| GREAT program.
It could do with some extra features (list artists by letter, eg All artists beginning with 'A', then all albums by that artist), and instead of the tiny boxes showing track position, an actual list of tracks queued, if chosen by album!) , but apart from that, it looks GREAT!
I wonder if people will start skinning this???
It would be nice to be able to use with a touch screen!
Please keep up the excellent work, regards,
Arthur (york, england).

| I've been considering building something like this for a while, but you seem to have quite a head start on me. Are you looking for developers? You mention that the software is free, but is it also open source?
I'd like to have jukebox software that can change the ID[2|3] tags of my songs so I don't have to use two seperate tools to listen to and manage my audio files.

| Thanks for Your responses.
The project started because I wanted a customized jukebox for private use. I’m not very interested in making a fancy GUI, but it is important for me that my friends find the program easy to use. Open source could be a possibility but this is not the aim right now. The aim is to make the program fulfil my needs, and to keep the GUI very simple (I also like to make small and efficient code) Therefore it is very unlikely that a tag editor will be added to JavaTunes. This is also a very complex task, and I don’t like the idea of my code ruining a lot of peoples music files. JavaTunes, as it is today, does not alter any files.
I’m thinking of a better album support, but I’m not sure how to make this the right way. Does anyone know of software which handles albums well?

| By the way. I'm also planning getting a touch screen, and then JavaTunes will be provided with a virtual keyboard. But why are they so damn expensive?

| I'm currently using Rhythmbox, and it has some nice features for building playlists but it's lacking a play queue (like JavaTunes has) and the interface sometimes doesn't work at you expect. Resizing columns is just a nightmare, and if you move the currently playing song up or down in the playlist, the song stops.
I have a lot of music files with mixed ID3 tags. Some songs by the same artist are listed in different Genres, others are missing tags entirely. This makes playlist creation a real chore. You can't just select and play "Dark Side of the Moon" when 'Money' isn't listed as part of the album.
I'd considered joining the Rhythmbox project to fix some bugs and add the features I want, but I don't like how the source is managed and I'm better with java than C. I've found other java based mp3 jukebox apps, but they all seem to concentrate on the UI, and not actual usefull features.
I'm still interested in contributing to this project, even if it isn't released as OpenSource. If you're will to let me help, please email me.

| I will not share the source at this moment. Maybe later. But i think source from jlGui will fit you needs.

| Nice little program. Very easy to use and without those useless stuff most players have. (besides maybe vlc)Keep it up!
About jlgui I have a page with it http://musik.r8.org if you wanna check it out in real.
Ever thought about making an JavaTunes Applet ?
I just love these :)
