Audiosoft, I have an idea that should help you to spread eJukebox:
What about you include a demonstration database with a bunch of abum covers and their demo mp3s.. Of course you will also add a menu to drop the demo
database once the user started with his own collection. I say that in order to avoid screenshots like that, a poor first experience! Otherwise it's
not that I'm a fan of demos songs...
Like the idea but the installer would be too big if it included more than one or 2 demo mp3s...a mpeg video on first time may be nice.
Then maybe you could put a bunch of album covers without any mp3?
If you do so, just make sure the images / music are licensed appropriately (ie. Creative common or the like) distributing with copyrighted material is
asking for trouble.
I don't know that this start-up is necessary, but you may be able to offer two versions: a basic one and one with 'free' mp3s a la winamp.
I think people will get a good first impression as soon as they start loading in music they'll actually listen to and see how the software looks and
operates.
Just curious. Where is the demo downloaded? I referred this to one of my colleagues.
