Jukebox Test

Hello List:

While working with players and online files, I recently ran into some issues
involved with the latest version of QuickTime (7) that I've been trying to
figure out/work around.  Apparently QT caches all its downloads, even when
called from Revolution.  During my testing, I wound up updating an online
jukebox music player of mine that several of you are already familiar with
(holiday jukebox).  If any of you has a free moment, perhaps you can try out
the jukebox on your end and see if the downloading works properly.

The jukebox requires Rev 2.7 or later, QuickTime, and Trevor DeVore's
EnhancedQT external, which is available here:

ip
The external simply needs to be placed in the Externals folder in your
Revolution application folder (or the Externals folder of the My Revolution
Enterprise folder of enterprise users) and then restart Rev, of course.

The music accessed by the jukebox is the same, and the stack design has not
changed (aside from a deep mask, which is much nicer than when the jukebox
was first built), but I've had to update the routines for managing tracks.
To run the stack (did you remember Trevor's external?), execute the
following in your Revolution message box:

go url "http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/jukebox.rev"

If you run into any problems, please let me know offlist.

Thanks for your time.
