(last update - April 29, 2006)
Any music or media file types that you have available in Winamp or associated to Winamp will automatically be available to PartyTime Jukebox.
When you first run PartyTime Jukebox, the default music file type that will be used is "MP3" however, to use any other file types as default for your collection, you must go to PartyTime Jukebox's control panel ->Properties and select it from the drop down
list of media extensions.
Note that you now have the possibility to also fetch folders having a mixture of
file types and have them display into you collection as well by selecting the
"Use all supported media extensions inside the media extension list and display each file with its own individual extension."
option and immediately rebuilding your current collection.
Choosing this option, as you can see, will also display all file extensions
throughout your entire collection, basically so that you know which file types
you are looking at. If showing these file extensions is not desirable to you, in
this case then you must choose from one of the media extension inside the list and select
the "Use only the selected media extension and hide all extensions from view."
option.
You can now also, load any individual media file that you wish, into your
current playlist by clicking on the "..." button located within the
control panel or while in mode 2, from within the playlist context menu.

Any one of GIF, JPG, BMP format are valid image files for PartyTime Jukebox, however since JPG offers the best compromise between size and quality and that it seems to be the most widely used format throughout the Internet, it is the most recommended format to use with PartyTime Jukebox.
Note that you need only have one of those image file available inside each music folder in order to be displayed by PartyTime Jukebox. You can nonetheless mix any of these format around. IE: Have a gif image inside one folder while having a bitmap or a jpg yet in another folder.

This is a tricky question... First it would depend on your available RAM (Random Access Memory) and how many thumbnails (music folders) you are planning to have displayed in your collection at one time. if you decide to scan all of your CD cover at a resolution of 400 x 400 pixels, you could expect to use up twice the amount of RAM than if you were to scan them all at 200 x 200 pixels. Obviously the higher resolution will give you sharper images on your screen (even if these end up to be scaled down when displayed in PartyTime Jukebox). If you have a screen resolution set to a fairly high setting such as 1024 X 768 pixels only then would it warrant using anything higher than 200 x 200 pixels for all your images. As a general rule of thumb, using the standard internet 200 x 200 pixels for your album covers will produce acceptable results for any screen resolution that you may have your monitor set at. Note: see minimum system requirement also. [ Back | Go to top | TOC ]

Well, short of designing your own custom art work for a particular album, you could always use the image below as a temporary album cover.
Simply paste it inside the folder for which you cannot find any art work and it will automatically appear in your collection when you start PartyTime Jukebox.
(Actual size is 145 x 145 pixels)
Here is also a series of JPG images I've created which I'm using inside my internet download folders. It isn't any great art work but If you don't feel like making your own, feel free to use them. Actual images size are 200 x 200 pixels.
With this in mind, here are some typical directory structures you can used with PartyTime Jukebox...
[Full album method]
If you are starting your complete music album collection from scratch, the example below would be an ideal folder and file naming convention to follow. I.E. Match each folder to an album's title then each file inside to one of the album's track.
Note that providing the track's number is highly recommended since this will also make sure that all tracks are in proper order.
[By genre or style method]
Here, the simplest way is to divide your folders according to the style and genre of music you might have then sort out the content of all your music accordingly.
[By alphabetical order method]
If you intend to have or already have thousands of individual music files and no complete albums then you could break up your folders into several sections alphabetically and sort out the content of all your music accordingly.
These modes are strictly used for business purposes and are designed to prevent customers from accessing certain functions within PartyTime Jukebox. To chose one mode over the other, you would have to decide ahead of time if your customers would be paying for the music selections they chose in PartyTime Jukebox (mode 1) or simply provide the music selections for free to them (mode 0).
These are the two business mode offered by PartyTime Jukebox at this time. In these modes, the maximum selection credits to each customer has to be set ahead of time. (the default credit amount for mode 1 is 4 whereas it is set at 6 for mode 0)
In a typical Mode 1 setup, someone has to be assigned to receive the money from the customers (usually someone at the bar or a clerk) and once money is received, this person would then give away the allocated credits by pressing the F5 key on the keyboard.
In a typical Mode 0 setup, no one needs to be assigned to do such task. Every customers are only allowed to select the number of tracks up to the credit limits set by you or PartyTime Jukebox's administrator ahead of time.
Credits in mode 0 are not given out but rather become available as soon as a selection is done playing.
For further information on using PartyTime Jukebox for business purpose see "Why register PartyTime Jukebox?"

This function is absolutely necessary for business modes 0 and 1 in order to prevent anyone from accessing PartyTime Jukebox' control panel or shutting it down from within control panel.
You may wish to set a numeric password while in mode 2 (personal use) as well to obtain the same end results. It is important to know however that having a numeric password set will not prevent anyone from shutting down PartyTime Jukebox by using the Task manager while running on windows 2000 or XP systems.
The only secure way of preventing this on such systems would be to physically disable the windows shortcut keyboard key, the Control and Alt keyboard keys. Disabling the Delete key is not recommended here since it is sometimes required when performing
track search.
Having a numeric password set will nonetheless prevent anyone from accessing the task manager while running on windows 95-98 and millennium systems.
Note that the escape key is also automatically disabled when a keycode is used (see "Special Function Keyboard keys" above).
You can set or change your numeric password/keycode from within PartyTime
Jukebox's control panel.
NOTE:To erase your keycode, click on the keypad icon located in the control
panel and press "Remove"

It is a well known unfortunate
fact that nearly
all pre 1990 albums will have a 3 to 10 db drop in the overall sound level
compared to today's new CD releases?
Not a big deal when you only want to play one of those album
alone but this becomes quite annoying when playing a mixture of tracks ripped from new and old CD's.
Tell me more...
Ok, so let's say you've just done ripping
and encoding a complete album form an older CD when you suddenly realize that
all the resulting tracks seem to have a lower overall sound level than that
produced with a newer CD.
At this point you're probably thinking...
"No sweat, I'll just rip the CD again and use the built in
"Normalizing" feature in my audio grabber software."
OR...
"No problem, I'm using a software or hardware compressor / limiter with
all my music playback."
The first
option is nothing less than a quick fix (sadly used by far too
many people) to try to cure the problem. This
"quick fix" unfortunately will make things quite messy on any non stop
albums as you CANNOT evenly normalize a whole album when applying normalization
only one track at a time. The only
way to a achieve half decent normalization then, is to rip your entire CD in one
pass, normalize the resulting humongous wav file and split up your tacks again
afterward, but let's face it... who the hell can possibly enjoy going through
such torture? That's right nobody in their right mind.
The second
option is just as terrible if not worst!
Even when using the best available software or hardware compressor / limiter out
there, anyone with half decent hearing should be able to hear the terrible audio
artifact generated by these devices not to mention the lost in the dynamic range.
(sometimes referred to as "headroom")
How does MP3Gain work?
MP3Gain stores each track’s volume
information inside the mp3 tags in case you want to undo the volume change and
revert back to the original file’s volume level later on.
The actual gain correction is made in the header of each MPEG audio files
and since the audio portion of the file will always remain untouched, this
correction process is said to be truly lossless.
(i.e. without any additional losses)
You are therefore able to change this gain at will back and forth without any
loss to the audio data itself !
In conclusion…
It is my firm belief that using MP3Gain
is by far a better way of achieving sound level consistency amongst all of your
mp3 albums than by "normalizing" or using any
compressor / limiter after the facts.

It is interesting to note that using Winamp's v 2.64 of the IN_MIDI.DLL plugin will give you the ability to assign any particular soundfonts to replace your GM soundset, whereas I did not see such option in the v3.01 of the same plug-in which comes bundled with winamp 2.91. It is hard to imaging why this change occurred or maybe it is still there but I just cannot see it :)
If unfortunately, your
soundcard does not support or enable you to load soundfonts, you may as well skip this
section :(
but if you would like to learn more :) feel free to keep reading and check out some of
the links provided below as well.
To those unfamiliar with soundfonts it would be worth noting that the changes brought about by using a rich soundfont bank/library verses your basic general midi instrument sounds is quite considerable in itself. Soundfonts will improve on the sound realism you get back by a big stretch and can be as radically different in comparison to the low grade General Midi instrument sounds as adding colors to a faded gray tone image would do.
In any event If you have been contemplating the purchase of an
expensive external pc sound module to replace all of your skimpy MIDI sounds, you
may be pleasantly surprised to hear the difference such soundfonts can
bring about first!
So... even though I am now using winamp 2.91 (mainly because of its video
support) with PartyTime Jukebox, I have decided to revert back to using the
latter 2.64 MIDI plug-in instead of the 3.01 for the ease with which you can
switch around your soundfont in a breeze.
You can still get v 2.64 of the IN_MIDI.DLL plug-in from this
site but who knows for how long it will remain available?

For version 2.7.14 and beyond, simply click on blue down-pointing arrow within PTJ's control panel.
NOTE: Minimizing will however prevent
all internal timer activities including automatic music track logging.

Actually, the album locating feature is not only limited to the
currently playing track but will work on any of your playlist entries as well.
You can locate the album cover of any playlist entries by clicking on the playlist entry.
[ Back | Go
to top | TOC ]
You can do this by accessing winamp's preference -> Plug-Ins -> Input and into the IN_MIDI.DLL's configurations.
Once there:
1) Go to the Display Tab and check the box "Show lyrics window while
playing"
2) Restart the kar or midifile that was playing and the
karaoke window should now appear onto the background window.

At this time there is only one command line option available.
You can specify the full path of a pjb collection file that you would like to load, by adding this path to the command line.
Here's how to use the command line on your PTJ desktop shortcut
for example.
Inside the target box of the shortcut's property type in path like so:
"C:\Program Files\PartyTime Jukebox 2.8\PartyTime Jukebox.exe" "C:\Program Files\PartyTime Jukebox 2.8\Collections\Rock.pjb"
(change your path accordingly). more...
- Open winamp's preferences--->Go to Plug-Ins --> Input
- Double-click on---> Nullsoft MPEG Audio Decoder 2.81 [IN_MP3.DLL]
- Select: Streaming tab-->Streaming Extensions
- Un-check: Include stream name in title, box.
- Select: Title Tab --> Title formatting ( default )
- select default:%7 in order to show filename only inside winamps playlist.
Note: This winamp setting works best with PartyTime Jukebox because the text displayed inside PTJ's back screen top-most window will be kept to a minimum.
It will now only show the shoutcast title and strip away the usually long stream name that follows the steam title.
Now if you would ever want to have the text inside PTJ's back screen top-most window formatted so that it matches PTJ's own playlist format, you can also do this by simply going into PTJ's properties:
PTJ's Properties--> Gen1-->Back screen2--> Top-most window text formatting and select "Same as PT Jukebox's own playlist formatting".

*.pjb files are used to load any collection in PartyTime Jukebox that you may have previously customized to your own liking.
Saving your collection to a .pjb file will in effect keep a record of what albums/thumbnails were showing inside PartyTime Jukebox at that time.
Similar to how you would normally save a Word document for example to be able to reload that same document at a later time.
At this time the only settings saved with each collection files are:
The full paths of all the displayed albums inside PartyTime Jukebox.
The value specific to the amount of thumbnails per row.
Several ways to launch them!
From inside the GUI
From outside the GUI
Notes regarding “launching from outside the GUI”
If no previous instances of the software is running then for the above methods to work, the option to “Load last saved collection file automatically (if any)” must be
selected inside PTJ’s properties section GEN.2 -->
Misc.1 Default start-up settings
For # 1 to work, the software must be installed so file association can be established first. The exe queried will then be the one residing in default installation
location.
To save to a .pjb collection file:
From the thumbnail or album listing window, select “Load / Save” from right click context menu, then “Save current collection” or “Save current collection As…”
From the control panel, simply click on the icon identical to the one shown below.

PROBLEM:
I have Winamp 3 installed on my system but when I launch PartyTime Jukebox I get an
error message saying "REQUIRED WINAMP.EXE MISSING !" Why is this
happening?
SOLUTION:
PartyTime Jukebox WILL NOT work with Winamp 3 so please make sure to install any
one of the winamp versions excluding version 3 or PartyTime Jukebox will not be able to
run.
You can still download a copy of Winamp 2.x from Winamp's web site at: http://classic.winamp.com/
or Winamp 2.81 from this site directly.
There should be no problem having another Winamp version residing on the same system,
although you should always close Winamp3 prior to launching PartyTime Jukebox,
as version 3 is known to use up more resources than any of its predecessors.
SOLUTION:
This feature has now been
implemented in version 2.7.17 and will remain for all future versions :)
The search engine as it was prior to version 2.7.17, would only return tracks found inside
the current collection, and not the
artist's name (folder's name) as well so, if you are using a version prior to
2.7.17 you should download the latest version from above :)
REGARDING THE SEARCH ENGINE:
The reason it was initially limited to track titles is that I realized that, speed wise, if
you were to click on the "A - Z" control which is located in the
center of the up down scroll buttons, and click on the letter starting with the
artists name it would usually be faster in finding a specific artist then having to type in the artist's name
in the search query box ;)
PROBLEM:
I only have a few music folders on my big hard drive. Why
does it show "searching" for so long?
SOLUTION:
To speed up the collection loading process
drastically, you should always create yourself separate music directories on
your hard drive and try grouping all of your related music folders together
inside each of those directories.
Selecting any particular directory or folder instead of the drive letter as your
collection's master folder then will cut down on the loading process immensely.
NOTE: To cancel a loading process and choose another folder or directory as your collection's master folder, simply hit "Escape" and immediately rebuild your collection by accessing PartyTime's control panel and clicking on the binocular icon.
PROBLEM:
Whenever I launch PTJ it eventually freezes and stops responding at a specific point in time !
SOLUTION:
If PTJ stops responding when trying to load a collection it is most likely due to a corrupt picture sitting inside one of the folders.
There is no known cure for this issue at this time so In such case you will have to locate the folder containing the corrupt image, delete the corrupt image and replace it with a proper one.
This issue will also occur whenever a picture has only been partially downloaded from the Internet.
PROBLEM:
After choosing the correct music directory/master folder inside PartyTime
Jukebox, I still cannot see any of my albums on the screen. Why?
SOLUTION:
This is likely due to having your image files properties set to hidden or that
your music files do not correspond to the media extension that you have set as
default inside PartyTime Jukebox. You should:
1) If any of your image files/album covers are set to "Hidden" , make sure to set them all to archive or read only. To verify or correct this, right click on each file and chose properties then simply check the appropriate box. Also make sure that none of your music files are set to hidden as well.
2) Check to make sure that the media extension shown inside PartyTime Jukebox's control panel ---> Properties ---> General 1 correspond to the extension of your music files.
NOTE: See also FAQ on Image file types you can use with PartyTime Jukebox?
PROBLEM:
After loading a huge collection inside PartyTime Jukebox, I notice that some of
the albums are not showing at the bottom of the thumbnail area inside PartyTime
Jukebox. Why?
SOLUTION:
This problem arises whenever a huge collection (over 650) gets loaded in
PartyTime Jukebox and that the thumbnails are set to appear as 3 or 6 wide per
row inside the thumbnail area. Windows own picture size limitation is the cause
of this problem and the only solution in such case is to decrease the displayed
thumbnail size by selecting 9 or 12 thumbnails wide per row.
This will then makes it possible to display all of the thumbnails inside the
thumbnails area..
You can change this setting by going into PartyTime Jukebox's control panel ---> Properties ---> Gen. 4 ---> Memory usage settings
PROBLEM:
I' ve
downloaded the light install package for PartyTime Jukebox from your download
area and now I get "A required .DLL file was not
found" error message. Why?
NOTE:
Regarding Microsoft's Visual Basic 6 (SP5) Runtime Library
If you do download the light install from our download area and do not have the
required Visual Basic 6 SP5 runtime library installed on your system first, you
will most likely receive an error message stating that 'A required .DLL file was
not found', 'Runtime error' or 'Error: the file msvbvm60.dll could not be
found.'
At this point you can either download the full install from the Download area or
download latest Visual Basic 6 (SP5) directly from
this link
on Microsoft's Web site. The current set is Service Pack 5
(SP5) released in late March 2001.
The package will install msvbvm60.dll, oleaut32.dll, olepro32.dll, asycfilt.dll, comcat.dll, stdole2.tlb and a few others files.
To install the required library on your system, simply
run the file from Microsoft and all files will be copied to their correct
location.
PROBLEM:
The problem I am experiencing is not listed here the troubleshooting
section. What else can I do?
SOLUTION:
The
procedures described below were meant for hard to track down problems and errors
only! (use with care)
If this still cannot fix your problem, please use our discussion forums to
post your problem.
First
thing you should do is to remove all entries from winamp's playlist
and close winamp down.
Leave it closed when trying any of these procedures below since PartyTime
Jukebox will open it for you automatically.
1.)
Delete or rename a file called Application.ini which should be located inside
PartyTime Jukebox.exe folder. Run PartyTime Jukebox again.
The only draw back to this is that you will have to set-up some of your configurations
over again inside PartyTime Jukebox.
NOTE: It might also be a good time to try
re-installing PartyTime Jukebox with the latest version/build. Since a
newer build gets uploaded whenever a legitimate bug is being reported,
downloading and installing PTJ over (even if version number is the same) may
cure your particular problem. This will also generate a new Application.ini file
as well.
2.) A
little more drastic but will often resolve hard to track down errors is to
rename a file called Winamp.ini located inside your Winamp.exe folder and
launch PartyTime Jukebox again. A new Winamp.ini
3.)
Back up any important folders or data you may have inside your winamp folder and
try reinstalling a clean version of winamp.
Troubleshooting (midi/kar)
PROBLEM:
SOLUTION:
When installing Winamp you have probably omitted the check the box entitled
"Support for MIDI files".
You should do a back up of your winamp plugin folder and reinstall your version
of winamp an make sure that this box is checked before continuing on with the
rest of the installation.
You can also download the plugin alone (v 2.64) from this
web site and place it inside your winamp plug-in folder.
NOTE: You should always close winamp first before adding any such DLL manually.
This will ensure that the plug-in becomes available the next time you restart
winamp.
PROBLEM:
I would like to edit some of the lyrics on a few of my kar files using the edit
box you provide behind the album cover window (bottom left) but no text appear in the box
whenever a kar is playing. What am I doing wrong?
SOLUTION:
You are not doing anything wrong! This feature has really
nothing to do with karaoke. It is only provided as a
mean of enabling you to save, edit or review whatever information you have on a
particular song or album.
It is not limited any one specific file type in particular but can be handy when
wanting to save or display lyrics of non midifiles.
When there is no other means to see, save or edit the lyrics to such files.

Why did I make this software?
A few years back when I was a Jukebox style DJ in my spare times (weddings etc.) I needed a way to remove some of the stress that unavoidably came with each gig, so I started looking for a piece of software that I could easily work with on any given day.
Quite frankly I was not able to find one that came even close to what I needed.
Faced with such predicament, I immediately went to work on developing one of my own. One that would not only be tailored to my own DJ requisites, but one that could also be used in unattended circumstances such as a stand alone jukebox player.
I already had gained a fair amount of knowledge of audio extraction and compression techniques and therefore had a good portion of my CD collection compressed to a hard drive already.
The idea that I could go out and purchase one of those 100 gig hard drive at a fairly cheap price and keep building up my collection, enticed me even more! Also not negligible, was the fact that a lot of my close friends had fair descent CD collections themselves and would let me borrow their CD's at anytime so that I could add to my own collection.
Still, that never turned me off from buying CD'S. Gosh no!! To date, I own well over a 1000 CD'S and my physical CD collection is still and ALWAYS will grow.
I view this whole process rather as an effective way to let us "music lovers" preserve our valued music collection.
In fact, when I'm done with a newly purchased CD now, I promptly place it along side the others in my CD library. This of course, in order to protect it (for years to come) from its worst enemy... human hands!
I am no longer in the DJ business, however throughout that time, I've managed quite easily to convert my whole family to using PartyTime Jukebox. The truth is, no one really did like having to go through my entire CD collection at home.
Well, who I am to blame them... ;-)
