Just what does the download button do? :-\
Copies the song to the e-touch download folder. You can then copy these tracks to a cd or an mp3 player.

How can you do this? do you hook the mp3 then push the download buton?
You need to copy the song to a cd or use the software provided with the mp3 player to transfer...it doesn't just happen via e-touch...e-touch download folder collects the tracks that you select to copy to cd...

Select the track as would normally and then click the download track button on the play options screen. If you look in your E-Touch Download folder you will see the file.
Hmm, interesting. Would this work:
1. Install an external USB port on the cab
2. Setup e-touch so the directory where it saves the "downloaded" mp3s to is, say, the E:\ drive
3. Connect an ipod in file transfer mode to the external USB port (thereby becoming the E:\ drive)
4. Click download on each song you would like to transfer to the ipod.
This would solve I problem I have about how to incorporate ipod connectivity to my juke and e-touch
I think that this would be a great feature! Download the song to a specific folder, connect mp3 player then transfer to the mp3 player without exiting E-Touch. Is this feasable to do?

Just create a bat file that moves the contents of the download folder to another drive say E:\ then run the bat file from the RUN feature in the options.
So, could you add a custom button to the main screen to run the batch file?
Like you click "download" on all the songs u want, then click a button, "send to ipod" to run the batch file?
The run button is in the options section point that to the bat file.
Hmm I am gonna have to try this new form of black magic once I sober up...
I'm sorry if I'm being stupid, but I have the run button in the options, but cant figure out how to have the run button on the jukebox screen?
You can't have the run button on the main screen however you have just given me a genius idea....
How about this?
When you click download it copies the track to the download folder as it does now however if there is a download.bat it will run that as well afterwards. That way you could make the download button copy the tracks straight to a stick or mp3 player with just the one click of the button?
That is a genius idea mate - sounds pretty simple to do aswell!
This newfangled MP3 player connectivity would get you some more users i reckon? You could use it to easily backup the music aswell
I think i need to add a download album button too at some point.
I see you have added the download.bat functionality - good move. I will download the latest version later and give it a whirl. I don't have an ipod myself - the missus does. Do all ipods have the same file paths?
Wouldnt be simplier to have freebox look for any external devices and copy the songs directly, instead of using a bat file or copy to the download folder? When i was looking for a juke software for my touchscreen i found one that does that, once you select the download button it pops a screen where it gives you an option to copy to d: o e: if thats the lleter of the mp3 or memory stick....
I think the solution i have offered gives more flexibility
Maybe store the location of the USB stick in Freebox and when you click download it just stores to the configured location in the app. If the location changes make the problem of the operator if anything.
Keep it simple

Dude it now runs the download.bat if it exists in the download folder so that can be set to copy to the stick.
With batch file functionality you can basically do with it whatever you like. Seems a smart move
I haven't yet tried it, but can you only download 1 song at a time? May be a bit of a ball ache?
I do no see any problem here, I wonder why seem like it is too complicated.
Basically you have your selection in the E-touch "download" folder, then go and a simple
copy and paste will do the expected ending result. Ipod or any devices change the drive letter
depending on individual setups. From my point of view E-Touch is working fine.
I do no know what other software do, but jukeboxwise, this point is unnecessary. I think Barry should focus his great efforts in other issues. My opinion.
I am inclined to agree with hitbig and to be honest I feel aside from offering a download album button there is very little else to do here. With the bat file it is even possible to send files via bluetooth or FTP them somewhere it just requires a littlb BAT file knowledge.
I noticed that when downloading KARAOKE the .CDG part is not in the download folder, only the mp3 part????
Checked this on single track "download"
I was unable to check in "download album" due to I'm using DEMO 5.0.28 and this
function doesn't work at all.
