Installation and how to add music files:

To install the mod drag the contents of "Drag all contents to .minecraft folder and overwrite" to the .minecraft folder and overwrite . The default block IDs are 230 and 231 but can be changed in the props file. EQ animations can also be disabled in the props file (for people who use MCPatcher for HD texture packs - read the FAQ for more info).

One song (Test Track) Which was made by me (MindKrafter) is included with the mod and will be automatically placed in the  minecraft\resources\mod\boombox folder so that you can make sure the mod is installed correctly.
I give permission to use the song "Test Track" however you see fit.

4.Convert your music files to .ogg or wav, and then add them into "boombox" folder.
(\.minecraft\resources\mod\boombox)
Whatever is in that folder will be loaded automatically and the boombox can play them.

For audio conversion I use and recommend

Audacity

I = Iron Ingot
W = Wooden Planks
R = Redstone
G = Glass Block
N = Note Block

Note: If you experience songs skipping or making a ticking noise, make sure there are no strange characters or out of place numbers.

Examples of song title formats that work. (Numbers used as a preface are fine)

A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran

Love Action (I Believe In Love)

don_mclean-american_pie

01 Stairway to Heaven

Nena - 99 Luftballoons


Things that will cause a track not to play.

Characters like the these examples.
\ / : ? " < > |

Numbers at the end of titles, as below

song 9
track 01


NB: The sound engine Minecraft uses can supposedly stream ogg, wav, mus, xm, s3m and mod files (half of which I've never heard of). In my experience .ogg and wav work best(I recommend .ogg as it has good quality and much smaller file size).

How to use:


1.2.5 PK Boombox(2speaker + remote)

The boombox by itself plays like a jukebox. (music will play locally up to 65 blocks away)

To double the music volume, add a speaker to one side of a boombox.(music will play locally up to 65 blocks away)

To make it so the music will play worldwide, add a speaker to both sides of a boombox.

Music tracks can be turned on/off or changed from anywhere in your world with the remote control.

Redstone can be used to toggle (i.e. like a button) music on or off.


1.2.5 PK Boombox(Original Speakers)

The boombox by itself plays like a jukebox. (music will play locally up to 65 blocks away)

Add two speakers, (one on each of a boombox) and the volume will double (double record volume).

Add 4 speakers (2 on each side of a boombox) and the music will play worldwide.

Redstone can be used to toggle (i.e. like a button) music on or off.


Enjoy!
