Apple Touch Screen JukeBox

[JohnMak]

Do any of the experienced Mac users know wether there is any way to enable iTunes or any other Mac software to operate like a JukeBox so that listeners can select their own music without having to use a mouse?

This is for a small Bar.

 

Something along the lines of the Riptide Touch Tone system available for Windows OS see http://www.mp3touchscreens.com/

 

I would prefer to go Mac than Windows.

 

Many thanks

Elo is the less expensive route http://www.elotouch.com/Products/LCDs/default.asp

 

TrollTouch is a little neater looking, but more expensive http://www.trolltouch.com/

Gang,

 

We used the Mac mini with the ELO touch screen last year at RMAF:

Scroll down a little for pictures. This actually worked really well and we could use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse from a distance or use the touch screen.

 

I actually have that rig on ebay as I opted for a MacBook Pro which of course meant that as soon as I got it that the NEW models would come out.

The Mini already sold by BIN.

 

There are some simple settings to set and then you are up and running.

 

I would suggest putting a mouse there for stuff like passwords and stuff. I also used a program called Touch Strokes which was a programmable keyboard that was real nice when I didn't feel like dragging out a keyboard.

 

Thanks
