A couple of days ago I told you about one of my new projects in the "Pimp your project" thread (http://lxer.com/module/forums/t/26017/): The jukebox.Quoting:I'm writing a jukebox daemon similar to MPD, the Music Player Daemon. The biggest difference from MPD is that I want my jukebox to be aware of other jukeboxes and be able to manage multiple libraries dynamically. MPD can only manage one library. I want to make it work with Avahi/Zeroconf. The jukebox code is finally stabalizing a bit, so I think it's time I make a real project out of it, build a website and announce it on freshmeat et. al. However, I am stuck finding a decent name for it. I can't call it "jukebox". It's far too general. Got any suggestions? |

Quoting:House Party I love the concept and idea. Problem: on my side of the big pond a "House Party" is like a techno/rave party You know, stuff like Thunderdome with 5.000 XTC popping bald guys. Aren't there other names for the concept of "bring your own music" parties? What's it called in the UK? What did you call it when back in the 60s and 70s you'd drag your stack of vinyl to a friend's house and listen to music all day long? Quoting:BYOS Sorry, I don't like abbreviations. Acromyms on the other hand.... :-) Quoting:MusicMesh Not bad. But it's taken: http://www.musicmesh.net/ |

Well, knowing that I enjoy puns and various ways to pull off a play on words, your name has one built into it in english. Audio Sander A sander being a tool that takes rough things and makes the smooth. |
| techiem2 Nov 03, 2007 11:20 AM EDT |
Nice. It takes the rough chaos of multiple audio collections and "sands" them into a nice smooth jukebox collection. |
| Abe Nov 03, 2007 2:25 PM EDT |
Quoting:Not bad. But it's taken...How about http://www.MusicSander.com I don't think it is taken. Quick, hurry up and take it. |
| hkwint Nov 04, 2007 3:13 PM EDT |
Quoting:You know, stuff like Thunderdome For their own good, I hope they don't understand it, Sander. Anyway, if you like acronyms, may I suggest: Plays All Your Music, Everywhere! |
| Sander_Marechal Nov 04, 2007 3:47 PM EDT |
Hmmm... I really don't like naming a project after myself.Quoting:Anyway, if you like acronyms, may I suggest: PAYME? Pay Me? Erm, I'll pass :-) Perhaps Steve Jobs would be interested though ;-) |
| techiem2 Nov 04, 2007 4:12 PM EDT |
Quoting:PAYME? Pay Me? Erm, I'll pass :-) Perhaps Steve Jobs would be interested though ;-) It's the new payment system that goes with their new iBuy store! MusicWeb? AudioSpider? SPHNN? (Sander's Project Has No Name) |

An unprounceable symbol. Audio Sander is cool :) |
| Sander_Marechal Nov 04, 2007 9:19 PM EDT |
AudioVault? MusicVault? SongVault? Vault is not a bad synonym for the system, but it does imply "locking up" which my system doesn't do. TuneMesh? SongMesh? I still like the "mesh" word. Especially since my system could be able to do mesh networking. Is there a good synonym database on the internet that I could use to find alternative names? |
| hkwint Nov 04, 2007 10:06 PM EDT |
For synonyms, try this one: http://dico.isc.cnrs.fr/dico/en/search . The graphics, though you don't need them look cool. (It was the first thing Google gave, so it _has_ to be good! Ahem) |
| cyber_rigger Dec 02, 2007 7:35 AM EDT |
Since it makes the other machines regurgitate their song collections, "jukepuker" . At the time of this post google had zero hits for this name. You want something unique, easy to remember, and makes people curious. |
| Sander_Marechal Dec 02, 2007 2:50 PM EDT |
Funny but... eeeew.... :-) BTW: In a few days Google will have indexed this thread and you'll get exactly one hit for that word. You'll have created a googlewhack :-) |
| ColonelPanik Dec 02, 2007 3:44 PM EDT |
Sander, Is that true? That "word" should not even exist. First spimes now googlewhack? |
| dthacker Dec 02, 2007 7:19 PM EDT |
In the tradition of church suppers in the North Central US, where people all bring a dish to share. Hotdish! |
| cyber_rigger Dec 04, 2007 3:30 AM EDT |
>Funny but... eeeew.... :-) OK, "jukeduker". It dukes it out with the other machines to get their songs. Or "jukeDuker" , DukeJuker, DukerJuke, etc. Duke (as in the commander) of the Jukes. |

I was thinking about the old FM Towns game system.
I like Town, sounds like share/community/works together for something better, etc.
You have something that moves with you...
Travel... Crosstown Player XTown Player Something that says distributed but not in a 'Techie' way. I liked XShare and Spindlebox, but they were taken according to google. |

Out of TuxTom's list, i have to say i like TuneWok. |

I'm getting hungry from that list. I feel like take-away Chineese :-) |

"Juke Nukem Forever, if you want your fun NOW" |
| salparadise Feb 14, 2008 9:31 PM EDT |
Free4All This phrase, in the UK, implies an open to all, bring your own and make yourself heard type event. |
| gus3 Feb 14, 2008 10:42 PM EDT |
And in the US, it usually means some kind of fight, like a bar fight in the movies. Fists flying, glass breaking, and some happy chap in the middle of it picking up his beer mug just before his table gets smashed. |
| salparadise Feb 14, 2008 11:33 PM EDT |
Hehe - just about describes the current mp3 situation perfectly! |
| Scott_Ruecker Feb 14, 2008 11:35 PM EDT |
Sander: I think that if the name of the project has something to do with your name in either the spelling, pronunciation or in combining it somehow, it could be very cool. Please keep an open mind on it, its your project, if you were an Astronomer discovering a new star, you would want to give it a name that has meaning for you, about you or about someone you love.. What about a play on words or unique combination of letters and numbers? Examples: Hi5, 2fer, 2late, 1der... |
| ColonelPanik Feb 15, 2008 8:05 AM EDT |
Well for sure SM Player won't work! |

But Sal, that is a hallmark of the project. You don't get to keep it permanently, but you are listening to music that isn't your own. |
