NebulaSleuth: /* List of jukebox software */

'''Jukebox software''' is designed to allow your PC to act and look like a jukebox. Much like [[emulators|game emulators]], there are graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to enhance this effect. Jukeboxes often require you to [[CD Ripping|rip your music]] from CDs to your PC.

Software is available for several different operating systems and may or may not be freeware. Often, if the software is freeware, a donation link is present on the homepage of the software to allow you to show your appreciation for the developer's efforts in creating software that frequently rivals and/or bests commercial software!

Jukebox software may also be "skinnable", meaning the appearance of the software may be changed by the end-user based on their preferences. This may take the form of preset skins within the software, or the ability to develop and share skins with other end-users.

Lastly, touchscreens may be utilized if the software supports it, and can be used to eliminate the need for buttons or a keyboard/mouse combination altogether.

==List of jukebox software==
Below is the jukebox software comparison table for '''Windows''' only. SilverJuke now exists to Mac, and Doscab is for DOS.

 '''''Please be aware that this may be incomplete! The individual pages will have the software's homepage for you to verify any information or questions you may have!'''''

'''1) Format Orientation:'''

With type of format do the software use. This tell it Singles or album based (or both). There are some exceptions:

* Arcade Music Box use a list based screme like Mamewah, but it support both Singles and Albums formats.
* Wincab/Doscab acts best as a singles-based jukebox (it is very popular), but it also supports album as well.

'''2) Byoac Member?'''

If this software is registered and supported by a BYOAC member, the name is showed here.

'''3) License:'''
* ''Freeware:'' is fully functional without payment. A nag screen or ads are not considered a loss of functionality.

'''Note:'''
* '''Basic:''' Only the background may been changed or colored in some software, but not the font.
* '''Standard:''' A software may only support one "Some", not the both.
* '''Advanced:''' A software may only support one "Some", not the both.

'''5) Media:'''
* If WMP ([http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx Windows Media Player]) or AMP ([http://www.winamp.com Winamp]) are listed, that jukebox software is simply a frontend for those programs and handle all formats and codecs WMP/AMP support. WMP/AMP are '''REQUIRED''' for the jukebox software to operate.
* If video and/or image is listed, the individual page will list all video or image file types supported.
* Some software may support MP3+G (a karaoke system), wich is stated as cdg (but they may need to being ripped from the cd).

'''6) Resolutions:'''
* If software has a + after the resolutions, this meams it uses an autoscaling scheme. You can show it on a higher monitor, but the skin may just be rescaled.
* If software stated with any, this mean any resolution is supported by a added skin.
* Wincab/Doscab autoscales all skins to all resolutions and orientations; skins designed specifically for very low resolutions (320x240) are included.
* Other software may look best at the stated resolution(s), even if it supports any resolution with a new skin.

'''7) Controls:'''
* '''Main Controls''' marked in '''bold''' with originalled designed for and for best use.
* '''Buttons''' is typical used for limited use like insert a letter and number (like D3 to insert a song).
* '''Joystick''' is meant for using with arcade joystick (and few buttons), but technical been a keyboard encoder and/or gameport.
* '''Keyboard''' shortcuts (Skip, Pause, Show Queue etc) is not counted as main controls, due nearly all software support it in many ways. Some software can have many shortcuts.
* '''Keypad''' support in many software can also been remmapped.
* '''Mouse''' can been a trackball as well (if mouse course is hided, use trackball term insted).
* '''Touchscreen''' support might only been supported in DOS and Windows XP (Wincab/Doscab and maybe other software as well).

'''8) Web based skin:'''
* Some application can used as webbased software. So skins is based on css on that chase.

'''9) Many Extensions:'''
* These software support many extensions as it could listed here. So they may support 10+ extensions.
* '''Arcade Music Box''' and '''Album Player''' is based on BASS engine, and support these extensions as well.
* Bass is An external engine, [http://www.un4seen.com Bass] wich also supports a variety of extensions and is included with the software. Some software is based on it, but not all software support plugins (like '''The JukeBox'er''').

'''10) Webbased:'''
* These software is writting in a web based language, like php perl and python. because of it, it good to use with a Apache server or like that. It should of course run on all platform (a least on Windows, linux and Mac)
