registered users.

Can I
install Virtual Music Jukebox on another computer?
The current EULA (End User's License Agreement)
permits installation of VMJ on ONLY 1 computer. You MUST
purchase additional copies if you wish to install on
additional computers.
Back to top.
What
are Virtual Music Jukebox's minimum system requirements?
Because
Virtual Music Jukebox is an MP3 player which decodes the
music as it is playing, you will want to run it on as
fast of a system as possible, especially if you have the
ID3 tag feature enabled. You may also notice a "stutter"
in albums sliding on a slower machine. A Pentium
equivalent processor of 400mhz or higher and a graphics
card that supports 600x800 to 1024x768 resolutions will
be sufficient. Virtual Music Jukebox has been tested on
machines as slow as a Pentium MMX 200mhz with 64 megs of
RAM and worked with little graphics "stutter" whereas
running on a Celeron 400mhz with 256 megs of RAM there
was quite a bit of graphics "stutter" during album
sliding. Most up to date computers will have no problems
at all.

Does
Virtual Music Jukebox work with Windows 98SE?
Virtual Music
Jukebox does not support Windows 98 at this time! We
suggest upgrading to a more recent Operating System. If
you still wish to use Virtual Music Jukebox with Windows
98, do so at your OWN RISK! There are many threads in
the message boards from users who have updated certain
settings, jet drivers, etc and have gotten our software
to work. But, until further notice, WE DO NOT SUPPORT
WINDOWS 98!

What
file types are supported?
Virtual
Music Jukebox will play MP3, WMA and WMV audio and video
files. Virtual Music Jukebox also supports JPG and GIF
for album covers and TXT for text based lyrics files.
Back to top.
What is
the best CD Ripping software to use?
There are
many shareware and freeware CD rippers and tag editors
available on the internet. Which to use would depend on
personal preference. VMJ does not currently support any
particular software for this use, so you may want to
view the Support Board and read what other users like
and suggest.
Back to top.
Does
Virtual Music Jukebox rely on ID3 tags?
Virtual
Music Jukebox uses the ID3 tags to display the song
titles in interactive mode the the function is set to
scan ID tags. The file name must currently be named as
the song title with an MP3 extension. Future versions
will also use the ID3 tags to show the currently played
song information when this feature is set to enabled in
the Properties menu.
Back to top.
Will
the music that downloaded and/or purchased from the
internet work with Virtual Music Jukebox?
Yes! As long as
the songs are MP3 or WMA files and not protected with
Microsoft's DRM, they will work fine.
Back to top.
Will
Virtual Music Jukebox play video files?
Yes! As long as
it is a WMV file.
Back to top.
Does
Virtual Music Jukebox need any special CODECs?
No,
Virtual Music Jukebox uses Windows Media Player (WMP)
which installs the CODECs needed to view and listen to
the supported media files. Keeping WMP updated will
ensure Virtual Music Jukebox will have no problems
playing the standard supported formats of media files.
