Mine, is currently patterned (roughly) after iTunes.
It parses the iTunes Library.xml file then publishes playlists and
tracks to a web browser.
The UI is an approximation of the iTunes desktop application.
My latest discovery (thanks to Rick's KCJukebox) was that you can imbed
a player in your html.
This solved several issues:
1) You can play songs continuously (playlists)
2) You can override the current song/playlist by selecting another
3) you can prevent (mostly) unauthorized copying/saving of the media.
I am using the QuickTime browser plugin, available free for Mac and
Win, at:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
You need to get the latest version.
In my fooling around with QuickTime I discovered that you can script it
and control it with _javascript_.
QuickTime will play movies and mp3, etc so it is a good choice for a
multi-media Jukebox.
I plan to add photos/slideshows/movies/text in later versions.
Anyway, if you want, have a look at my initial effort at:
http://67.124.145.42/cfusion/myMedia/
I haven't tested it on all browsers -- any feedback will be appreciated.
TIA

PS. This is one of the apps that is a good candidate for CFAnywhere
(you could put a self-contained package on a CD/DVD).
