CoverArt defines the order in which files are searched for cover art.
Cover art is only used for CD skins at this time. The cover art found in
the folder for the first song in an album is used.
Multiple CoverArt paths can be set, so they are specified as CoverArt1,
CoverArt2, etc. Here, for example, are the CoverArt settings in the
default JUKEBOX.INI:
CoverArt1 = folder.jpg
CoverArt2 = AlbumArt_{????????-????-????-????-????????????}_Large.jpg
CoverArt3 = *.jpg
Default value: None
DefaultAlbum is the text to be used when no album name can be determined.
Default value: Singles
DefaultArtist is the text to be used when no artist name can be
determined.
Default value: Various Artists
FilenameCrop indicates whether or not to crop track, album and/or artist
artist information from filenames. This only applies when ID3
information is unavailable or disabled. If FilenameCrop is set to a
value of 2 or higher, that number of characters is always cropped from
the beginning of a filename. If FilenameCrop is set to 1 or Numeric, any
numbers and the space following them are dropped from the filename.
If FilenameCrop is set to Smart, any information in the filename up to
the last "- " (hyphen followed by a space) is assumed to be album and
artist information and is dropped from the title.
NOTE: Only the Smart and Disabled modes are currently available; Numeric
is not yet implemented.
Default value: Smart

from 1 to 32 levels deep. MaxFolderDepth sets how deep in the folder
structure to look for music. This will help prevent runaway indexing
if unexpected removable media is found on a song path.
Default value: 3
SmartCrop has been replaced by FilenameCrop; it is still supported
for backward compatibility.
Default value: Value of FilenameCrop

FilenameCrop.
SongPath sets the folder(s) in which to look for music. By default,
subdirectories under the current folder are searched; to search a
different folder, set SongPath to the folder to search. Additional
folders may be specified as SongPath1, SongPath2, etc. You may specify
the root folder of removable media; songs on that media will only be
used when the media is in the drive.
Example:
SongPath1 = C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\My Documents\My Music
SongPath2 = D:\
SongPath3 = C:\Music\Ogg
Default value: The jukebox program directory and below.

MaxFolderDepth.
StrictAlbum defines which album titles must have their songs in the same
folder to count as belonging the same album. This is necessary for
common album names like "Greatest Hits". If any StrictAlbum is set to *
(asterisk), all albums will be treated as Strict. Multiple StrictAlbum
settings can be specified as StrictAlbum1, StrictAlbum2, etc.
Example:
StrictAlbum1 = Greatest Hits
StrictAlbum2 = Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Default value: None
UpdateIndex indicates whether to rescan the index every time the jukebox
is started or to use the last index created by the jukebox. If
UpdateIndex is set to True, the jukebox will go through every song file
to make sure it exists and will add new files to the database and/or
update existing files. This can take a long time if there are a large
number of files; it's best used when a music collection changes often
or if some of the song paths are on removable or network paths. If
UpdateIndex is set to False, the jukebox will load the last index it
created; this is much faster, but could result in errors if a selected
song is not found.
If the index file does not exist, the jukebox will ignore this setting
and update the index.
Default value: True
UseID3 indicates whether to use ID3 for MP3 song identification, or OGG
tags for OGG files. If UseID3 is set to False, it will assume the
filename is the name of the song and set the artist and album based on
the folder structure. Since DOS does not use long filenames, if ID3
support is disabled the database should be created on a Windows
system.
Default value: True
