With optional store hack intergration

Here we go, time for some music....I have seen a few threads here requesting a jukebox hack.
So here it is...

Once you have installed this hack please keep in mind legal issues we loading your jukebox with songs.
You can add MP3 however it is NOT advisable without permission from the copyright governing bodies in your country.
The jukebox operates in its own seperate browser window

Here are the instalation instructions for the Jukebox hack. It wont take you very long.
As like my other hacks this hack is also designed to operate on its own or with Lesane's store hack
If you have the store hack installed you can make users buy "Jukebox Plays" from the store before they can listen to songs.

The admin area is highly configurable and the jukebox has 4 different modes
1) Off
2) On - Jukebox Plays Needed (Lesane's Store Required)
3) On - Freeplay For Members & Guests
4) On - Freeplay For Members Only

There is also defult audio settings, this defult is used at the beginning of jukebox session (when a user opens the jukebox)
1) You can nominate a defult song. I have recorded an MP3 voice introduction that you can use.
2) You can set it to play the most requested song.
3) No audio

There is also a top 10 song list as well.

DEMO: www.atmyparty.com

Areku and Marzas you really need to learn to chill

One yes it is Illegal but not all mp3`s are illegal esp if u make your own (if u have the talent that is) and if it is based on the buy a midi then good as i dont care as this does the job i want it for.Maybe encouraging hackers and not putting em down is what is needed.If u can do better then lets see it.

You can convert mp3 to swf with flash (5 or mx). Now, it's not easy to explain how to do this, but i shall try to make a tutorial for it.
You can import a mp3 in flash and then click window/library. After that click with the right mousebutton on your mp3 and choose properties and set this as output:

- compression = mp3
- unmark (do not select) convert stereo to mono
- bitrate = 128 kps
- quality =fast

Now, after you've done this you must doubleclick on the first keyframe on the timeline and a sound editwindow apears. Choose the sound from the display and set this:

- effect = none
- sync = stream

Ok, after this you must stretch the output over the whole timeline untill there is no grafical output visible, so make frames (somethimes 2 to 3000 or more) untill all the output is visible. Remove the empty frames after the last visible output. Your streaming swf file is now ready to export. Export the swf as it is, so don't make changes in the output.

Upload this swf file to your server and listen to it in your forum (html enabled or you must have the swf vb code tags installed) with this code:

<embed width="0" height="0" src="http://www.yourserver.com/yourfile.swf">

Or when you have the swf vb code installed:
{SWF=http://www.yourserver.com/yourfile.swf} width="0" height="0"{/SWF}

Remember the { tags must be replaced with [ to let that work.

I'm not understanding. Is this a way to integrate .swf's with the jukebox or just for stand alone playing? If it is to work with the jukebox could you explain where to place the tags? thanks

im sorry, i cant help you with your question...i have built this hack for midi files for legal reasons.

Ok heres one for ya. I got everything installed and all the templates. I uploaded a mp3 and loaded it into the jukebox. It shows up and when you click on it the number of times requested goes up as it should but it does not play. Why?

my post for converting mp3`s to swf works fine and ive used it many times since that post.Also if u read though there is a tag to insert in one of the posts that allows you to play SWF files.

What I think would make this hack even better is if it would start out by playing whatever the person before them to use it is playing, if applicable. Kind of like a regular jukebox where you hear whatever songs are queued up to go next, and if you walk in the room in the middle of a song, that's what you hear.

An interesting idea for those of us that have a great deal of bandwidth to spare: Can this hack possibly be edited to become a theater of sorts?
I.E. A user can browse through a selection of clips instead of music, and 'tickets' can be purchased... then you view a movie complete with mini-player instead of the song coming on.

I know that I'd definitely be interested in such a system. My users are loving the jukebox! (Got almost 30 mp3s on there already. )
