The Jukebox app plays music records from a Playbook just like a real classic jukebox, including sound effects and animations. The layout and design depends on the selected Jukebox Model and is fully customizable, preset models are available. Pro users can create their own Jukebox Models and import/export Jukebox Models for sharing. You can build your personal record collection from local or localized music files. Formats supported are MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, AAC or FLAC. Meta-tags are read automatically, including album art, and all information can be edited. Supports scanning and rescanning directory sources to find all your music. Music files from remote locations will be copied to your device so that the music is always available, with or without internet connection. No internet required, the Jukebox plays local music files. So ideal when traveling by plane, car or camper van. Supports CarPlay. Records can be added to the Jukebox Playbook. Tracks can be selected from the Playbook directly or by using selection keys or selection wheels (depending on the model). Selected tracks are added to the queue, which is fully editable (except in kiosk mode). Supports auto selection. The Playbook can be filled with singles (45’s) and elpees (33’s) from your personal record collection. The size and layout of the Playbook varies per Jukebox Model and is fully customizable. Supports auto filling the playbook. The music is played over the speakers of your device or over remote speakers connected by bluetooth or wifi. Supports AirPlay, so it integrates well e.g. with Sonos systems. Kiosk mode is available to allow use of the app by guests e.g. at parties or in pubs. In kiosk mode queue handling is limited and access to settings requires authentication. The free Jukebox App plays in trial mode: fully functional but shows a trial banner and plays random jingles after a number of songs. In app purchases allow to upgrade to the standard license, which shows no banner and disables the random jingles. Upgrading to the pro license will unlock functionality to create, import and export your own customized Jukebox Model. Highly recommended for designing your own Jukebox Models and sharing it with other pro users. A small set of copyright free music is included in the app so that you can immediately try out all functionality before adding your own music files. All information and music files are stored on your device only, nothing is uploaded to the cloud or any internet service.
