MEDIA SCHEDULER is a compact, task-scheduling
tool designed to automate specific MEDIA JUKEBOX actions.
It can be used as a timer to start and stop the playback of
files and to record events.
Opening MEDIA SCHEDULER
MEDIA SCHEDULER is not accessible through MEDIA JUKEBOX.
You must select Start>Programs>MEDIA JUKEBOX 6.0>MEDIA SCHEDULER.
An icon will then appear in the Windows Systems Tray. Double-click
to open.
Playback
To begin, make sure the "Enable Task Scheduler" box in MEDIA
SCHEDULER is checked. Since MEDIA SCHEDULER is designed to
open MEDIA JUKEBOX and play the file(s) last listed in "Playing
Now," you must first:
1) Make sure "Start playing current
playlist" (Settings>Options>Start-up Settings) is selected
in MEDIA JUKEBOX.
2) Make sure the files(s) you want to schedule for playback
are, indeed, listed in "Playing Now." The easiest way to ensure
this is to begin playing the file(s) you want to schedule
for playback, click stop, and close MEDIA JUKEBOX.
To double-check that the right file(s)
are scheduled for playback, open MEDIA JUKEBOX. It should
automatically begin playing the list of files that you just
designated. MEDIA JUKEBOX does not need to be open for a scheduled
playback task to run. MEDIA SCHEDULER will automatically open
MEDIA JUKEBOX at the set start time.
Scheduling a single playback session.
To schedule a playback session repeatedly throughout the
course of a week, select the Add Periodic Task button.
Itıs a great way to use MEDIA JUKEBOX as an alarm clock.
Open MEDIA SCHEDULER and select "Add Periodic Task." The
Action window should read "Start MEDIA JUKEBOX." If it
doesnıt, select this phrase from the drop-down menu. First,
select a start time for this periodic playback. Then select
duration (in minutes). Now choose which days you would
like the periodic playback to occur. Clicking on "Custom"
lets you select/deselect particular days. Click "OK."
The periodic playback task you just scheduled will appear
in the "Periodic Task List" window. Right-clicking on
this task allows you to schedule another task, or edit,
delete or deactivate/activate the selected one.

Recording
Using MEDIA SCHEDULER for recording is a great way to capture
streaming events you canıt watch live. Before you schedule
a recording session, you must set your recording options.
Open MEDIA JUKEBOX, select Settings>Options>Recorder Settings.
Now:
1) Choose a Recording Source, most likely
being "Line-In."
2) Select a Recording Volume by sliding the volume bar to
the left or to the right. To allow MEDIA JUKEBOX to determine
the best volume setting for you, click "Auto" and follow the
directions.
3) If you are going to split tracks, make sure the "Split
tracks" button is checked and set the "Minimum gap between
tracks," the "Maximum gap level," and the "Minimum track length."
Click "OK." MEDIA JUKEBOX does not need to be open for a scheduled
playback task to run.
MEDIA SCHEDULER will automatically open
MEDIA JUKEBOX at the set recording time.
Scheduling a single recording session
Open MEDIA SCHEDULER and click on "Add One-Time Task."
Now select "Start Recording" from the Action drop-down
menu. Select the Start and Stop times and dates described
in "Scheduling a single playback session" above. The Recording
Source is determined by the current setting in MEDIA JUKEBOX.
For example, if you have selected "Line-in" in MEDIA JUKEBOX,
MEDIA SCHEDULER will display "Line-In" (Media Jukeboxıs
default). You can also type in the Artist and Album Names
before you begin recording. Click "OK." The recording
task you just scheduled will appear in the "One-Time Task
List" window. Right-clicking on this recording task allows
you to schedule another task, or edit or delete the selected
one. Recorded files are saved to the recording destination
you have selected in MEDIA JUKEBOX. (Settings>Options>File

Edit File
Associations MEDIA SCHEDULER also provides a quick way to
designate which file types you want MEDIA JUKEBOX to play.
Right-click on the MEDIA SCHEDULER icon on the Windows System
Tray and select "Edit File Associations." Deselect/select
file types by clicking on the box to the left of each file.
MEDIA JUKEBOX will play those file types with a red checkmark
next to them. You can also set MEDIA JUKEBOX to check and
reclaim file associations every __ minutes.
Reclaim File Associations
If you install other players after installing MEDIA JUKEBOX,
you may notice that certain file types that MEDIA JUKEBOX
used to play are now played by other players. MEDIA SCHEDULER
provides a quick way to reclaim those files that you had initially
set MEDIA JUKEBOX to play.
Right-click on the MEDIA SCHEDULER
icon on the Windows System Tray and select "Reclaim File Associations."
Now, all those file types you had designated MEDIA JUKEBOX
to play, (but might have been claimed by subsequently installed
players), will once again be associated with MEDIA JUKEBOX.
Note that the MEDIA
SCHEDULER status bar displays the next scheduled task, along
with the current date and time.
