    I found this track on YouTube and ripped it and wanted to have it as a selection on one of my jukebox wall boxes. The original, was by the Stylistics, covered by Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross in the Seventies, but I like this better.



    It's a bit of a labour. The selections are on a dedicated playlist on a 20 year-old iPod. As the wall box can only select 160 mp3s (any can be a whole CD if you want it to, but you can't play individual tracks on them).
    I have to connect the iPod to my laptop, then open iTunes and find the playlist, usually it can't find a couple of tracks, so I have to add them.
    Then I have to remove one I don't want to include the new one. I have to be careful I put it in the right place on the playlist, otherwise all the title cards will play the wrong track. I then have to print off a new title card for the selection.
    The biggest problem is remembering how to do it! As I don't often change the selections.
    I've a choice of 160 mp3s on each box, plus I've a spare title card magazine so that gives me 160 more. Each requires its own iPod
    What pleases me most about my vintage system is it all works!

    I added the track to a playlist on an MP3 stick in my car, that took about 30 seconds!
