Jukebox type interface
« on: May 26, 2003, 03:34:42 pm »

I have tried out about 25 different mp3 players/burners over the past 2 weeks, and I gotta say, nothing comes close to MC9.   This program just keeps working and working!  no crashes...no slowdowns....

The only thing I would like to see is some type of jukebox type interface to make this easy to use on a touchscreen.   I currently am using www.thepcjukebox.com   because it works nicely on a touchscreen...but that is all it does.  MC blows it away everywhere else.    So...if anybody has the desire to create a touchscreen/jukebox type interface, I will be your first customer!

We'd like it to work there, too.  Did you try the Hairstyle mode?  F11 or CTRL-W will get you there.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

darn...I was using my nose to try to push the buttons.  Now that I found out what these fingers are for, things should be a little easier!

Suggestion for the touchscreen/jukebox interface;

Hairstyle is very close, but the controls don't really allow someone to just walk up to the screen and tap on the images they wish to play.  The arrows, enter etc. add a few extra steps that I was trying to avoid.

pcjukebox (and party gui which is a front end for CDJ on the slinke) simply show thumbnails of all album covers.  You can list by album or by artist.  Both also have an alphabet on the side so you can jump directly to different sections.  

When the album is touched (with a nose or a finger!)  It either starts to play, or is added to a playlist.   It is really pretty simple.

My goal is to have something very common sense oriented so that customers at my 16,000 square foot model home can just "touch the pictures."

Sometimes, these million dollar plus home buyers just don't get it....

thanks for making such a great product.

you have never seen a touch screen?  Elo...magictouch...etc?

I use samsung mp150 15" lcd monitors with built in tv tuners...    I then purchase an elo glass touchscreen and install it on the monitor.  My customers then get a tv/computer/touchscreen all in one.
