Now Playing
(Updated 4/27/05)
Videos can be viewed on either the Artists page (shown above) or on
the Now Playing screen (shown to the left). Notice how the
display changes from it's normal square shape (for CD cover art) to a
4:3 aspect rectangle to eliminate distortion.

Listings
(Updated 4/27/05)
Videos can be selected just like any other song in the jukebox.
All videos titles will be marked with a small video camera, as shown
to the left.
And notice how the logo at the top keeps changing colors...that's
because it can be animated now!

Screensaver
(Updated 4/27/05)
The next version will include it's own internal screensaver to
avoid touchscreen burn in. The 3D logo moves around the screen
and alternates with 12 CD cover screen, which can be set to scroll
through the available CD covers automatically.

12 CD Cover View
(Updated 3/16/05)
Notice the sorting buttons two thirds
down on the left hand side. The CD Covers can now be sorted 3
different ways. And when they are sorted by year, as they are
here, the scrollbar will show you which decade you are looking at. |

Genres/Decades
(Updated 3/16/05)
The genres screen has been redesigned
to include the decades all of all of the songs in the Music Library.
The buttons have been made larger to be more touchscreen friendly too.
Also, no longer will selecting a genre
filter everything...instead, you will be presented with a screen
like... |

Search Results
(Updated 3/16/05)
...this one.
This screen is actually the result of a
search of titles for the word 'LOVE', but the genres screen looks much
the same. The small scrollbar
has been replaced with the familiar touchscreen scrollbar and buttons. |
|
|
Queue Screen
(Updated 3/16/05)
The Queue Screen has been updated to
be much more graphical and touchscreen friendly. And notice the
remaining time is displayed and constantly updated in the lower right
corner.
Also notice, on the left hand side,
the number of the songs in the queue is always visible, regardless of
which screen you're viewing. |

History Screen
(Updated 3/16/05)
The History Screen has also had a
makeover. Again, the tiny scrollbars have been replaced and
cover art is displayed for every song. |

The Options Screen has been made much
more graphical and touchscreen ready too. Of course, this one is
not quite finished yet!!

button will bring you to... |

General Options
(Updated 3/16/05)
...this screen.
Note how all of the checkboxes have been
made larger. No more struggling when trying to touch that little
target with your index finger!!
And many of the options have been
grouped together in a more logical location for easier access. |
