Using etouch questions please

[mikehende]

Wow, this looks like exactly what I need, see main reason why I am looking into a system like this is, every weekend when we hang out, it is always up to me to play music and I am tired of taking requests and having to change playlists, even though I tell the guys to play whatever they want to hear they don't, main reason being they think my music software is intimidating or too much trouble to find and select tunes but I realize whenever we visit a bar they will line up to play the jukebox. This system should work nicely for me as it would solve 2 purposes, I can have the main functionalities as my current software and it will involve less work and headache for me to entertain.

Since the music side of things is taken care of, what is of key importance now will be the screen I should choose. Do you guys have a recommend screen size or type? A local guy has a 17 touchscreen already setup with etouch, it's an older screen which is square shaped, I am thinking it's a little too small but I am wondering if the square shaped screen might be more user friendly than today's widescreen? Any thoughts on these 2 issues please?

There are more skins for the none widscreen formats, you can get a 19" in the older non widescreen aspect ratio if you can find them which should be big enough. I have used 15" and those have been fine.

Thanks for the info, that will help me decide, one issue I hadn't though of is wall mounting, I guess it will not work to put a screen flat on the wall so I am guessing I will need some sort of tilt bracket facing upwards?

I have a wall mounted sound leisure cab.

Can I impose on you to ask for a pic of it please?

[Barcrest]

Not mine but this is the same one.

Thanks! I am not understanding why there are 2 parts to the setup, are those 2 separate screens?

Bottom screen is the touchscreen top screen shows the videos, it also outputs to other screens.
