Hi everyone,

Easy peasy lemon squeezy, simply go into your etouch directory and either rename or delete songfacts.dat from the directory and then no information available to show.

Yep thanks mark that did the trick, I was getting slightly miffed of that the song facts were freezing up on the wrong artist, chances are updating to the latest release mite have dealt with it, I'm using a very early V9 release and I understand we're on V9.21 now, I haven't been around for a while

I don't know part time admin and part time moderators lol

Yep gone to 9.21 now and a lot of bug fixes have been made from when I first joined I think that was about 9.4. The song facts is still not perfect they are not positioned properly and a lot cuts off at the end. I personally do not like the song facts as it adds a lot more work to the jukebox, it is a feature that for me can be scrapped unless there was a massive database that you could download but as new songs get added into the music World, to keep up with this would be horrendous.

I just typed into google and found this http://www.songfacts.com/ and it does have an api so that might be a future upgrade for Barry to do, if I don't sack him first ;)

Regards

Its been well over a year since my juke was updated I mite be using a V8 release, my man room has had a serious overhaul and took from Halloween 2014 till now to have it back up and runnin as an American diner theme/dart room, even my database is  well out date, I think ur rite as far as the facts go, I don't use them so I don't need them, I don't have my juke connected the the net so wont even be able to update the song facts,
