Juke v3.0 - Multimedia Player

If you're looking for a simple, yet full featured program that 
can play all your music, sound and video files plus audio CDs, 
you have just found it: Juke 3.0. 

Juke lets you create playlists or albums intuitively by dag and 
drop with the Explorer. You can even drag directories onto Juke 
and Juke will add all supported media files from these direc-
tories to the playlist. Also organzing items within the playlist 
is as easy as drag and drop. Of cause, you can save playlist 
into files for later use. Or you may send them via e-mail to a 
friend. This is very useful if your media files are accessible 
via a company or campus wide network.

Did you ever become annoyed by CD-Players that forced you to 
enter the titles of your CDs over and over again, because they 
all use their native database? Not so with Juke. Juke simply 
shares the CD database of the Windows CD-Player and its editor 
is even more convenient.

Do you want to hear background music everytime you work at the 
PC? With Juke this is absolutely no problem. Simply add all your
sound files to the Juke playlist and add Juke to the "Startup" 
program group. That's all. At Windows startup Juke will auto-
matically pick up from the playlist item where it left off when 
you shut it down. And it won't annoy you with any user inter-
face. When minimized, only a small icon in the system tray will 
remind you of its presence.

Juke uses the Windows multimedia architecture (MCI). That's why 
it is compatible with all kinds of compressed audio and video 
files, ie. WAV, AVI, MID, RMI and CDA. And it is open for 
additional formats, like MPG, MP2, AU, SND, AIF and many more 
that will be installed by Microsoft ActiveMovie, DirectSound or 
Internet Explorer. Third party drivers are available for FLI, 
MOV, JPG and various MOD formats. Build-in support for MPEG 
Layer-3 (MP3), RealAudio (RA) and Amiga modules (MOD etc.) is 
currently under development.

In addition, Juke includes the following features:
- Random play, Configurable Intro-Scan, Repeat and Shuffle mode
- Optional automatic MIDI-Reset
- Support for Soundlaster AWE32/AWE64 sound fonts
- Search for tracks within the playlist
- Rename or delete files
- Master volume control
- Position slider for seek control, fast forward, rewind
- Multiple Undo/Redo for playlist operations
- Very flexible graphical user inteface
- Fault tolerant mode

Juke will run on any computer running Microsoft Windows 95. A 
Windows compatible sound card is recommended.

Juke is multi-lingual. Currently, support for English and German
language is available. Juke will examine your system preferences
and automatically show up in the language of your choice. A 
Unicode version is available for use with Microsoft Windows NT.

Juke is distributed as freeware. That means, you may use it any 
time and for any purpose, provided you do not try to debug or 
modify it. You may also copy the program as you like. You have 
permission to add it to any freeware or shareware collection. 
However, you must not sell Juke. If you plan to use Juke for 
commercial purposes, e.g. for operation a radio station, or if 
you add it to a CD-ROM, please inform the author.
