It's not much different than the sound leisure skin I released. It does have a slightly better search and it supports the decades as well.

your sl skin is by albums and not singles
is it possible to convert it to single selection with a better search and now playing veiw[large cover]with a novelty coin credits say 20 plays pr credit
i cant afford the full comercial etouch and wouldnt have a need for it
maybe if you could do a home use credits it would be a nice piggy bank for alot
of home juke users
just a thought

There would be nothing to stop a home user using it for commercial gain so I won't be doing that. Any of the album based skins can be set up for singles. You just need 1 mp3 per folder with a cover image for it and set the option to go straight to play options for albums with a single track. I did that with the sound leisure skin with the original sound leisure videos and video covers and you couldn't tell it apart from the original.

Yes, all you need is one track per folder and an image for it. The option is in the options section to set it to jump striaght to play options for a single track. I have that turned on all the time as i do have some mixes that are one track and some single videos. No point showing the track listing screen if there is only one track.

ok ive got a bunch of single tracks with art in the tags but there not in a
single folder does that mean i would have to manualy put each track in a
folder
i could be there for a long time dude

Yes it does, it's the only way i'm afraid but i think you can get tag & rename to do it for you or something like media monkey.

[jukejohn]

cant see anything in tag rename that does it
will have a look around

I think it's under the rename files from tag section.

[jukejohn]

yes i can rename files from tag section and it then takes them out
of the album order i also rename album title to the track title for
complete album removal
its still leaves me with the mamouth task of putting each track in
its own folder
need some sort of folder creator

Tag & Rename can do this I am sure it can. I don't have it installed here but I am sure there is an option to do it under the file rename part of it.

well i looked about until late in the night i couldnt find any tag software
to help me and as for t&r i have looked into everything and couldnt find
any options for this
i have tried my singles on a couple of other juke software and the collection
is loaded up as single with art showing ok is this because etouch
doesnt show embedded  art tags
there must be away around this

This is because of how i build the album list. I do it by the directory structure rather than by the album tags. I do read the album tag for the info but assume all files in that sub folder are that album.
