 Hey, why call my computer a jukebox?

Not because it is. But because it can be. By Bella Tu

Hey, why call my computer a jukebox?
The modern jukebox is a far more personal experience than the classic, glowing, vinyl playing jukeboxs of the 40s and 50s. Wurlitzer still make jukeboxes, but I'm talking about the jukebox to be controlled via your computer.

An audio software application is usually referred to as a jukebox if its features include playing various different audio and video formats, or if it allows several types of format conversions and/or processes. The use of jukebox in a program's name or title implies an ability to allow you to convert your computer into a music playing machine by the use of playlists, where party goers might add their selections to the queue whilst an audio file/song is already being played, much like the classic jukebox. Some of these programs even support the display of cover art and lyrics, something the original jukeboxes lacked.

Here are some programs on MP3Machine to check out:
