In this new version you can setup a lot of features.
This tabfolder is divided into three parts. The first one describes the
way the free file format looks
like. You can specify the order of the tags and layer options. Not all
options are necessary. Only the filename is really important. Without
a filename the KJukeBox does not know how to handle the song.
The second part is a very nice feature. In the KJukeBox you can
specify some additional informations which are not part of the MP3 file
standard. These options are saved in the JBD file format but not in the MP3
file. With this feature you can use the comment field of the MP3 file
to save the settings there. But be careful, your original comments
are completely lost.
The last part can perform your system. When you load a list of files
the KJukeBox checks if the file exists. If not, the file should not be
loaded. But the check takes a lot of time if you load a list of files
which are stored on a cd. With this checkbutton you can switch off
this check.
The player tabfolder is divided in three parts. In the first one
you can tell the player how to fade in, fade out or mix songs.
The first switch enables or disables the mixing feature. Set it to "on" and
the second player fades in while the first one is playing.
The second switch always enables the default time and overwrite the times
of the songs. In the next field you can
enter the time after how many seconds the player starts
playing. Last seconds described, when the next song start to play, 10
seconds mean the complete song time sub 10 seconds.
The last switch enables the fade device. When the mixing begin the
first song begin to fade out. The fade duration can must be specified in
microseconds.
The seconds section sets the audio device. If your audio device is not
/dev/dsp you can change it here.
The last section sets the quality of the player. You can downsample to
22khz and switch between mono and stereo. The settings take only
affect after a restart of KJukeBox.
The GUI tabfolder is divided into three parts. The first two one setup
what to do if a double click is pressed. It is possible whether to play
the song immediately or to open the song information and tag editor
window. You can setup database and playlist differently.
In the last section you can setup how to handle a crash of a player. In
this version the kjukebox can recognize a player crash and is possible
to start a new player. This is very important for a party where you
want to play music every time.
The general tabfolder is divided into two parts. In the first one you
can setup the UNIX priority of
KJukeBox. Under Linux 20 means low priority and -20 highest priority.
But don't be confused if it not work. Only root can set the priority
to a value less than 0 and a user can only increase his priority. This
option is therefor only interested for root.
The second part set some MP3 features.
First you can setup what should happen, if a MP3 file
without an ID3 tag is loaded. You can ignore it or load it with the
default artist and album. The title is automaticly the filename.
Another feature is to up case the first letter of each word. So it can
never be happen that "Faith no More" and "Faith No More" are interpreted
as different artists.
