This remarkable CDW Control Unit converts a Rowe 50 title-strip CD Wallette into a complete coin operated jukebox. Plays MP3 files from a notebook hard drive or Compact Flash memory card.
No moving parts, no worn out lasers, requires no maintenance and will never skip.
The CDW Controller has many programmable features such as coin ratio settings or Free Play, continuous background music or timed autoplay. You can set it retain or erase credits
and/or selected songs at power up. Using a 20GB hard drive, you can have a selection range of 100 CD's with up to 33 tracks on each using the CD quality bitrate of 192 Kbps.
Installation's a snap ! Only four connectors and three screws. Setting up your songs are just as easy. Create a folder for each CD number selection then store MP3 songs into each folder
for the track selections. The first two letters of each song filename are numeric digits that identify the songs selection position. Song selections can be individual tracks, complete
albums or from the popularity list. Autoplay chooses sequential tracks from mixed discs and can be programmed for "all discs" or only disc numbers 50
through 99.
