Jukebox which plays sounds on keypress

How to configure

In the configuration-file .jukeboxrc you mainly can set the desired location in which the sound-files are located and you have to set a few parameters for each "sound-effect".

# be sure note to put this in quotations
dir=~/Musik/sounds/

sounds[0]="Sound1:sound1.mp3:b"
sounds[1]="Sound2:sound2.mp3:c"
...
sounds[n]="Soundn:soundxy.mp3:i"

Explanation:

sounds[x]="Soundx:soundyz.mp3:x"

sound[x] x should be the number coming next in the array
be sure there is the row of numbers (in the example 0-n) is complete.

="Soundx is the name you want your sound-effect to appear as
:soundyz.mp3 is the filename
:x" x is (in this case) actual Key assigned to this sound-effect

Please do NOT forget to put : between the individual arguments!
