Jukebox is on by default, hehehe). Quickly took the folder out of my collection, and loved SK Jukebox. That was 3 nights ago. The next night, I downloaded VMJ, Uncle T's, and Jukeboxer and installed them, for comparison. Although, they were also good pieces of software, I promptly went back to SK Jukebox.
Been steadily playing around with the options.
Once again, great program, SK. Kudos!

Hi SK, how about using the same routine you utilise for the screensaver, whereby if nothing is chosen in full view for 300 secs (default), SKJ jumps into screensaver mode, then reverts back to the normal view when the mouse is moved.
