I'm surprised neither myHTPC or Meedio has been mentioned in this post or on the Jukebox site at all. myHTPC is freeware, but older and unsupported. Meedio is the payware (I got it for $20) & much more robust version of myHTPC. Either one will let you build a Medio (audio or video) Jukebox to your liking, but Meedio has many more options in my opinion. There are already 200 (mostly free) plugins created for Meedio including many different themes (skins) that can be applied. Here are some Meedio jukebox-related screenshots: [url]http://www.meedio.com/maid/plugins/{669DA236-C83D-4BDB-B849-9068FD178F31}/Screenshots/ss2.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.meedio.com/maid/plugins/{669DA236-C83D-4BDB-B849-9068FD178F31}/Screenshots/ss8.jpg[/url] [img]http://etiennedelorme.free.fr/meedio/ss5.jpg[/img] [url]http://www.meedio.com/maid/plugins/{0B6C3256-32ED-4342-A3F4-78B653FBDCC5}/Screenshots/ss2.jpg[/url] [img]http://perso.wanadoo.fr/dasoft/meedio/films.jpg[/img] [img]http://perso.wanadoo.fr/dasoft/meedio/radios.jpg[/img] As of 6 months ago, I was trying to incorporate eJukebox into Meedio. I would lauch Meedio on my HTPC & press on the eJukebox button that I had created. This would launch eJ, but because eJ has such an inflexible size/resolution "feature", the corners & edges of eJ would get cut off since I was running it on a 32" HDTV. I tried various approaches, Powerstrip included, to reduce the overscan that I was getting but it was a no go. Meedio was fine on my HDTV since it has an overscan compensation feature built into it. This was one reason why I ditched eJukebox in favor of Meedio. Another reason I decided to stop using eJukebox was its lack of true support for lossless codecs. I started ripping my entire CD collection to Monkey's Audio because I read that it was supported, but eJ only reads ID3 tags not APE v2 tags which was a bummer. Without ID3 tags, eJ would try to infer the album & titles from the filename, which isn't good if you have your filename structure set up as (track#) song.ape. The only reason I went with Monkey's Audio over FLAC was because APEs were supposedly compatitble with eJ. After I discovered that this was not the case, I switched over to FLAC as Meedio can handle that codec & its tags with ease. I could have stayed with APE as well with Meedio, but a few other features were drawing me to FLAC. The lack of recent updates & nasty, unfixed bugs (compilation errors, unwanted writing to tags, etc.) along with a lack of true GUI customization also led me to Meedio. I know, I know, I sound like I work for them, but I don't :). The Meedio community is huge & very much alive. Their forums are very helpful. There's even a French chapter that has produced some amazing themes for myHTPC & Meedio. Well, that's my story. I'm sure I'll check up on eJukebox every now & then to see if anything new has been developed. It's really a shame since eJ was ahead of it's time when it started out, but now the competition has caught up with them & now surpassed them. Oh well, c'est la vie! Thanks, Steve EDIT: Looks like this board doesn't like the curly braces in the links to some of the pics. I turned those into direct URLs instead.
