I'm beginning to agree it is now overspec'ed. But only because I'm
thinking now (thanks to input from you folks) about making a marketable
version instead of one for my own pool hall.
When I say jukebox, I mean ones like these:

Forgot all about Freevo, I'll have to see how easy it is to make it bend
to my ways (or, maybe the freevo developers would help me with it in
exchange for some press + % of profits if I market it)
Speaking of marketing it Someone said I should, which I didn't think
about before, so I'm sort of
This is just a long shot, but have you had a look at Freevo?

Oh, but there's something so _satisfying_ about watching the CD changer
in motion.
(I'm not kidding. That's why jukeboxes have a glass front.)
Maybe you could simulate the changer with computer graphics?

Indeed. I'm thinking the CD changer would just overly complicate
things. Right now, I feel 500GB of RAID 5 SATA storage will probably
provide enough space plus plenty of room to grow. If I don't have a search
feature, odds are I'll end up just deleting/moving the files off and
loading new ones on.

Hi gang,
I was looking at purchasing a jukebox recently for a poolhall. When
all is said and done, I found a refurbished 100 cd jukebox which I
thought was really nice, until I heard the price - $4500. This is on
par with a lot of older refurbished models, and the price can double
for newer on
