Installation and how to add music files:

To install the mod drag the contents of "Drag all contents to .minecraft folder and overwrite" to the .minecraft folder and overwrite . The default block IDs are 230 and 231 but can be changed in the props file. EQ animations can also be disabled in the props file (for people who use MCPatcher for HD texture packs - read the FAQ for more info).

One song (Test Track) Which was made by me (MindKrafter) is included with the mod and will be automatically placed in the  minecraft\resources\mod\boombox folder so that you can make sure the mod is installed correctly.
I give permission to use the song "Test Track" however you see fit.

4.Convert your music files to .ogg or wav, and then add them into "boombox" folder.
(\.minecraft\resources\mod\boombox)
Whatever is in that folder will be loaded automatically and the boombox can play them.

*NEW* shuffle button: currently picks a random song from your playlist when pressed. (returns to regular play after 1 song) Hopefully in the near future Ican get the shuffle function to continue until deselected. (turns red on hover, until fully implemented)

For audio conversion I use and recommend

Audacity
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/


How to use:


PK_Boombox_1.2.5_v1.3(PiKPodPhoneEdition+SemiFunctionalShuffle)

The boombox placed by itself plays music locally, up to 65 blocks away.

To double the music volume and make it so the music will play worldwide, add a speaker to each side of a boombox.

Music tracks can be turned on/off or changed from anywhere in your world with the remote control.

Click the shuffle button to select a random song from your playlist.

Redstone can be used to toggle (i.e. like a button) music on or off.

Buttons can be used to turn the boombox on/off

Note: If you experience songs skipping or making a ticking noise, make sure there are no strange characters or out of place numbers.

Examples of song title formats that work. (Numbers used as a preface are fine)

A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran

Love Action (I Believe In Love)

don_mclean-american_pie

01 Stairway to Heaven

Nena - 99 Luftballoons


Things that will cause a track not to play.

Characters like the these examples.
\ / : ? " < > |

Numbers at the end of titles, as below

song 9
track 01


NB: The sound engine Minecraft uses can supposedly stream ogg, wav, mus, xm, s3m and mod files (half of which I've never heard of). In my experience .ogg and wav work best(I recommend .ogg as it has good quality and much smaller file size).




Enjoy!
