JukeBox Mode

Enable JukeBox. GameEx now features a fully functional Jukebox. It uses Windows Media Player and you will need version 9 or above. Go to http://download.microsoft.com to get a copy free. You must also add all your audio files to the Windows Media Player Library for the Jukebox to have any music listed. If this is enabled your normal playlist in the MusicPlaylist setting is ignored and on startup GameEx will scan the Windows Media Player Library. If this is set to Audio Tags GameEx will not use Windows Media Player and will scan the files in the playlist directory below for tags. The first time and if you add or delete files from the directory this can make the Jukebox slow to start up. You can also use iTunes if it is installed and used on the computer.
