(09-19-2015) Touchscreen Jukebox Project

This is a simple touchscreen jukebox project I stared a while back, and just started assembling it this weekend.  It's just a small wooden box with a touchscreen monitor mounted on top, the audio plugs into the audio system in the shop - so the box itself has no speakers (except those built into the laptop computer).


Here is a close up of the software I wrote for this project.  It's super simple, allows you to add a path and create a random playlist based on the votes associated with each track.  The more up votes, the higher the chance to be added, the lower a tracks votes the more chance it won't be played.  Also, this is the debug/maintenance screen - once you turn that mode off the "Empty Database" and "Add Path" buttons are not displayed.

There are a few more features I want to add, but it works for now.  More updates when I get something done worth mentioning.
