Where's JukeOla?

Several people have asked if they can download a copy of the JukeOla project. While we have installed JukeOla for a couple of friends, we don't do this anymore. The reason is that the software is heavily customized for our hardware environment. It expects to find our particular network, our particular stereos, and several specialized pieces of equipment.

If you really want to set up somthing similar for yourself, you have several options that are much easier to get and use than JukeOla is. I usually recommend Apple's iTunes these days. It's available for Windows and Mac, and has most of the features of JukeOla. You might also consider WinAmp or SnackAmp or even the latest from the Real Audio people.

One solution that looks interesting is the Myth TV project. This is an open source attempt at a Linux-based media server, which includes a jukebox feature.

One product that provides similar functionality to JukeOla is the MediaMVP from Hauppauge. I have a little bit of experience with this one, and it seems to work well. Similar products include the SoundBridge from RokuLabs.

Another option may be the Sonos product. This is a commercial product line that offers most of the same features found in JukeOla, including a wireless handheld remote.
