the future
The future is partly mapped out for Jukebox. Some
of the proposed ideas are listed below, but bear in mind that these are just
ideas. Some may make it in to the program while others may not.
There is also no time scale as to when anything
will be done, so it could be soon, it could be several versions away, or even
the next ! I am sorry I can't make any promises but bear with me and it will be
included at some point.
- It will support 4-bit LCD drivers and VFD
displays and other output devices.
- It will be able to pick tracks randomly to
play from the information you supply, such as genre and total playing time.
- Be able to fix small problems itself such as
unreadable temporary storage areas etc. to make the unit fairly table! Be able
to make it's own play-lists on the fly so that you don't need to get out a
your copy of WinAmp (or whatever) every time you want to make a play list .
- To be faster and still more reliable.
- Will support many more input devices, from
keypad to Infra-Red.
- Have an external software-controller to make
use in the car even easier.
- Be able to handle MP3 CDs if you have a CDR
drive in your system.
- Be able to copy tracks from a CD without
having to use Windows Explorer.
- Continue to add features and configurability
as needed / requested.
