MyiHome and jukeboxes questions

[nalooti]

Hi,

sorry, some newbie questions regarding jukeboxes:

1/ Is MyiHome a kind of Jukeboxe that should only be installed on the PC or it must also be installed on A-110 to work (which means installing a HDD on A-110 which I don't want to do) ?

2/ What is the best jukebox working for music(mp3 and others) as well as for videos and photos? (PC installation only please)

3/ My main concern about jukeboxes is that if they are like iPod I don't like because i can't find my musics easily (my mp3 file names are not all in the same format artist/album/titles.mp3, so I understand that the system can't correctly catalog them; and I'm too lazy to rename all my mp3 files!).

The system should give me the ability to browse my directories in the first place then can propose me various classifications by title/album/genre/etc.

Do those jukeboxes let me still see my shared directory structures?

thanks

Myihome is not a jukebox, it is a http server.

It does, however, have a video jukebox plugin, which makes it possible to use YAMJ (Yet Another Movie Jukebox) with it.

You do not need an internal hard disk in your A-110 to be able to use Myihome (with or without the YAMJ plugin).

No I didn't. I'm just waiting someone to suggest me a good Jukebox/html server.

All I want is that it can before everything let me browse my folders and files as if on a windows explorer.
After that, I will judge them on their extra features like content catalog, streaming, browsing, repeating, speedy/easy finding the right title, varius playing options, etc.

Are these supported on MusicJukebox7 ?
Is my main concern (finding original folder structures) usually supported on all jukeboxes/UPnP servers?

thanks

Please just tell me what you see and how do you browse your content on MyiHome.

Can you find the directory structures as when you browse a media source on your PopcornHour shared by SMB? or all you have is a choice between title/album/artist/genre/... ?
