The Jukebox Menu Module provides an improved means to view record or compact disc titles on jukeboxes that utilize a mechanical display system for seeing available music tracks. Thru a video display, the jukebox menu module displays compact disc or record content in the jukebox and allows the user to create, edit and view the content easily without the need to modify any of the wiring or functions of the jukebox itself. It simply replaces the existing original equipment, which is a mechanical module. Once the Jukebox Menu Module is installed, the jukebox menu buttons are used to change the video pages in a similar manner as the mechanical module flipped physical pages.
