Version 3.0 Beta 1 has been released!

It seems as if there’s always “one more thing” to do and one more week to wait, so I’ve opted to release what I have now rather than wait for everything to be completely done. The victim in this release are CD-based skins; they are not quite ready for prime time, as cover art isn’t available yet and CD numbering isn’t working properly.

This version does contain four usable skins: the default skin, which has on-screen buttons suitable for a touchscreen; a “classic” skin which looks like the 2.41 version; an Arcade Jukebox 8 clone which will work with any Arcade Jukebox 6 background; and an experimental “high-density” skin with no background at all yet that supports 15 labels (30 songs) on the screen at once.

The other big loser in this version is documentation; I haven’t written any yet. Most of what you need to know is in the comments in jukebox.ini. There is no configuration GUI, so all configuration changes are made by editing jukebox.ini.
