Flash@TMB Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 The jukebox upgrade will likely occur next week. All the components for the new machine have arrived. The new jukebox will hold a whopping 1440 CDs thanks to two of these suckers:http://www.kintronics.com/drm5004x.html#DRM-5004XEach is kitted out with 2 head units which will make changes instantaneous as it will have the next CD loaded up and ready to go in advance. The intial load time is <4 secs! These connect into our mixing desk on a 96KHz digital input, so the sound quality should be fantastic. Having 2 units and 4 heads also gives us some resiliance should anything go tits up...Selection is via a 19" touchscreen which will be located midway down the bar, where the DJs stand.The day of the hand written inlay card is over So the regulars can breathe a sigh of relief , instead we have to upload inlay cards and track listings for each album. This is time consuming, so please do not expect all 1440 albums to be available on the first day. In fact the selection may be a little flakey to start with as there are still 100 CDs in the existing jukebox that will need swapped over.We can include customers CDs, but these must be the original media, in the original packaging.The installation is planned for Tuesday.

KarmaTsunami Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 you had deftones in your old jukebox, and you should have some in this one. and lets not forget the man in black.although i was a bit drunk the last time i was in, so maybe you have these already and i'm just blowing out my arse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metarie Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 there is some Johnny Cash I'm sure, not sure which album though.Ooo, more stuff by The Donnas! 'Get Skintight' or 'Stay the Night', Gold Medal is rubbish.More local stuff would be good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash@TMB Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 We have a whole dose of stuff still to go on. Reckon another 200-300 CDs or so. Perhaps more. Pete is spending 3 days a week typing inlays.We can only put local stuff on if local bands give us their CDs.There is another Donnas album to go on.

KarmaTsunami Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Ace! I love this jukebox. I think I'm coming in tonight so doubtless be spending some money on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I was talking to Captain Tom last night and the question "Would Elvis be happy with the Moorings Jukebox?" came up. I would say yes, as there seems to be something for everyone on it. Does anyone disagree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MDP Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 how many cd's still left to go flash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash@TMB Posted June 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 We've loaded about 300. Probably at least another 300 downstairs, plus some more at home. With the 2 existing changers we can hold 1440 CDs, but I can add more changers if required with a capacity of another 720 CDs each. Not sure what the limit is, probably 15 LMAO! But they are REALLY FUCKIN EXPENSIVE (even secondhand) so this two better last a long long time. Reckon it will take the best part of a year to fill a changer at the present rate. The time consuming part is typing in all the track listings. The biro and paper really was superior to the new technology in that respect...

Flash@TMB Posted June 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 2 heads are better then one But if you help then it means I'd be paying you instead of Pete and that would upset him. He needs this overtime to drink and party 7 nights a week. And everytime he types out a hundred inlays we let him add a Manowar CD into the 'Gay Metal' section.

The Kernel Loaf Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 What is the policy on adding new CD's to the jukebox? Does it go through a Flash-related trial then a pint of skull splitter to be deemed worthy?Additionally, I guess you need to have a legitimate CD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash@TMB Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 You need a legitimate CD. Any non-manufactured music is generally permitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash@TMB Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Do you need to keep the CD though?Yes it has to go into the CD loader, in order for the jukebox to play it. We're not allowed to put burnt discs into the loaders, must be the original.If you just tell me the CD I can go and buy it, it's no big deal!

Teabags Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Witchcraft - Witchcraft would be an awesome addition. I looked for it one-up but they only had the new album, which isn't as good.Alternatively, Witchcaft - Live At Roadburn would be even better, but I don't know if this was an official release.

I notice an extreme lack of any jazz, hip hop, electronica and hybrids of the three. I'd recommend the following:The Smiths - Hatful of HollowHeiroglyphics - Third Eye VisionAim - Cold Water Music (Although Flight 602 would be easier to obtain)The Sabres of Paradise - Haunted DancehallHerbie Hancock - Headhunters (Although the song lengths may piss off others)Yuzo Koshiro - Streets of Rage soundtrack Any Funkadelic/Parliament 'best of'Stanley Clarke - School DaysPendulum - Hold Your Colour Mew - anyThe Cure - Mixed UpSly & The Family Stone - Best ofAcoustic Ladyland - Last Chance DiscoNuyorican SoulThe Jam - Sound AffectsAny generic latin jazz/bossa compilationSorry, that list might be a bit too big. 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are Smiths and Cure in there also. We don't have a complete updated list; the ones on here are 18 months out of date. There are currently over 400 hundred albums in there at present... but the loaders can hold a maximum of (if memory serves me correctly) 1440! If you add all the previous listings together you get something approaching it's current selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kernel Loaf Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 We'd need to tread carefully with o hip hop, but the rest is fine.Yeah no worries, although Heiroglyphics/Aim are actual good hip hop with little to no expletives whatsoever (if that is what the concern is about).There are Smiths and Cure in there also.Yeah, I knew this already. It was more of a personal choice because I think Hatful of Hollow (being a compilation of BBC sessions etc.) is a much better range of songs than any other Smiths album, and Mixed Up is by far the best thing The Cure ever did.Ideally, it would be great if you restricted 'Du Hast', 'Orion' and 'More than a Feeling' so that folk don't put them on every two hours.

Cue red faces and two quickly emptied half pint glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
