Some entries only list the title, some split via a '/' and other use a '-' If JukeBox can't correctly parse it, mail me the text in the title and artist slots and I'll see if I can hack whatever they used to split it into the next version. Note that the author does not maintain CDDB, and has no control over the entries themselves. Once you click on the text fields, the only way to return to keyboard control is to click inside the main view. May have problems with discs containing both audio and data Shuffle does not quite work right. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LICENSING JukeBox is freeware now!
