Blue Labelle JukeBoX uses drag'n drop between applications. You can select files from the Windows explorer and drop them in the JukeBoX view or the miniview slider (used to change position within a file). It also permits to use the Windows Find tool for example : you can thus add the result of a research.

Make your selection, click on the selection and keep the button pressed. Move your mouse to position it over the JukeBoX View. Stop pressing the button so that files should be added. Only files recognized by Blue Labelle JukeBoX will be added. If it is one or several folders, they will be automatically scanned, and files supported will be added.

It is likely that the list of the JukeBoX is not visible during this process. In this case, position your selection on the Windows taskbar, on the Blue Labelle JukeBoX icon. Wait for a few seconds so that Blue Labelle JukeBoX window should appear. And drop files on the JukeBoX list.

JBX files are associated automatically to Blue Labelle JukeBoX. If you double-clic on a JBX file, Blue Labelle JukeBoX will be executed, the JukeBoX will be opened and will be launched automatically.

You can place a JukeBoX or a shortcut to a JukeBoX in the Startup folder of Windows. The JukeBoX will be launched at Windows Start up and it will start playing automatically...

ATTENTION: this category is for experienced users since it makes call to system files of MS Windows 95. If your don't have advanced knowledge of this environment, don't try the manipulations explained below.

Media Control Interfacing (MCI) allows a standardized playing of multimedia files. The Windows Media Player functions thanks to this library. A MCI driver is a file allowing the playing of one or several multimedia files. WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI files (located in the Windows folder) are used by MCI.

1. SYSTEM.INI
MCI drivers are declared in the [MCI] section of SYSTEM.INI

[mci]
cdaudio=mcicda.drv
sequencer=mciseq.drv
waveaudio=mciwave.drv 9
avivideo=mciavi.drv
videodisc=mcipionr.drv
vcr=mcivisca.drv
dmusic=etekmod.drv
MPEGVideo=mciqtz.drv
Animation1=mciaap.drv

Thus, the MCI driver mciseq.drv will be recognized under the name of " sequencer ". It allows to play MIDI files. The MCI driver mciqtz.drv will be recognized under the name of " MPEGVideo ", it is the pilot of Microsoft ActiveMovie, it permits the reading of a large number of files: AVI, MOV, MPG, MP2, MP3 (ActiveMovie v2 only), MID, WAV, etc...

2. WIN.INI
File types associated to these MCI drivers are declared in the [mci extensions]section of WIN.INI

[mci extensions]
mid=Sequencer
rmi=Sequencer
wav=waveaudio
mod=dmusic
avi=MPEGVideo
mov=MPEGVideo
mpg=MPEGVideo
mpeg=MPEGVideo
au=MPEGVideo
snd=MPEGVideo
aif=MPEGVideo
kar=Sequencer
cda=cdaudio
mp3=MPEGVideo
fli=Animation1
flc=Animation1

That means that the * .mid files will be read thanks to " sequencer " driver (therefore mciseq.drv), or that CDaudio tracks (* .cda) will be read thanks to " cdaudio ", therefore mcicda.drv.

Several MCI drivers can be able to read a file type. A driver can be better optimized than another or can allow more functionalities. For example, a wavefile can be read thanks to "waveaudio" or thanks to "MPEGVideo". Concerning ActiveMovie (MPEGVideo), it adds playing speed variation (slow, accelerated, etc...) but informations returned by the pilot MCI are less complete

You can use the MCI Wizard to assign a driver to a file type. Nevertheless you won't be able to add a new type of file. According to MCI drivers installed on your system, you can configure the playing of your multimedia files. The driver affected to a filetype must exist effectively. Don't add MOD=dmusic believing that these files will be read: when a pilot is installed on your system, it appears in the [MCI] section of your SYSTEM.INI
