Description
Angry with the recent .Net crash, decided to open up Java. I made a basic media player.Basic as in...
---
* it only plays .mp3 files
* has pretty much only basic features. no bandwidth effects, no graphic equalizer, etc.
---
So yeah, it's all 90's style, old-school like and such.
Also, check (shuffle on Load) before pressing the eject (open) button if you want a shuffled playlist...
Has a few issues...
---
* Can not load a list, stop the list, then open a new list. Errors will happen.
* Some mp3 encodes cant be recognized. Dont know why.
---
Anyway, this is just a fun, spare-time app. have fun.
Needed files: Java. Thats it. And every one has Java installed. Or you should have it installed.
Two binaries is included. .EXE for Windows people, .Jar for those that are either on Mac/Linux, or just want to run using ..
java -jar jukebox.jar
from the commandline.
(Note: this will also show debugging messages in the console)
Play List Generation! This is important! It uses a very old, 90's style generated playlist. This is how you generate it!
1 > copy .mp3 files you want in playlist to new, sepeerate folder.
2 > open cmd.exe
3 > navigate to that folder
4 > type this in the cmd.exe, in that folder.
dir /b /s *.mp3 > MyPlaylist.pls
(Linux listing pending, if you know this in linux BASH, plz post and share)
5 > open Jukebox, navigate to the folder, open the .pls file
There you go. And no, you can not remove the folder with the files afterwards. You can, however, move the new .pls file where ever, as long as the folder with the files still exists intact.
[NOTE] again > This is not a serious, full time app for me, this is a "just for fun" expanding my java skills app. Don't expect further updates. That's not to say that it wont happen, but don't expect it, or tech support. < [NOTE]

Funny thing I was thinking of JAVA recently as well. On mp3 - as I recall those problems are related to VBR (or CBR - not sure which one... ABR?!

someone else repeated that - and that's basically how it all started

for web apps. This, however, is not a web app. That is, it does not use javascript, but actual java.
But it is up to you. This mas become my main media player for mp3's and i think it is pretty safe, if not just ugly.

yes. when they say such for Java they generally mean web apps or such. Or, you know, simply skip that java update.
