Just got mine today, same exact model. Was able to personalize and change the Deluxe to our family name. Love it! Appreciate your detailed review, I really learned a lot. Now I am going to take what I learned and play with it!

Excellent Review. Thank you. The one thing this is missing, is the cool moving mechanism that a 45 or cd jukebox bubbler provides. Maybe you can do a virtual one on the screen.

Thank you so much. I am looking at purchasing this digital version and this video answered a lot of questions I had.

The top two things weren't additional tweeters they are the motors to the top color cylinders. Also that bottom middle chevron cylinder is exclusive to the crystal model

I bought a Texas Roadhouse bubbler (made by Rock-ola) touch screen type Jukebox from a third party. While I like the nostalgia of a Jukebox I quickly discovered that most people these days don’t have the patience to search and add songs or albums to a playlist, so I had a great idea and plugged in an Apple TV streaming box and 5.1 receiver) . Now I can play about anything. All sorts of music (Spotify, Apple Music, Plex, Amazon music) and Videos (Apple TV, Amazon, Plex, channels) to an external TV and I can use the Apple TV remote to control it. Plus anyone that comes over can use their iPhone and to connect to it. Rock-ola should consider a streaming version that can do Music and Video and apps.

I will say that that crystal version bubbler is stunning though.

Got mine love it. How do you hook it up to Sonos?

[kzrider]

Pretty Cool. But, would be even more cool if did a few things in addition. 1. Actually have hardwire network. 2. Be able to play the music video as option. 3. At beginning of each song add a little hint of needle on record sound queuing up. For me the idea of JukeBox is nostalgia and what would be more is the record and even the push of button to select. Adding things could bring more interest in someone to purchase something so expensive. Other wise a simple home sound system and add neon lights on wall. As far your review great job. And thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! is there a way to copy the music from apple music to the jukebox? Have not had CDS in

I’m finding it difficult to find detailed technical information on their digital jukeboxes. What OS does it run the UI on?

How do I get my 180, 000+ tracks onto the jukebox? Does the OS have file sharing so I can transfer them from my music workstation?

Does it support Airplay? Which version?

Can an additional USB drive be added?

Does it support volume leveling?

What audio formats does it support? Does it support ALAC?

What happens when the internal hard drive DOES fail? User serviceable? Or, $$$ to Rock-Ola?

Only a 1TB drive? That’s painfully small. I’d need at least a 10TB or 2, 5TBs.

I see it’s windows OS. Can you hook up a keyboard and make further customizations?

How does the amp get its input? Is there a DAC. What bit rates, etc does it support.

I’m not thinking near-term, but if I do eventually get one, I’d probably throw in a Mac mini and use it to run the box remotely.

Is the touchscreen COTS? USB or serial connection to the PC?

[charliesouza]

just curious, but do have to have only cds for the jukebox? I quit buying cd's a while ago.

[biarritz]

What is the cost of one of these? Also my mp3s can i put title and artist, on usb before uploading? Thanks

[RenaissanceEarCandy]

I'd love one but 1tb is too small for me. Is the memory upgradable in any way?

[biarritz]

Can the screen be locked out? So no one can change😊

[philippeamy]

be careful, contrary to what can be said about software updates, going through the warranty period is not free but paying, I don't know if it's really interesting

[KeelOvisioN]

I wonder if they would just sell the software?

[ArkansasEV]

Excellent but I do wish they had done a better job at hiding the CD tray. The entire jukebox is simply georgous but that black CD box in the middle just does not look that great in my opinion. That won't stop me from buying one someday but I wish it had a sliding door or something that would hide it when you don't need it.
