netjukebox

I happened to have a home pc to be shared with my neighbours listen very frequently to all the musix I have. Because it's just a Pentium II the streams where hackling and tickling because of lame, but if you change the command line for streaming to 'type' it wil stream the original mp3 untouched! Works perfect and I'm very happy with it..

Dank voor zo'n gaaf programma, ik zal er zeker induiken om wat dingen op te lossen die me nog dwars zitten

Hello Remmie,

Thanks for the compliments.

You said in Dutch that you would change some things you didn't like.
If these are related to streaming I would advice to wait until the next version.
Streaming will become session based in the next version, and expires only if the session expires or when logged out.

Changes won't be in the streaming section, more with searching for tracks and titles, it takes a bit a hassle to find the right songs and I've got ideas to work it out a bit better.

The option of having the album cover from a file in the folder named image.jpg could be better of with a regular expression searching for *front*.jpg for the front image.

some other ideas:

Link to Wiki for the album/artist like allmusic.
Try to write code for downloading the whole album (I know you've tried it!!)
direct link to browse all the albums in the menu bar
Better support for double abums (like having folders with cd1 and cd2 in an album folder)


don't know if everyone will like these but when I finished programming it I'll let you know.

Good ideas are always welcome

> image.jpg could be better of with a regular expression searching for

This is a good one.

> Link to Wiki for the album/artist like allmusic.
Can you explain this a little bit more?

> Try to write code for downloading the whole album (I know you've tried it!!)
Maybe you can make use of the free 7-Zip command line version. http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

> direct link to browse all the albums in the menu bar
This is already possible in two clicks
- Click on * in the menu bar.
- Then click on the right square next to Artist.

Or add this to the menu bar:
browse.php?command=view2&artist=all&filter=all&order=artist


> Better support for double abums (like having folders with cd1 and cd2 in an album folder)
I have made a mechanism with track numbering, like this:
CD1:
101 - .....
102 - .....
103 - .....

CD2:
201 - .....
202 - .....
203 - .....

But an additional directory cd1 and cd2 is a good idea.

> don't know if everyone will like these but when I finished programming it I'll let you know.
I would be very interested in the results.
If you have one or two weeks than I have finished netjukebox 3.76 and can start from there.

I do agree, lots of my MP3s are really hard to find using the search boxes and the browse button because they aren't properly formatted/named using netjukebox standards. (It's a long process...)

So new/improved features are always welcome!

Let us all know!

Thanks
