Follow these steps to install JukeBox Version 2. 

Do not un-install JukeBox version 1.

You will need the Microsoft Windows Installer version 1.1 or greater. If you have Windows 2000 or XP you already have the required file. If you have Windows 95, 98 or ME try the installation, if you get an error indicating that you need a new version of Windows Installer, install Windows Installer 2.0 for Windows 98, ME now .

Crescendo installation.

You must have Windows ME or later (including Windows 2000 and XP) to use the Crescendo infrared controller. Simply plug the included  USB cable into your computer and the Crescendo. You will see that a new device has been found.

 The Crescendo front panel is a red IR panel. The IR transmitting LED is located behind this panel (to the left of the emitter jack) as is the IR detector (to the right of the emitter jack, for learning new codes). Position the Crescendo such that the infrared light can reach the CD player(s) and receiver. The front zone is zone 0.

If you purchased emitters, plug the emitter(s) for zone 0 into the jack on the front panel. This will disable the internal IR LED. Plug the zone 1 emitter(s) into the jack on the rear panel (next to the USB jack). If you use zone 1 you will need to set the zone for the appropriate CD players with the JukeBox EDIT-CD LOCATIONS dialog. Set the receiver zone with the EDIT-OPTIONS dialog.

The rear panel of the Crescendo has the USB jack, the zone 1 emitter jack and the green power on  LED

Upgrade Installation

If you are upgrading from JukeBox version 1,  please read these instructions.

JukeBox Version 2 Installation Instructions

1. If you control a receiver or if you have a CD player other than a Sony, Pioneer, JVC 222 or 334, or Kenwood you will need to contact GrayWolf software for help with learning new infrared codes and device setup. 
2. Run the installation by double clicking on the file JukeInstall.msi (or click the hyperlink and choose to "Open this file from the current location"). If Windows Installer does not begin, you will need to get it from Microsoft as described earlier.
3. Follow the prompts. I recommend choosing a typical install but your can choose a custom install if you want to choose a different install folder. The normal install folder is called GrayWolf 2 and is in the Program Files folder.
4. Run CD JukeBox 2 from the start menu, GrayWolf folder.  
5. Choose JukeBox - Edit - Options to run the Options dialog. The Crescendo USB controller will be identified if present - you need not choose a COM port. If you control your receiver with JukeBox, choose its type and zone. You can probably choose the Generic receiver type If you have need a new type definition, you can use DeviceWiz to do this if you have the infrared codeset required (we will help). You can do this later. Read about type definitions here.
6. Choose JukeBox - Edit - CD Locations to run the CD Locations dialog.
   • Choose the type of each CD player. Read about type definitions here.
   • Choose or confirm the codeset (name of infrared commands).
     • For Pioneer CD Players, choose Pioneer CD.
     • For Kenwood CD Players, choose Kenwood CD.
     • For JVC CD Players, choose the appropriate type.
     • For Sony CD Players, choose Sony CD Player(sw x) where x corresponds to the switch position on the back of your player.
   • Set the zone as required - zero for front panel blaster or emitter, and 1 for the rear emitter.
   • If this player is a slave, choose the name of the master CD player from the list. If this player operates by itself or you do not understand master-slave leave this set to "none".
7. You can use the Edit - Set Title Fonts option to set your list fonts.
8. You should now be ready to register your CDs as described later.

CD Registration.

Connect to the Internet as you normally do.
Repeat the following for each CD you wish to register. You may wish to register just a few CDs at a time and backup your data after each session (use the File-Backup option.).

1. Insert the CD into your primary CDROM drive.
2. Wait a few moments for your computer to read the CD table of contents.
3. Use the JukeBox- Search Internet for Titles option to search for the CD and track titles of this CD. This option will only be available if Windows has determined than an audio CD is in the primary drive. If the CD is already registered, that CD will be selected.
4. If the titles are found you will be asked to choose from a list of available players and slots. Do this then click OK.
5. Important - be sure to put the CD into that same player and slot. If you forget where a CD is to be placed, click on the CD title then look to the bottom left of the JukeBox screen.
6. Most often the titles will be found but if they are not you can use the Audio CD - Add New option to add a new CD to the database. A new CD will be added with titles unknown and you will see a dialog where you can enter the correct titles.

 If you have Windows Media Player (WMP) version 6.4 or later (and you do if you have XP) you can register CDs through it. Allow WMP to find your titles then switch to JukeBox and press F2 or use the Audio CD - Import Titles from WMP.

After you register a few CDs we suggest that you pause and play some music. You can register more CDs later.

Remember to close the player door and set the player mode to continue (or similar). Do not set the player to random or shuffle.

JukeBox Version 2 Server setup.
You need not do this unless you want to run JukeBox on several machines at one time with only one machine having an infrared controller.

1. You must have the Microsoft network installed and you must install Microsoft printer and file sharing (so you can share the database). Network setup and configuration can be difficult. You must be able to share drives and map network drives. If you cannot do this, do not attempt to run JukeBox in a client server configuration. We cannot help you configure your network.
2. Install JukeBox 2 on each machine as described above. However you need not restore the data on any machine except the one machine where you want the database to reside.
3. Run JukeBox at least once on the JukeBox server machine (the one with the infrared controller. This completes the installation.
4. Decide where you want to locate your one copy of the database. It can be on any machine but that location must be accessable from all other machines including the server. Typically you will map the drive containing your database to a local drive letter. For example, suppose the server machine is named mach1 and you have a client named mach2. We share drive C: on mach1 as C. The database will be on mach1 in the installed location
   \\mach1\C\Program Files\GrayWolf2\TrackTitle.mdb
   You can access the database as shown above or you can map a drive on other machines. Suppose we map \\mach1\C to drive E: on mach2.
5. Run JukeBox on each client machine
   • Use the Edit - Set Server Machine option to set the server machine. In the example it would be mach1. See the notes about Windows 98 servers.
   • Use the Edit - Set Database Path option to set the database location. In the example it would be
     \\mach1\C\Program Files\GrayWolf2\TrackTitle.mdb
   • Exit JukeBox then run it again so that the changes can take place.
6. Windows 98 notes
   • Windows 98 works just fine as a server but there are some issues.
   • The JukeBox server cannot be started remotely. This means that you must run JukeBox 2 on the server machine before you run JukeBox on any client machine. if you forget you will see an error with a reminder. You can put a link to JukeBox in the startup folder of the server machine if you wish.
   • You need to change one or 2 settings in your registry to use Windows 98 as a server. The file Win98Ole.reg is included to help you. To view it, right click on it then choose edit. To install it double click it or click this and choose to "Open this file from its current location".
   • Windows 98 clients do not work well if the server is an NT machine and there is a mapped drive.
   • Windows 95 has not been tested and is not recommended.
7. Windows 2000 and XP configuration

   The product is setup to run on the server as the current interactive use. Therefore someone must be logged into the server machine. You can change this by running the Windows Utility DCOMCNFG. Find the application "GrayWolf Software remote servers" and choose properties.

    

CD Reports

Unzip the contents of Crystal.zip (found on your CD or here) into your GrayWolf 2 folder for report capability. You can access reports from the File - Report option.

Master Slave setup

Some CD players allow a single player (the master) to "control" a second (the slave). This offers two advantages. It requires only one input on the receiver/amp and it requires only one IR zone. If these are not issues you will find independent operation preferrable because JukeBox will queue ahead on alternating players to provide instant play of the next selection. The master player must provide operation as though the two players represent one larger player. This is common but some players require you to press a separate selection button to indicate with player to use. JukeBox cannot control this kind of master-slave configuration.

With version 2 you represent both the master and the slave as JukeBox CD Locations. Each will have it's true capacity. For example, if you have 2 Sony 300 CD players (each with capacity of 300). Lets say that the master player is named CD Player and the second is named player 2. You will leave the master player setting for CD player as none. Then select player 2 .You will select the name of the master player (CD Player) in the CD Locations dialog Master CD Player drop down list .

JukeBox version 2 type definitions

The type definition contains the rules for device control. For a CD Player, the type definition defines the rules of how to play a CD. In JukeBox 2 the infrared commands are held separately in files that we call IRData files. The group of commands within an IRData file for one device is called a codeset (set of infrared codes). There is one IRData file for each kind of infrared controller. You must get the codeset for your device(s) from GrayWolf software. If you use a standard device like a Sony CD player you will use a supplied codeset. If you cannot use a standard codeset you will have to contact GrayWolf for a new IRData file.

One side effect of this is that Sony CD players have 3 codesets, one for each possible switch position but there is only one type definiton for a Sony CD player of a given capacity. For example, there is one Sony 300 CD Player type definition. You can tell JukeBox that a particular Sony CD players uses any one of the 3 codesets Sony CD(sw 1), Sony CD(sw 1), orSony CD(sw 1).
