Chad,

I like that Seeburg (?) "Stereo 300" jukebox in one of the pics of your TV collection. Haven't seen one like it since I was a teenage kid some 35 years ago. A pizza place in the next town east of where I grew up had Seeburgs, AMIs, etc. (they wore out quickly, as they got quite a bit of use; seems I saw a new one in the place every six months or so).

BTW, I'm trying to transfer all my CDs into my computer (which is hooked up to my stereo) to get the same effect as those old jukeboxes, but using 21st century technology. Man, what a job, as I have about 50+ CDs now and am a subscriber to BMG Music Service in Indianapolis, so I get a new one or two every couple months. I try to transfer one or two every couple days; at that rate it will take several months to transfer them all, but it will be worth it when I'm done. The CD player in my stereo has random-access track selection, via a keypad on the remote control, but only takes up to 3 CDs at a time. Having all (or at least most) of my discs in the computer will allow me to call up any track I want just by highlighting the title in the playlist (MusicMatch Jukebox player) and double-clicking it.

Speaking of jukeboxes, I've heard of the new CD jukes but have yet to actually see one in a public establishment. Are these very popular yet?
