This Tutorial describes how to insert MP3 songs into the database and
how to play the songs.
In the menu file you will find the load option to load JBD files. The loading of a JBD file
will create a complete new database. If you want to add songs use the
import functions.
With import you can add songs to the database. The KJukeBox can import
MP3 files, M3U files and a free text format. All song, which are to
be added, where checked if they exists. If not, they should be
ignored. If you import from a cd this could be very slow. You can
disable this option in the settings.
A very comfortable way to add songs is to drop the files from kfm into
the database. You can drop a single file or complete directories into
it. If the directory has subdirectories they should also be added. The
drag and drop mechanism only works with MP3 files. Any other file
should be ignored. Additionally you can drop into the playlist and play
the song directly. There is no way to move songs from the playlist
into database.
To play a song you must first copy a song into the playlist. You can
choose between two copy buttons: one copies only the selected songs, the
other copies all songs of the selected genre. If you want to copy the
complete database into the playlist select the genre "all" and press
the "copy all"-button. Now you only need to press "play" on one of the
players and the first (or a random song if shuffle playing is
activated) song should be played. When the song is finished, the next
song starts on the other player automatically.
If you want to play a song directly from the database you can use the
"Play It" button.
