Bugfixes: - More errormessages when user is doing odd actions. New features: - Now using getID3() from getid3.sourceforge.net to get information about music-files. Advantage: Windows-support (contra mp3info as used before) Advantage: ID3v2-support and (in the future) more formats. - Windows-version with fully automatic installer. The Windows-version is a slightly modified version of XAMPP Lite from http://apachefriends.org/ - Automatic installation script which edits the config.php-file, sets up the database and does an initial indexing of users music-archive. - List of albums with missing frontcovers in administrationpanel. - Fading between songs. The next songs automatically begins playing when there's some seconds left of the previous song (number of seconds can be set in the administrationpanel. Default is 5 seconds).

In this release, 3 major new features are introduced: 1) A Windows-version has now been released with an automatic installer! An installer for other systems is now also included. The Windows-installer uses Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (http://nsis.sourceforge.net) for the installer itself and it uses 7-zip (http://7-zip.org) for compression and selfextraction. 2) Replacement of the mp3info-systemcall, which was used for obtaining (and adding/changing) the id3-tags of mp3-files. Instead the jukebox now uses getid3() from http://getid3.sourceforge.net. This also introduces better filesupport (now id3v2-tags are support, before only id3v1 was). Currently I have only implemented mp3-features, but in the future, formats like Vorbis, FLAC, APE, WMA and so on are likely to be supported, but so far not scheduled. 3) Fading between songs. When the playing song has x seconds of playtime left (customizeable of course), the next song automatically starts playing while the other fades out.
Todays release makes it possible to play the music on the client connecting to the jukebox, instead of on the server, so in case server and client are not the same machine, this could be a great feature. Other minor updates has also been done. All code has been read through and comments has been added where missing, and some comments has been replaced with better ones. Also some minor bugfixes has been implemented: Error-messages when entering invalid album-numbers, artist-numbers og track-numbers where implemented in this release. Previousely, odd messages would appear on the screen and blank tracks would be added to the playlist when invalid tracks were entered.
Bugfixes: - Fixed missing error-messages when entering id to non-existing album or non-existing artist. - Fixed ability to add non-existing songs to playlist, by entering too high a track-number in artists tracks list and added error-message when doing so. New features: - Now there's two options for how to play the music. The original where music plays on the server and the new one where the mp3-file is embedded in the HTML-code. Consult README for instructions. Other updates: - General code cleanup. This should make the code easier to maintain and update especially for other developers. The english language file has also got a full cleanup. - Readme-file both include instructions on the new feature (embedded playing in browser), but now also contains instructions on how to organize the music-archive properly for the indexing-script.
Well, this is the initial, first release :-)
Ever been to a party where some computer acted as a jukebox, with some mediaplayer like Winamp, Windows Media Player or XMMS? Isn't it annoying when whoever decides to change song in the middle of the songs? Isn't it annoying that when you add a song to the playlist, someone just skips it? BaZeN Jukebox is a full-screen party-jukebox with a very easy to use and logical interface, even for people with no computer-knowledge. Although the programming started less than a month ago, the jukebox is already more advanced than most stand-alone jukeboxes outthere.
