Ok i have just got this box and i have to say it is just about worth it's money.

Firstly, when you get the box, you plug it in and all the lights come on, everything is fine and the radio comes on in stereo mode.  You insert the CD and the CD will then take a minute to load before allowing you to make a song selection.

I live in the UK, a voltage converter allows you to use this product in the UK as it is made for people in America.  It is very nice and operates smoothly, there are a few issues with it but more plus points. 

Ok here is the thing, you may not be happy with the songs in which are already on it, so you'd like to change them yes?  Here is some things to watch out for.

When you download the software and run it, when you search for folders to get MP3's from, be sure not to search large music folders such as "My Music" which may contain 1000+ songs, i say this because after so long when adding songs, you will get an error message and once the ok button is clicked the program will exit.

To get around this, create a folder on your local drive and then put all of the songs you wish to have on the jukebox into that folder, then you may scan that folder and add them to the play list within the software.

Also note, you can only search local drives otherwise you will get an error message displayed and the program will then exit once the ok button is clicked.  To avoid this, make sure that the folder containing the songs in which you'd like on the jukebox is on your local drive, e.g. on your desktop.

You drag the songs in which you'd like on the box onto the slides in the software and once happy you can then make CD.  What will happen is all of the songs will be put into a folder for each song, this is just so that the jukebox knows what song is at what position e.g. A1.

Next when you have done that, you can then begin to print your cards, what i did was buy some blank white card and print onto that.  Again watch out for the printing as it's not always done right.  Sometimes it will print half of a slide and then stop, sometimes it will print both sides at different positions from one another so be sure that you align your paper right within the printer before hand.

When you are done, you can then cut your card out and replace the ones in your jukebox (the pre-printed ones from the Tyrell Store see to be sold out and i don't think anymore are to be made).

When you have done that you can then burn the folders with songs in onto a CD using such software as Nero or Roxio.  Once this is done you can then put the Cd into the jukebox and begin picking songs after it has loaded.  Just one thing to note is that sometimes you may see something like #0000# on the screen, just give it a few minutes or turn the jukebox off and then back on again, that will usually solve it.

Overall it is just about worth it's money, the 100 song limit is ok but you'd like to store more than say 6 albums.  But another thing in which you can do is create your own slides and have a picture of the album etc. on the sheet if you do it in something like a word processor or desk top publishing software.

So everything does work, it is a bit fiddly at times but it does work, it is just about worth it's money.  If i had to buy another one then i am not sure, i may do but i'd probably just go for a multi CD jukebox as you do eventually end up being limited with 100 songs.  Overall though, not a bad item at all, i like the design and the wacky colours and sounds.

Very nice guys
