Title: Randomized Menu Music Playlist
Post by: Swainky on July 27, 2018, 11:07:25 AM

So I tried searching first, but couldn't find the info I was looking for.
I am VERY new to AM but I'm trying to figure out how to (if possible) put together an MP3 playlist of rockin 80s music to play on random in the background while in the menus in attract mode.
I am building a cocktail cabinet and have all my roms working through mame running a windows pc using AM as the front end and currently all my menus are just silent. I'd like background music whenever not in a game and just randomize my current playlist of MP3s. Is this possible? Has this been done?
Thanks in advance all!
Game on! 8)

Do not use videos on AM?  :-\
Because my AM is a real party with the music and sounds of the different games and systems ... :P

This cabinet is not going to get played quite as much as simply be a feature of the room, so I would prefer it just have a random kick-ass soundtrack playing 24/7 with a mute button.
Also; I'm going to put lights on a motion sensor hooked to the woofer so lights will pulse with the music. Really much more of a showpiece.

Here is a link to the preliminary playlist if you feel like rocking out  8)

OK, good music...

There is a plugin in AM that is called Jukebox Mode or something similar... I do not remember it well, because I have never used it, but maybe you can use it for what you want ...
