Probably the best and most reliable way to
use Steam Jukebox is to copy all the audio and associated files to the
hard disk of your computer.
Disk
Space - A
single CD will require approx. 700MB of disk space. A DVD will need
approx. 4.5GB.
If you have all 3 DVDs and the bonus CD you will need approx. 12.5GB
to accommodate everything.
Instructions
- You need a little knowledge
about Windows and how to create folders and copy files but it's perfectly
simple really!
Firstly, you need to create a suitable folder on your hard disk. I would
suggest that you create one on your C: drive called 'Steam
Jukebox'.
All you need to do then is copy the the album folders (named
cdnn
where
nn
is the album number - e.g. cd12).
These folders contain the mp3 files that you want to play. For each
album there is one other file that you need to copy. This will be named
album cdnn.sdb
where
nn
matches the folder that you have
already copied. This files goes in the folder that you originally created,
not into the folder that you copied from the CD or DVD. A DVD will have
more than one album on it so just repeat the process for each album
that you want on your hard disk.
You may also want to copy the track lists (cdnn track list.txt)
and notes (album cdnn.pdf) to the hard disk too.
If you want to make it easier you can just copy all the contents of
the CD or DVD into the folder that you created. You will get some files
that you don't need but you will be certain to get everything that you
do need!
How to get everything listed
- Having
copied all the files it would be nice to be able to list everything
in Steam Jukebox.
If you have all the DVDs you will find that you have a file called all
albums.sdb. This is a full list
of all recordings available. Just load that into the programme and away
you go!
If you don't have all the DVDs you can still create a merged file for
the albums that you have. See this page for details.
