This is the latest version of Media Jukebox 14.0.
IMPORTANT: The feature set of the early builds of Media Jukebox 14 may change. The goal is to provide a feature set that is similar to that of Media Jukebox 12, but with some of the updates, improvements and optimizations of the core Media Center 14 engine.
Please post bugs here. Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion. Non-bug posts will be deleted or moved.
Media Jukebox can be downloaded here:
http://files.jriver.com/mediajukebox/MediaJukebox140166.exe
14.0.166 (July 15, 2010)
1. Fixed: (change from MC 14.0.165) Library Manager did not allow creating a new library entry that pointed to an existing library.
2. Changed: Removed expiration date
3. Changed: Ignore anything past the first 4 digits in a flac vorbis DATE tag.
14.0.164 (April 29, 2010)
1. Update: Built from Media Center 14.0.162 code-base + the following changes from 14.0.162
2. Changed: It is no longer possible to create a new library in a non-empty folder (the program requires full control over its library folder, and deletes files in that folder that are obsolete or foreign).
3. Changed: System playlists like 'Top Hits', 'Recently Imported', etc. are translated at display time so changing languages updates the language on the fly. (as a result, names are no longer user editable)
4. Fixed: Pasting multiple files from Explorer to the cover art of files could cause a crash.
5. Changed: Updated Korean language file (thanks to Junghwnan).
6. Fixed: Version/Build.
14.0.156 (March 5, 2010)
1. Fixed: Installation could complain about a missing file 'MJ12.xml'.
2. Changed: Removed some non-functional options regarding images and video.
3. Changed: Removed a couple unneeded files from the installation.
14.0.152 (February 26, 2010)
1. Update: Built from Media Center 14.0.152 code-base.

Editing the name of an expression column using 'Edit expression column' fails to update the column label.
Workaround: right-click the column label, on the tick-list click the column label, click again to restore the tick (taking care not to slip off the list, since this deletes the column), drag the column back to the original position.
Note: one a few occasions editing the name has created a new column rather than edit the existing one.

Hi,
I am running jukebox 14.0.166 with windows 7 64bit and are having problems with jukebox stalling when listening to music and updating tags at the same time.
I've installed the latest audio drivers but still having problems.
Anyone with any ideas????
-
I just downloaded the latest version of Media Jukebox 14 and installed it on my pc with w7 64bit.
Everything works well, but the" disc labeler" which used to be at Tools-Advanced Tools (in version 12) is gone.
Was it moved or what happened to this function.
I tried to use the print command right after cd burning but it did not work as well???
Can anyone help me please!
Cheers Tom

I suggest when the panes are at left or right hence vertical, Panes Add Category commands be "Add Category above/below..." rather than ".. at left/right..." as currently.

1) When I have no instances running and then run Media Jukebox 14.exe /LibraryReadOnly, MJ warns
This database is already in use by another user.
It will be opened in read-only mode. Any changes will be lost when the program exits.
whereas actually it is not in use by another user.
2) When do I have another instance running and then run Media Jukebox 14.exe /LibraryReadOnly, MJ warns the same, but I suggest it should not, since I asked for read-only.
-
Media Jukebox 14.0.166 has all functions I require or need.I had two or three different programs that had media centers.I do not want or need video picture etc. I would gladly pay for the 14.0.166 version only to keep it. Is This possible ?
-
Thanks very much, but MJ 14.0 is free. Welcome to Interact.

With m4a files - cannot convert, cannot load image, lose tag changes.
I've got build 14.0.166 and I have a problem with my m4a files. I've only got about 10 albums of m4a but the problem is the same for ALL of them and it not a problem for all my other hundreds of albums, which are flac or mp3. The problem is as follows...
My cover art options are: 'as Folder.jpg' and 'Also store image in the file's tag' and all my mp3s have got the album art embedded successfully into the files. I've normally got the album art in the folder and the file by pasting the jpg image into the album in Media Jukebox from the clipboard).
Bug 1: For m4a files, when I paste an image in the clipboard into the files, Media Jukebox *says* that the image is in the folder, but it thinks the image isn't in the file. However, when I examine the file externally by more than one other method (like AutoShell Tag Editor for example) I can see clearly that the image is indeed in the file, it's just Media Jukebox doesn't recognise it. In Media Jukebox the 'Image File' field shows 'Folder.jpg' instead of 'Inside File', which is what it shows for my mp3 and flac files.
Bug 2: Also for m4a files, if I delete the files from the library, leaving them on hard-disk, and then re-import them, any tagging I've done *within media jukebox* (artist, album artist, album, year...) is lost. However, if I changed the tag in another app then the changes stick. So it's definitely not an issue with the files themselves.
Bug 3: If I try to convert the files using 'Convert Format' to mp3, then the conversion fails. The dialog simply says 'conversion failed'. Conversions of other types work fine and the mp3 LAME encoder is set up correctly.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Often upon sync to Creative ZEN, MJ says "Finished" but leaves hundreds of tracks showing "Queued" like this:
(http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/3946/picbf.png) (http://img716.imageshack.us/i/picbf.png/)
... indeed having failed to transfer.
Other times under apparently same conditions, it succeeds. Sorry, I have no idea why.
This on Windows XP SP2.

1) Create new library
2) Import tracks from a SUBST drive ("Ignore files previously deleted from library" UNcheckmarked)
3) Delete tracks from library
4) Reimport tracks from the SUBST drive ("Ignore files previously deleted from library" UNcheckmarked)
Expected: all the tracks reappear
Observed: only some or none do.
Workaround: Delete/create new library first.
This failure does not happen on non SUBST drives.
This is on Win XP SP2.
Here it is 100% reproducable.

http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/MP4_and_M4A_File_Support
Thanks for this reply. I have now read it, sorry I missed it before. The options for mp4/m4a files are clearly very complicated and it's not really a file type that 'just works'. Perhaps that could be clearer. After reading all of the very technical articles I got to the very last sentence, about tagging, which finally says "MC12 does not support writing tags to m4a files, although it does read m4a tags.". I wish I could have found that out in a much quicker user friendly way! It should really be highlighted in the help files or something. Having spent a lot of time in MJ re-tagging a set of eight mp4/m4a albums, MJ happily changed the fields within the program when I made the changes, but how was I to know it wasn't actually writing the changes to the tags and instead was only changing the fields within the MJ database?! If the tags can't be written it is my opinion that when changing fields in MJ, including adding the artwork (with the 'save in file also' option enabled), then the user should at least be warned that the changes will not be saved to the files, which would save a lot of pointless work for this author and I'm sure plenty other people too!
Are there any plans to add native support to mp4 into the program, fully integrating the format so it is supported as per mp3? It would be great if that were the case.
Thanks for listening.

I installed version 14.0.166 after the popup alerted me to its availability. After installing, my playlists were all gone and the "library" (audio tab) seems to have been "rebuilt" and displayed differently than before the upgrade. What now? I either want to go back to the old version or uninstall and reinstall the new one in a way that preserves all the hard work I put into my playlists.

Restore from a backup of MJ12. It's under the File menu. MJ14 can restore an MJ12 backup.

Thanks Big Jim. Just had to find the old Library and restore it in the new version. I don't recall having to do this on other updates.

When ripping a CD the cover art does not download. I have verified that "Get Cover Art from Internet after ripping" is checked in the options, and when I went back into MJ 12 and ran an import, the cover art was then downloaded and assigned to the albums, so it's not a matter of the albums not having cover art. I have verified that this was not a "one off", I ripped 3 albums that have been around for a long time (80's), and restarted MJ 14 each time before ripping.

My Music HD is all Classical arranged Composer/Genre/Sub Genre/Performer/Work- so no library needed or wanted
In MJ12 I go to "Drives and Devices" choose the drive and drill down - everything displays and plays perfectly.
In MJ14 some directories display perfectly, some partially, some not at all.

In my opinion if the user is allowed to edits fields in a m4a file without any warnings and the changes are not saved to the tags in the files then this should be considered a bug. 99% of all users will unquestionably and very reasonably assume that if they make changes to fields then those changes are being saved in the tags.

Hugo Read.

Please start a new topic to discuss. This thread is for bug reports.
Not all files can be tagged. MC keeps the information in your library though.

Hi
If I close the program whilst in restor down next time I open it I don't get the full page.
I have now reinstaled 3 times as this is the only way I have found to fix it.
Windows 7 64 bit.
I would add a screen shot but I cant find how to insert it?
Any help
Thanks

I'm a registered user of MC 15.
Does this version of Media Jukebox support ASIO?
thanks

No, but you can simplify MC. See Options/General/Features.

No, but you can simplify MC.
Here is an old (but still valid) discusssion with instructions from JimH and me: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=43993
You can make MC's interface even more streamlined than MJ12's by deleting the unneeded view schemes and disabling all unnecessary features, plug-ins & services (see the screenshots)...

I have been using MJ12 for well over a year now as my main MP3 organizer and player. I recently decided to upgrade to the new MJ14 to see how it works. I like everything in the new version, but I am having trouble when ripping a CD using the LAME 3.98.2 external encoder. It rips the tracks to a temp directory like it should and starts to convert it to MP3. When the conversion is finished, it the gives me the following error: "JRiver Media Jukebox has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvenience."
I have also installed MJ14 on my laptop and get the same results. I also installed the trial of MC15 on both of my machines and it does not crash on either.
AppName: media jukebox 14.exe AppVer: 14.0.166.0 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 062e2e4c
As I said, everything else seems to work as good as MJ12. Any help with this issue would be appreciated.

I'm a recent convert from MusicMatch, where I got spoiled. I have not been able to find out how to print playlist sheets for my CD cases, after burning a CD. Does Media Jukebox not have this feature? I saw an earlier post that version 12 had it. Why would that be taken out? I did not see it in any of the posts I read in the MC15 forum either. Does anybody know?

Thank you thank you thank you!
Your software is by far the best!! Amazon should pay you guys ten times more.
I only wish you could develop a GNU/Linux version; other than this I don't have anything to say about the Jukebox.
Keep it up!

Hi all ! Really noob ;D to this forum, but i have been searching for any information on a problem i have picked up on while installing this version of Media Jukebox ( trying the software out for first time ).
I get this error on install after it hits 32% - " File Corrupt " ?
Now i have Downloaded this several times and keep getting the same error. :'(
I have now resorted to MJ 12 and works fine but i would really like to see new software in action.
Any Ideas ? please

Hello 2 the team !
Time goes by and as a philosopher would said " Nothing is permanent" ;)
I haven't posted anything for 2 years ... changed my computer's equipment during that time and was really pleased to get Media Juke Box 14 working like a charm ! (Windows 7)
Excellent work ! Félicitations !

Likewise "Add category to left" adds above.
I'd welcome the addition of "Add category to top and bottom" and would be happy to accept that additions be allowed only in one axis.

Hey. Anyone know how to change the speed at which CDs can be burned? Can't seem to find it in the latest version of MJ. Thanks.

I don't have MJ on a system w/a drive that burns (its in a virtual machine), so this is from MC16.
-
All well & good, but the numbers don't mean anything to me. I was looking for the burn speeds as Fastest, Fast, Slow, Slowest, etc.
-
All well & good, but the numbers don't mean anything to me. I was looking for the burn speeds as Fastest, Fast, Slow, Slowest, etc.
These 1x, 2x, etc. multipliers are standard and are based on original CD-ROM speeds.
1x means the original rate, or 150kbps/sec. 2x is double that. 24x is 24 times the original.
For more info, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM#Transfer_rates (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM#Transfer_rates)
-
I don't mean to sound dumb, but I am out of the loop when it comes to electronics and the lingo that goes with it. By default, the burn setting in my MJ is set at "Max". Can I assume that this is the "Fastest" burn setting? Would that also tell me that going to 1x would be a slower burn speed? Sorry to harp on this, but when I was using Windows Media Player, I went to "Burn Settings" and could choose Fastest or Fast or Slow, etc. So, would 2x be a slower burn speed than 1x? Again, sorry for not understanding and thanks.
-
Max will be the fastest that the drive can support. For any modern drive, that should be 48x. MC will automatically throttle down as necessary to ensure a good burn. 1x would be the slowest speed. The drive itself maintains is hard-coded list of the speeds it supports, and MC will get a list of these speeds.
The verbiage in WMP (eg. Fastest, Fast, Slow, etc.) is just a friendlier mapping of a range of numbers to names, albeit with less precision.

Hi,
I just migrated to a new PC, from XP to W7, and ashamed to say, I still used a very old MediaJukebox (7.1.241), but very much to my satisfaction. A modest functional player, but I don't like my PC to be like a Christmas-tree. Now on my new PC I downloaded this most recent version of MJ, but I am afraid I going to uninstall it. There a two reasons for this:
1.I can't play my MP3's anymore by right-clicking from Explorer (or it's W7 equivalent) by 'add to MediaJukebox playlist' (the option doesn't occur anymore, only add to playlist Windows Media Player. I've tried all options anf menu's and searched this forum on 'add to playlist' and 'explorer' to restore it, but can't find it)
2.Almost five years ago, I downloaded a file which contained deliberately a couple of times a minute of slience (Anna Wise - High Performance Mind - Beta Mastery). These minutes of slience were skipped and I blamed the ripper, and every once and a while I spent some hours to try to find a better ripped version. Only to find out today it was MediaJukebox who skipped it (the file was correct), because Windows Media Player and VLC play it correctly. Some other minor skips in this file Mediajukebox performed were also gone.
I'm very sorry, for I was really attached to this player.
Greetings,
Frits,

This works fine. Be sure you've associated the audio file types with MJ. This occurs during install (you're asked which file types to associate with MJ), or you can change them later.
2....These minutes of slience were skipped and I blamed the ripper, and every once and a while I spent some hours to try to find a better ripped version. Only to find out today it was MediaJukebox who skipped it...
Go to Options->Audio and unselect "Do not play silence (leading and trailing)"

Thanks Mr.C for your quick repsonse. Problem 2 solved (could/should have figured this out myself) , but problem 1 still exists. I associated MP3 with MJ (via W7 as well as in MJ (which I reckon is the same)) but Explorer (W7) right-clicking on a MP3, although wants to play with MJ, only opts for adding to the playlist of Windows Media Player and not, as with my old player under XP, adding to the playlist of MJ.

You're welcome. I just confirmed again that it works correctly under XP, so at least you can feel comfortable that you're almost there.
Try uninstalling, reinstalling MJ. Perhaps that will take care of associating the file types correctly.
If you have MC installed (and are not using it), uninstall it first, then uninstall/reinstall MJ.
-
Again, Mr. C thanks for quick responding.
I had no MC installed. But I uninstalled and reinstalled MJ again. Alas, no result. When, however, I made VLC player my default MP3 player, rightclicking in Explorer did offer me the option to add the MP3 to it's playlist. So I think the cause is in your player. I hope you have a solution because I prefer your soundquality to Bill's (after some hours of Windows Media Player) .

No affiliation w/JRiver; I'm just a happy user like you.
I first read that you couldn't Play in MJ. I see your asking about *adding* to the playlist.
Go to Options->General and under Shell Options check "Enable shell integration". Quit MC and you'll see a Media Jukebox menu with sub-entries when you right-click on audio files.
-
Hi Mr.C,
I'm sorry, I see I didn't write it down unambiguously. The issue indeed is the ádding to the playlist.
The shell-integration, well, that one I had allready figured out (to show I tried my best), but after trying again, even restarting my PC; nope. Because it does work with VLC it must be a omission in MJ. I'm afraid a ten-year-relationship is going to end here, although I might check to see whether it is fixed.
Thanks anyway.
-
Hate to see you go (it almost sounds like you are looking for a reason to fly).
Adding to a playlist from Explorer does already work; I tried it just before I posted, and several times later in various ways.
If you're still here, let's get you up and running...
-
How do I post images? The button 'images' gives me (http://) but pasting doesn't give any result.
-
Images are shown here via uploading the image onto some external picture sharing site and then using the IMG tags to surround the image URL. Pictures are shown inline then. The IMG tags are in the toolbar above (2nd row, 2nd button), with tooltip "Insert Image".
This Media Jukebox section of the forum does not allow image uploads, which is allowed in other boards by users who have been members for some time. These pictures show as attachments.
-
Hi MrC,
It's not so much as wanting to fly, as well wanting to play :-[
Well, look at the difference (it's in dutch, but I think it will be clear; translation: 'toevoegen' = to add, 'afspeellijst' = playlist)
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-PCldxmNVoCk/TfOhJQUJCMI/AAAAAAAAABE/9SZgF0UARew/s1152/Right-clicking%2BMJ.jpg)

(sorry 'bout the size, i wanted it to be readable)
VLC offers me what I want in - so to speak - one click of the button. I have spent already quite some time to get MJ to add MP3's to my playlist.
Would be great if you knew what makes the difference.

So you can see here that with

It was a simple as installing the program with default options, going into Options and setting the shell integration option, and then right-clicking on audio files.
Try rebooting after setting that option (although it was not necessary here, now was quitting MJ).

Hi MrC,
I already did enable shell integration (as you mentioned before), but tried it again and even rebooted my PC, but alas, I don't get the submenu. Maybe it's the language version of my W7 (mention that VLC adapts the language in the menu-options, but MJ doesn't), but being a Home Premium version I can't change the language. So I even installed a different file-handler (FreeCommander) , but this turned out not to work either (nor Dutch nor English). I'm afraid I will have to get used to select my files from within MJ to maintain my beloved sound quality. Thanks a lot for your patience and efforts.

Could be a language thing. And yet I see that the language file for Dutch exists, and has the following entries:

Please note, that I *did not* have the right-click context menu for MJ when other versions of MC were installed. Perhaps the same thing is true when VLC is installed. I see VLC is in your context menus. If you wanted to test this out, uninstall VLC and MJ, then reinstall MJ.
Otherwise, perhaps one of the developers can comment.
-
Hi MrC,
Tried your suggestion. Uninstalled VLC, Uninstalled MJ (Revo Uninstallere didn't like this) , reinstalled MJ, but still the same problem.
For me it's stops here. There's a limit to the amount of effort I am willing to go through to get a player to work. Thanks again for your patience and your efforts.
Frits.
-
Hi MrC,
... Revo Uninstallere didn't like this ...
What's that?
-
Ok, well that's unfortunate.
But as JimH is suggesting, if you decided Revo knows better, how to install/uninstall programs, than the developers of those programs themselves, you're in for trouble. Up until this point, we've been under the impression that you've followed recommended procedure. All bets are off once you start mucking about.
-
I think this is an unnecessary harsh response, and not very customer friendly.
First VS Revo uninstaller is broadly high rewarded and recommanded by several respected forums and computer magazines. Many programs leave a mess on your computer after uninstalling, which is a well known problem and a cause of slowing down computers. Moreover, during uninstalling it makes use of the uninstaller of the original manufacturer. So I think using Revo can't be blamed too easily. However, if you can convince me that my use of Revo is the cause of my problems with your Media Jukebox, I will of course humbly bow my head.
-
MrC isn't a representative of JRiver. He's a user like yourself, and he was trying to help.
But I am, and I agree with him. If you're using something special for uninstalling, it is definitely possible that the problem is related to it.
-
Apologies, I meant no disrespect nor meant to be harsh.
I'm just a user like you, not one of the developers.
I'm not sure what else can be suggested to determine why your system is having trouble with a feature that appears to work. I did the installations on a clean XP SP3 virtual machine, without additional software, so there's clearly something different between our systems.
-
Thanks for your kind comments.
To be complete:
MJ was the first application I installed on a brandnew Windows 7 (64) computer.
OK, apparently I didn't check the shell integration box.
VLC and Revo Uninstaller were installed áfter I didn't get the right-click menu as shows up at MrC's
Today I uninstalled VLC (via the Windows Control Panel this time) and reinstalled MJ again. I chose the custom procedure but changed nothing, left all the checks and defaults intact (cover art, quick launch etc. I usually uncheck), set the shell intregration on. Alas, still no right-click menu. I even installed MJ14 on my old XP-machine and it didn't work there either.
Welll, I'll pop by in the future and try again.

1 Click Files, Library, Library Manager...
2 Looks for focus indicator
Expected: found.
Observed: not:
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/5646/medialibraries.png)
Down arrow confirms focus is on list, by showing the selection indicator.
Pressing TAB to leave and enter the control confirms no focus indicator is shown on the list.
EDIT: Also that dialog shows some failures of arrow keys to move focus:
1) On Delete, down arrow fails to reach Load - does nothing
2) On Load, up arrow fails to reach Delete - does nothing
3) On Exit, down arrow fails to reach Libraries - it goes to some hidden control

I haven't had much luck with my post http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=65639.0 (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=65639.0) so I'll ask in here.
Why is there limited information in the ID3 tag in MJ14.0.166 specifically it's missing the Composer field (others would also be useful)?? Is this available in MC16???

Just downloaded latest version of Jukebox from site onto laptop running Windows7. It opened once and I was trying to access music files that were already on an external harddrive that had been set up with another computer (which runs WindowsXP). I thought I had directed Jukebox to the correct drive to access the existing music but it would not show anything when I went to "Albums", etc...screen areas stayed blank.
I would guess that I can use pre-existing external drive to feed Jukebox from 2 computers.
What am I missing?
Thanks.
-
Can someone help me? I want to buy the full program for jukebox, but I have a Discover card. Only card I have. Is there a solution? Will you take this card? frank.thompson51 at yahoo Thanks so much
-
We don't accept Discover, but Paypal might. You could possibly set up an account there.

1 Plug in an MTP device such as Creative ZEN
2 In media tree, click ZEN
Expected: sync panel filled like this (from MJ14 on on Win XP): http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/8463/mediajukeboxdap9.png (http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/8463/mediajukeboxdap9.png)
Observed: sync panel buttons missing, device picture misplaced, tab lettering corrupt:
(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/9373/mediajukebox.png) (http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/9373/mediajukebox.png)
This bug does not appear on an MSC device e.g. USB drive stick.
This bug does not appear on WinXP SP3.
Workaround for loss of Sync Now and Options buttons: in media tree, right-click device.
Workaround for loss of Recheck Sync buttons: perhaps use a user-defined key/menu entry mapped to the Recheck Sync command (untested).
If anyone has got MJ to work with an MTP in Win7 as it does on XP, please do say.

I've been using MJ 14.0.166 on my 2 laptops and love it. Yesterday my older laptop I'm using it on had a strange problem I can't fix. MC will no longer even open. As soon as I click on it I get the message it has encountered a problem and has to close, and I submit the error report. When I try to reopen it, the same error message comes up again. I uninstalled it, re-installed it, opened it and as soon as I do it gives me the same error message. I can't even get MC to appear. The instant I click to open it, it gives me the error message. I would like to be able to go into it and adjust settings to see if that helps, but it's impossible. I can't make it past the error message. The laptop this is happening on appears to have no other issues, so I'm stumped. It always says it wasn't shut down properly, but as soon as I re-open it, boom, it says it has encountered a problem and needs to close. So it's like a broken record. My other newer laptop is running it perfectly. Bizarre.
-
I uninstalled it again and got a message saying "unable to load default skin, unable to continue" and then that it was successfully uninstalled. After re-installing it, I tried to open it yet again, but then got the same error, MJ must close message. After uninstalling it yet again, the same default skin warning came up again. So it looks like MJ has an issue with the default skin noire setting and can't open. suggestions?

Thanks Big Jim. Just had to find the old Library and restore it in the new version. I don't recall having to do this on other updates.
This didn't work for me. I finally upgraded the much loved Version 12 to 14 and everything disappeared. The first time it searched for media files and imported every file type on my system, had to delete them all and stop the import to select just audio and playlists, of which I got none. Tried to restore from Version 12 backup and got nothing except the same music files, no playlists. Also, can't quite figure it out, but below the panes view seems to be different... it used to be a list of whatever songs was on the album I wanted to review, but now it's all the albums in that category of Genre or of that same artist. Much more difficult to work with. I just want a list of songs under the artist or album category from the panes above. I've struggled with it for quite a while but keep screwing up everything else. Don't see any way to change it.
-
Perhaps I could clarify? In the Panes view, it has a column for Genre, Artist and Album. In the space below it is a big wasted space to me as the name of the album spans across the entire space dividing all the song titles. Is there any way to get just a list of all the songs say in that Genre in alphabetical or otherwise without the Album Name dividing them? I've tried all the Library Views that I can find and can't seem to come up with that. I'm sure it's the way I used to view them in Version 12.
Thanks for any help
Tim

Where did the visualizations options go? The only thing I can find in Display view is a blurry album cover.
Thanks

You're using software that's pretty old. Have you considered switching to JRiver Media Center?
-
I could find no button to create a new post or new topic, only reply. I hope this is the right place to post this, but I can't seem to get any response with my other questions. Is there somewhere else we can go to get help with Jukebox? Any other independent discussion forums?
I need to find out how to get Jukebox to stop importing photos every time I open the jukebox. I have all options to block or not include my photo folders, but I'm not sure why you'd want to import photos into a jukebox anyway.

Use "New Topic" in the upper right corner of the index page.

I DJ every weekend and have liked using Media Jukebox all the time because I am soo use to it,
Well the computer I use to DJ every weekend has Windows 10 installed on it and when I go to play certain songs that are M4A format, The Media Jukebox player won't play it and mentions something about installing a newer version of Quick Time, Can someone please help me fix this issue because I have alot of songs that are M4A format.
Thanks and greatly appreciated.

hello
can i use directshow audio filters (ffdshow or lav audio filter ) with this player?
-
Please, fix the displaying of an album art.
Album Arts in MJukebox are blurred in library view and it doesn't change when you update them. Media Center displays them in crystal clear quality.
Here is a comparison:
(http://s16.postimg.org/47i3b1ee9/MCenter_art.jpg) (http://postimg.org/image/47i3b1ee9/)(http://s22.postimg.org/eksyjg771/MJukebox.jpg) (http://postimg.org/image/eksyjg771/)
(you can see it quite well on letters)
And please make editable the column with Number Plays.
Than Media Jukebox will be a perfect player. Thank you in advanced.

Using Jukebox 14 on PC with Windows 10 64 bit. Trying to convert wav to mp3 and the resulting file is terribly distorted. New problem for me, have used to convert wma to mp3 and it's fine. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

how do I stop non-music files from showing in recently imported playlist?

I don't think you can do that.

Okay, I know this is an old one and MJ is retired, but just for observation's sake:
I noticed over several months that Media Jukebox 14 displays all time dates 1 day (24 hours) behind the actual time (import dates and last played).
It only changed and started showing the proper date when installing & switching to either Media Center or back to Media Jukebox 12. I don't know if it's something particularly on my Windows 10 laptop that had anything to do with it, but I tried both rebooting, confirming and reconfiguring W10 time syncronization, and reinstalling + deleting all app-data folders. It kept showing all time fields exactly one day behind, specifially in that version. With or without VPN activation or altering time zones.

Is there any way to get a copy of Jukebox 14? Every link I've found takes me to Media Center. Luckily I have a copy of version 12 I've used and loved for years, but thought I might try version 14. Not interested in Media Center. Thanks
-
Media Jukebox was retired in 2016, so I wouldn't expect to find a copy of it. Media Center is what has replaced it.

In MC, you can adjust the interface to music only.
