Re: Jukebox Port for FreeBSD?
I run a unix xterm window on my PC's. On any box I can run mp3blaster which I use to select and play my selections. You don't need a graphical term emulator since mp3blaster is ascii. Thanks for your suggestion. However, I'm looking for something that anyone can use, even if they don't have *nix experience. This is why I really like the Globcom Jukebox at http://gjukebox.sourceforge.net/. Unfortunately, it's not in the ports tree. I'm sure that a seasoned hacker would have no trouble getting it to compile and running on FreeBSD but I'm still pretty green. Although I guess it couldn't hurt to try! How else would one become a seasoned hacker? :) It looks like a neat program. The program itself looks like it is written in perl, which would run on any machine. The supporting programs, like nvramwakeup and a few others would have to be installed to freebsd. My guess is, that would be a bigger job. The down side, in my opinion to this program is speed. I would grow impatient waiting for the browser to repaint the screen for a task that I want to execute in a seconds. Regarding using mp3blaster, my 8 year-old son uses it. He doesn't even know what unix is. On my windows boxes, there is always a unix window up and running. In fact, I have the unix window execute from the startup in windows so everytime windows boots, the xterm window logs in as me and is waiting for a command. I renamed mp3blaster to simply music. My son simply types music at the prompt. The menu comes up in a fraction of a second, and he can have songs playing in another 2 seconds. One of the great things I like about unix, is how many programs are not pigs, using all the resouces of the computer for elaborate and often unnecessary graphics.

Jukebox Port for FreeBSD?
I've been searching the web for software that might allow me to build a mp3 jukebox that is controllable remotely via a web interface. In other words, I want to put the jukebox behind my entertainment center and control it with other PCs in my network. Anyway, I found this software that looks promising: http://gjukebox.sourceforge.net/ Does anyone have any experience with this application or any others that might fit my needs? Something in the ports tree would be preferred. Thanks, Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
