BaZeN Jukebox / News: Recent posts

In this release, 3 major new features are introduced:

Previousely, odd messages would appear on the screen and blank tracks would be added to the playlist when invalid tracks were entered.

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.... read more
