What is Universal JukeBox?
Universal JukeBox is a simple software jukebox. It can act as a real jukebox (almost), and play your favorite tracks in several ways. Universal JukeBox makes a shadow copy of all your (added paths), and access the file-paths using a local database. This makes it rocket fast to search for a specific track within all files. Please read below, to get detailed information about Universal JukeBox.

- Local database
    * A local database is used to handle all tracks.
    * Define one more (as many as you kike) paths.
    * Scan the defined paths for files using advanced search schemes - Allowing you to search
       more efficiently for folders-differential, files-differential or do a complete scan.
    * Automatically removes non-existing files from the database (one-way synchronization).
    * Ultra fast file information access. - The file is accessed physically (as a regular player),
       but the file information is collected once, when you scan the media paths.

- Party Mode
    * In this mode, the player works "kind-a" like a normal CD-Player. The user(s) can't seek,
       or skip tracks etc.
    * In this mode, the build-in play list ([Party Mode] ) is used, and user(s) can only add to the list,
       and only in sequential order (new files goes last).
    * In this mode, play time and ETA is calculated for all tracks on the play list. Making it easy for
       user(s) to see what their track in particular is played.
    * In this mode, a playing track is automatically removed from the list, when it has finished playing.
    * This mode is password protected - even an application re-start will not modify the player state.

- Find
    * This function is made quite powerful. When ever you search, you search the internal database for
       optimum speed. Search within 1'000'000s of tracks within milliseconds.
    * This function uses an enhanced scheme to search, meaning the search algorithm searches within
       filename, path and all ID3 tag's inside the file.

- Play Lists
    * You can add as many play lists as you like (just as in a regular media player), but these lists can
       be more dynamically build, using search options, and the opportunity to add several files at once
       or even a complete folder.
    * You can copy tracks from one play list to another, just by right-clicking  on the selected tracks.
    * You can copy any physical file by right-clicking, to any preferred folder. - This makes it very easy
       to copy files for specific needs from the juke box to any location in your file system. The files will
       even be auto-renamed if you have selected several files, with same name.

- Radio Mode
    * Build you own radio channel - well, it's not really a radio, but that's what I prefer to call it.
       When you create your own radio channel in Universal JukeBox, you simple define a set of criteria's
       to follow when Universal JukeBox looks up the next track to play in your radio. These criteria's can
       be +words -words, year and year-range's and genres. - It's really  an easy task to create a new radio.
       When listening to your radio, Universal JukeBox will continue playing all tracks that fulfill your criteria's.

- Logging (not implemented yet)
    * When ever a track is played, it will be recorded into a log. This log can be used to generate several
       kind of lists. Top-100, Top-10, most played tracks, genres, etc. - Cool after a party - you can see what
       people searched the most for, and which tracks was played more than once, and and and and......

- Several play-modes
    * Universal JukeBox has several play-modes. These play-modes are called "EOF and OEL" end of track
       and end of list. You can specify what the player should do when ever a track ends, or when ever a list
       ends. Track-modes are: Next, Random, Repeat, Stop. List-modes are: Next, Random, Repeat, Stop.
    * Random Random - Means that the player makes a shuffled list of ALL your tracks, and plays them
       one by one.

- Advanced Music Visualization
    * Universal JukeBox comes with several music visualizations. (plug in-support might be added).
    * Spectrum Analyzer (with z-compressor, ensuring a perfect scope at all levels).
    * Spectrum Analyzer-shadow peak algorithm - Ensures perfect peak-visualization of peaks and weak's.
    * Dual (stereo) Oscilloscope with full channel separation.
    * Dual Vu-Meter(s) - Full featured Vu-Meter, visualizing currents and peaks.
    * Wave Form generator - Right-click on the seek bar, and choose "generate wave form" to see the file
       in Wave Form - The generated Wave Form is time-static (and precise).

- File information Plug-in support
    * Universal JukeBox comes with a plug-in to retrieve file-information. (ID3 tag's). This plug-in can
       handle mp3 and wma files. But you are free to make your own plug-in.

- Cross Fader
    * A build-in cross fader allows you to mix to tracks.
    * You can choose how to cross-fade and how fast to do it.
    * Choose between "Fade In, Fade Out, Fade In/Out or disabled" - With Fast/normal/slow speed.
    * Dual Channel ensures that not a beat is missed when cross fading!

- Visual Volume and Volume Fader
    * A build-in volume controller ensures that you can control the player volume without having to
       adjust the volume-mixer in windows/platform.
    * The volume is visualized for master and each channel.

- Customizable GUI colors
    * all (or all player) colors can be controlled using a build-in color scheme editor.
       All other colors are adjusted in the platform (in windows, its the appearance tab in the desktop property).

- Radio Import/Export
    * Radio channels can be exported individually to a file.
    * Radio channels can be imported individually from a file.
