Jukebox Commander

Previous Revision History

24th November 2003 - v3.8.7
OAdded support for the Play, Stop, Previous and Next Track buttons on multimedia keyboards.
OAdded option to allow you to either use the Wave device or the "All" device when adjusting the volume and mute on the PC.
OAdded options for each type of window, for whether to prompt you before performing a drag and drop action.
OAdded command-line option to rebuild the music collection window. Just start JBCommander with the following options:
      -rebuild ["-fMusicCollectionFilename"] [-a] [-u] [-d] [-q]
  -rebuild tells it to rebuild the music collection;
  -f tells it where the music collection database is (you shouldn't need to do this);
  -a tells it to do a full rebuild instead of how its set in the options window;
  -u tells it to do a modified only rebuild instead of how its set in the options window;
  -d tells it to do a modified and deleted rebuild instead of how its set in the options window; and
  -q tells it to rebuild without displaying any status window (unless there is an error).
A menu option has been added to JBCommander's group in the Start Menu to do a rebuild.
OAdded Music Collection option to set newly added files to "Don't Sync".
OAdded option to show/hide the Sync button on the toolbar.
OFixed bug where long Id3 comments were causing a runtime error when added to the music collection.
OFixed bug where closing one of two windows resulted in the remaining window not being maximized.
OFixed bug where turning off icons on the toolbar caused JBCommander to get a run-time error the next time JBCommander is started up and a window is opened.

20th September 2003 - v3.8.6
OAdded options in the General section to show/hide the Jukebox etc buttons on the main toolbar.
OAdded different templates for the currently playing track displayed on the system tray icon, and the small, medium, and integrated players.
OAdded right-click menu to small and medium audio players.
OAdded code to prevents filenames transferred to the LX from beginning with a space - these files cause the LX to display a fatal system error.
OChanged Send To Clipboard and File options to get a 95% increase in speed.
OChanged logic so that it remembers the file list sorting for each part of the tree - i.e., you can turn on sorting by title in an Album and it won't affect how it appears when you are viewing the transfer queue etc.
OChanged message window to use icons and displays background better than previous one.
OChanged slider control used on player.
OChanged Options window to have more of an XP look to it.
OFixed bug where transferring tracks in a playlist to the LX or MuVo caused a runtime error. It will now ignore the playlist name on the MuVo, and for the LX if specified by a new option, it will transfer the tracks to a folder named the same as the playlist.
OFixed bug where double-clicking the JBCommander system tray icon while transferring files and the overwrite dialog box is being shown, caused a run-time error. It now detects this situation and sets focus to the dialog box.
OFixed bug where the PC File Types option was not being saved correctly.

28th July 2003 - v3.8.5
OAdded missing control to installation.

26th July 2003 - v3.8.5
OAdded option for transferring Audio files to specify the maximum length for folder names created on the LX.
OAdded option to choose which characters to remove from folder names created on the LX. It is useful to remove characters such as spaces from the name to maximize the amount of folder name being shown on the LX's screen.
OAdded option to remove redundant information from the filename if its in the folder name when transferring files to the LX. Only tokens that are in lowercase such as "$a" are considered when this options is turned on. If it does find that the expanded text of a token is already in the name of the folder, then the token is not expanded and any constant text to the left of the token is also removed. For example, if the template is "$N\$#-$T-$a" and the Album title is "The Best Of U2" and the Artist is "U2" then this will expand to a folder of "The Best Of U2" and a filename of "02-Pride" instead of "02-Pride-U2" etc. This is useful to minimize the filenames that scroll in the LCD screen, yet allows for compilation albums where the artist might be different for each track.
OAdded option to delete all files from the LX instead of formatting it. This should be faster than formatting it, in most cases.
OAdded option to remove empty folders when deleting files.
OAdded $R token for filename etc templates to expand to the name of the folder containing the file in question.
OAdded more feedback and ability to cancel when rebuilding Music Collection is initially scanning for sub folders.
ORe-arranged the options window so that all the options related to each device were grouped together in one or more sections close to each other.
OSplit out the options for connecting to the Jukebox/Nomad II, syncing the time, and disconnecting/reconnecting on minimize/restore into 2 separate settings for the Jukebox, and the Nomad II.
OSplit out the options for file types and deleting/recycling files into 2 separate settings for the Music Collection and the PC windows.
OFixed bug where deleting last file in album etc was not deleting the album etc from the tree even though it was configured to.
OFixed bug where specifying the template for a file on the LX device resulting in the a folder name with a space at the end, failed to transfer.
OFixed bug where rebuilding the Music Collectin cache got a runtime error if a playlist referred to a file that did not exist, or in folders that the current user did not have permission to access.
OFixed bug where settings for audio folders being sent to the MuVo and LX were being applied to data files as well.
OFixed bug where icon on transfers from the PC to the MuVo was being shown as to the Jukebox.

7th July 2003 - v3.8.4
OAdded support for the Creative LX100/200 Players.
OAdded options to prompt before overwriting current transfer and play queues when backing up and restoring the backup copies.
OAdded option when rebuilding the Music Collection database to look at not only the modified folders but also to remove the references to files that have been deleted from the PC outside of JBCommander.
OFixed bug where tracks with blank album tags did not display in the file list in the Music Collection window.
OFixed bug where play queue in Music Collection window was not being reloaded after Refresh button was pressed.

14th June 2003 - v3.8.3
OAdded option for the Music Collection to either scan all folders or just the ones that have changed since the last scan. Choosing the 2nd option is only guaranteed to be reliable on NTFS partitions, but it can save a lot of time if you are only looking to pick up new music.
OAdded option to specify the location of where playlists are stored when created in the Music Collection window and not saved to a specific location. By default it is in the "Music Collection" sub-folder under the JBCommander installation folder. If you change this value and have playlists in the old location, you must move the files also.
OAdded option to specify the location of the database that is used to hold all the Music Collection information. By default it is "Music Collection.mdb" in the JBCommander installation folder. If you change this value, you must move the database file also.
OAdded the Modified column to the list of available columns for displaying in the file list for groups (such as albums, artists etc). This is only relevant to the Music Collection and PC Explorer windows.
OAdded Backup and Reload buttons to the File List toolbar. These buttons are enabled for the play queue and transfer queues and allow you to backup and restore the current contents of the relevant queue to a file (one for each window - Jukebox, Music Collection etc). This is really useful if you want to re-arrange the contents of the MuVo, or want to copy content to the MuVo then later re-call the transfer queue so you can remove the tracks you've already listened to and add new ones at the end etc.
OFixed bug where deleting a data file in the Music Collection window failed with an error. The file was physically being removed but the database was not updated to reflect this.
OFixed bug where the play queue was not reloaded after rebuilding the music collection or Jukebox cache.

OFixed config settings required to make Windows XP show JBCommander in the XP style.

13th May 2003 - v3.8.1
OAdded a feature for the Jukebox and Music Collection to allow you to automatically create playlists based on the the file tags. For example, "$G Songs" will create a playlist for each Genre like "Pop Songs", "Rock Songs" etc, or "Tracks from $Y" for "Tracks from 1994" etc. The unregistered version of JBCommander can only create 5 playlists.
OAdded logic that dramatically speeds up transfers to the MuVo from files on network drives.
OAdded option to preserve the settings.dat file when formatting the MuVo's memory.
OAdded max line width options for both Export and Clipboard data formats.
OEnhanced the Export function in the Music Collection window to more efficiently use the database. It should now run a lot faster with large Music Collections and use less memory.

OChanged logic so that right-clicking a node on the tree doesn't cause the file list to be refreshed with its contents.
OFixed bug where JBCommander failed to start up due to a "'Invalid procedure call or argument' on startup at line 0" error.
OFixed bug where closing JBCommander from the system tray icon (or shutting down windows while JBCommander was running) didn't preserve the settings of which windows were open and whether the toolbar and player etc were visible.
OFixed issue that resurfaced which caused an error to be displayed when files were removed from a playlist and jukebox, then new tracks re-added.
OFixed issue where transferring files from the MuVo to the PC Music Collection caused the wrong filenames to appear in the Music Collection window if it was open, or not at all if the window was closed.

18th April 2003 - v3.8

It has now been changed to not allow you to click the Lib button when the splash window is being displayed.

11th March 2003 - v3.7.1

25th February 2003 - v3.7
OMajor improvement in speed of opening and closing the Music Collection window for large music collections. It now stores the information in an Access database rather than a text file, which means it loads quicker and uses a lot less memory because it only loads what it has to.
OAdded option to pre-load the summary information shown under the Albums/Artists/Genres list in the Music Collection window.  If you turn this off then the window will load quicker.  It will then only show the summary information after you have actually gone into an album etc.
OAdded options whether to display or hide any of the Albums, Artists, and Genres lists in the Jukebox/Nomad/Muvo and Music Collection windows.  Turning any of these off can save a little time in loading the window.
OAdded options to choose the Filename format used for transferring audio files to the MuVo.
OAdded a Transfer To MuVo option to the right-click menu.  This option will be displayed if the MuVo window is currently open.
OAdded ability to drag and drop files from the MuVo to the PC.

OEnhanced the keeping of transfer statistics so that a separate value is kept for transfers to, and transfers from the PC for each device.  Previously, only a single statistic was kept for each device, but some devices (such as the MuVo) are faster transferring in one direction than the other.
OAdded a grid on the Transfers tab of the Options window to display/reset the statistics for transfers to and from the PC.
OAdded ability to move tracks around in transfer queue using drag and drop.
OAdded option to store the date/time that an audio file is transferred to the nomad against the file's information in the Music Collection.

OFixed the "failure to add track to playlist" error that occurs after deleting tracks from a Playlist and Jukebox, then adding new tracks to the playlist.

13th December 2002 - v3.6
OAdded support for the Nomad Muvo.  This will allow you to see the audio contents of the MuVo in the actual order that they are played by the MuVo; it can allow you to delete files earlier files in the list then add new files, without the new files being played in between the existing files; it can add new files to the MuVo in the correct alphabetic order; it can warn you if you don't have enough memory to transfer all the files queued; and it can allow you to auto-format the MuVo's before transferring all the files.  Plus all of the other features of JBCommander such as changing tags, playing audio files, and estimating the time it will take to transfer all the queued files.
OAdded command line options to load a specified playlist into the play queue (-playlist PlaylistName), to shuffle the play queue (-shuffle), and to start playing the play queue (-play) when JBCommander is started.  You can specify any or all of these parameters, and you can specify the playlist parameter more than once if you want to load several playlists.  This only works for the Jukebox and only if the Jukebox window was left open the last time JBCommander was run, and if JBCommander has been configured to send the command line options to the Jukebox window (Tools -> Options window -> Transfers tab -> To Nomad tab "Command Line To")
OAdded several configuration options to the Action tab and the Transfers -> To Nomad tab on the Options Window, for the MuVo device.
OAdded Open Containing Folder option to the right-click menu for the Music Collection and Explorer windows.  This will open an Windows Explorer window for the folder that contains the selected file.
OAdded Bulk Edit Properties option to the right-click menu.  This allows you to select several files/folders/albums etc and to change particular properties for all the files in one go.
OAdded several "Columns To Show In Groups" options on the Display tab of the Options window.  This allows you to choose which summary fields to show against each Album/Artist/Genre/Playlist/Folder.
OAdded several shortcut keys to control the audio player, and for connecting, syncing, and transferring to your Nomad device.
OAdded small and medium sized player windows to show when you minimize JBCommander, to allow you to control the audio that is currently playing.  Several options are available in the Audio Player tab of the Options window.
OAdded logic to save the current track in the play queue when you close a window, and restore it that position when you open the window again.  It will not save the current play position within the track.
OChanged the Play Queue to show the currently playing track (in Small and Details View only).
OFixed a problem where double-clicking the system tray icon showed the adjacent icon's menu after JBCommander's icon was removed from the system tray.

19th October 2002 - v3.5.2
OAdded Sort Playlists option to the Transfers -> To Nomad tab to the Options window.  This will allow you to either sort the default playlist or all the playlists that files are transferred to after the transfer has completed.

OAdded all the same options to Default tags as for transformation options.
OAdded option in Transfers -> To Nomad to automatically sort the default Playlist after the transfers have been completed.  It will not sort it if you cancel the transfer or an error occurred during transfers.
OSignificantly improved the sorting algorithm used for exporting, adding to lists, copying to the clipboard etc.  It should now run up to 300 times faster in many cases.
OFixed export function so that if a different file type is chosen in the Save dialog box, it will prompt you for the appropriate file format and options.  Previously, if you had the Export format set as HTML and chose .txt files in the save dialog box, it would still save as HTML etc.

24th July 2002 - v3.4.6
OAdded option to Application menu to Backup the contents of the Jukebox.  You can either backup all the music and data, or selectively check/uncheck certain albums/artists/genres etc.  It currently does not backup Playlists - that will be added in a future release.
OChanged logic for re-loading the transfer queue from a previous session.  Files that are to be transferred from the PC will be loaded into the transfer queue as soon as the Jukebox/Nomad II window is opened.  Files that are queued to be transferred from the Jukebox to the PC, will be loaded into the queue once the Jukebox has connected.
OFixed problem in unregistered version where Transfer button stayed pushed-in after the 10th transfer.
OFixed problem where Transfer button stayed pushed-in after user aborted transfer due to insufficient free space on Jukebox.

OFixed copy of Playlist name to clipboard if selecting a Playlist from the tree, and for individual tracks within a Playlist.

24th June 2002 - v3.4
OAdded "Jukebox" option to the Windows' Send To menu.  When you send files (or folders) to this Jukebox option, they will be added to the transfer queue the next time you start up JBCommander and when the jukebox is connected, it will automatically start transferring them. It is better to add folders rather than selected files because windows will not necessarily pass the selected file list to JBCommander in the correct order. Also, currently if you use the Send To option while JBCommander is running, it will have no effect.  I might enhance it later to add them to the open window's transfer queue.
OAdded "Append To" clipboard/file options to the right-click menu.  These are the same as the equivalent "Send To" clipboard/file options except that they don't replace the contents of the clipboard/file but add to the end of the existing text on the clipboard or in the file.
OAdded extra options to configure the background of the tree and list of each window to a specific color instead of having to choose a background image.
OAdded extra options to configure the text color for the tree and list of each window, and for the application and right-click menus.
OAdded "Remember Last Position In Tree" option to the User Interface options.  Turning this on will make JBCommander return to the same position in the tree, the next time you open the same window, rather than defaulting to the top entry in the window.
OAdded export and import buttons to the options window so that you can save and retrieve all your JBCommander configuation settings.  This is very handy if you want to share your settings between your home and work PC, or want to experiment with various settings and want a backup copy for future reference.
OAdded "Playlist" to the list of available values to send to the clipboard.  This will only contain a value if one or more playlists are selected, not individual tracks or albums etc.  This might be enhanced at a later stage.
OChanged tooltips on Transfer Queue to indicate whether the file has been transferred or not.
OAdded "Configure" option in the JBCommander program group to allow you to make configuration changes to JBCommander without having to run it first.
OAdded "Register Now" option in the JBCommander program group to allow you to register your copy of JBCommander without having to run it first.
OThe readme file is now distributed as a HTML document.
OFixed issue where icons were not being displayed on JBCommander menu or right-click menu under WinXP.

9th June 2002 - v3.3
OAdded the ability to drag Playlists from the Music Collection window and drop them into the Jukebox window to transfer the files to the Jukebox and add them to a Playlist of the same name.
OAdded ability to drag a Playlist from the Jukebox and drop it onto the Music Collection window, or onto a specific folder in the PC Explorer Window.  This action will transfer the files in the Playlist from the Jukebox to the PC and create an equivalent Playlist file.  For the Music Collection window, it will use the folder specified in the new "Folder To Store Playlists" option in Transfers -> To PC tab.
OMiscellaneous changes to "Save To External Playlist" so that it saves the Playlist immediately (instead of waiting for Music Collection to be saved or closed), and that if the chosen name is different to the playlist name that it is immediately updated in the tree.
OAdded options to customise the width of the columns displayed in the file list.  By default, they will now automatically resize according to their contents, but you can also either specify a value, or set it to a standard size.
OAdded options to choose a background image for the tree and file lists for each window and the messages window displayed below the file list.
OAdded background image to various windows as well as the Play Queue options and the Transfer Queue options sections.
OAdded extra error trapping around saving the transfer queue, play queue and music collection files.  This is usually caused by badly named files that contain non-ascii characters in them.
OFixed the display after a save to the Music Collection to reflect any change to the filename of an external Playlist due to changing the Playlist name.
OFixed bug where dropping folder in PC Explorer window from its tree to the Play Queue didn't work.
