The PC Jukebox Version 2.0 1.0

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

True to its name, this program transforms your PC into a full-fledged, attractive jukebox. After installation, the application will import your tunes from a specified folder. At this stage, The PC Jukebox automatically attempts to download album-cover art from the Web. Once you launch the main interface, you'll be glad to see a professional-looking design that mimics the appearance of commercial jukeboxes you would find in a bar or restaurant. You can browse your collection by artist, album, or genre, though in our tests the latter option didn't work consistently. Adding songs, albums, or playlists to your queue is a snap, and the program provides a search tool for quickly ferreting out specific tunes. A nine-band equalizer lets you tweak the sound to your liking, and the skin-creation tool helps personalize the application's look if you don't like the default scheme. The ability to cross-fade tunes will be handy at parties, and the option that locks all buttons ensures wayward guests can't monkey with your mix. Although this program can play video files, it's still primarily designed to deal with audio. We'd urge all music lovers to give The PC Jukebox a try.

Publisher's description

From ThePCJukebox :

From the developer: Version 2.0 is here!Version 2.0 allows you to fully customize the appearance of The PC Jukebox, rebuild your Music Library much faster, play entire albums with the single click of a button, and much much more. "Have you ever wished that you could have the kind of jukebox in your house that you see at your local bar? Well now you can, with The PC Jukebox! The PC Jukebox gives you instant access to your entire MP3 music collection in a detailed graphical environment. The application was designed with a touchscreen monitor in mind, but it can just as easily be used with a standard mouse. The PC Jukebox operates much like a traditional jukebox - users select songs and they get added to a queue. The first song selected is the first one played. The rest of the songs are played in the order they are selected. Unlike a traditional jukebox, however, The PC Jukebox gives the users added control. At any time, the list of songs in the queue is available so anybody can see how many songs they will have to wait to hear their selection. There are controls to skip to the next song, restart the current song, and pause the current song. The time elapsed of the currently playing song is also constantly displayed. Volume and mute controls are also provided, not to mention a full graphic equalizer!"
