| 2 | 2 | ||
| 3 | 3 | Cactus Jukebox is an audio player and music organizing tool. It searches given folders for music files and shows them in a database. The main focus is on usability and speed. Cactus Jukebox still runs smoothly with 15GB of music files on an old computer like a P3 @ 500MHz. There's no reason to take a dual core machine just to listen to your music. Another nice feature: You can also syncronize your music collection with a mobile player device(USB). | |

| 28 | 28 | Cactus Jukebox uses MPlayer as playback engine. So take care mplayer is installed on your system before running Cactus Jukebox. Old libfmod is still supported but not recommended. | |

| 46 | 46 | GTK1.x binaries can still be build from source but there are no more packages yet. All current distributions dropped GTK1.x support. If you still need a GTK1.x version please contact me. If there is enough demand I will create official GTK1.x packages again... | |
| 47 | 47 | ||
| 48 | 48 | QT4 interface is nearly ready for release... No big showstoppers, just some minor graphic bugs to fix. You may try it out by building from source code. | |

| 50 | 50 | ## Development | |
| 51 | 51 | ||
| 52 | 52 | The original developer of the Cactus Jukebox was Sebastian Kraft (sebastian_kraft@gmx.de) but he is no longer developing the project. Now it has been moved to the Lazarus-ccr and the current maintainer is Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho, but if anyone is interrested in taking over this position I'd gladly hand it over, since I don't have much time to spend in this project, I am just improving it a little since I use it as my daily music player. | |
| 53 | 53 | ||
| 54 | 54 | The main things to do now are fixing freezes which happen, adding a more iTunes like interface with only 1 list of musics and 1 directory treeview instead of 3 lists. Also interresting would be adding new modules for basing on fpsound instead of mplayer, but only after fpsound can actually play mp3. | |
| 55 | 55 | ||
| 56 | 56 | ### Subversion | |
| 57 | 57 | ||
| 58 | 58 | The sourcecode is available in the lazarus subversion repository(SVN). | |
| 59 | 59 | ||
| 60 | 60 | Initial checkout with the command: | |
| 61 | 61 | ||
| 62 | 62 | svn co <https://sourceforge.net/p/lazarus-ccr/svn/HEAD/tree/applications/cactusjukebox/> cactusjukebox | |
| 63 | 63 | ||
| 64 | 64 | after that you can always update your local copy doing "svn update" | |
