We have included the ability to import Microsoft Excel database files, Comma Separated Value database files and Jukebox Create-A-Label 2.x database files.

From the File menu in the label editor, select Import/Export > Excel Import Template. This will generate a excel database file which you can paste your existing excel database entries into. This file is formatted correctly as to which rows we will be pulling the information from. When this process is finished you can import the properly formatted excel file from the File menu. Select File > Import / Export > Excel. Choose the database from the file dialog.

From the File menu in the label editor, select Import/Export > CSV.

From the File menu in the label editor, select Import/Export > Jukebox Create-A-Label v2. Once the JDB file is imported you can add the other available information in the software such as, Label, Manufacturer ID, Year, Star rating and Jukebox Name. If you wish to combine your Jukebox Create-A-Label database files into one (1) master database, follow the steps again. Each import will add the imported database to the end of the new Jukebox Create-A-Label database.

Each entry on the database is independent of the rest. Each entry can have its own title strip title strip image, font, font size, font color, font casing & font position.

You can add any image you have on your computer. Simply right click on any image in the Label Style tab of the Design Pane, click Add. This will allow you to select any image file from your computer. The image will be copied into the title strip directory so if the image is ever edited you have the original image intact.

You can edit all title strip images regardless of whether the images are pre-loaded or user loaded. Simply right click on the image in the Label Style tab of the Design Pane, click Edit. This will open the image in the default image editor on your computer.

The fonts available in the program are the fonts you have installed on your computer.  To add a font, download and install a new font on your computer, and then relaunch the program.  Google offers free fonts here: https://fonts.google.com/

From the Font tab in the design pane, right-click on any font. Click exclude. If you made a mistake you can remove the font from the excluded font list in the settings menu.

If your title strips don’t fit in your jukebox you can adjust the size from the Size tab. Use the +/- buttons to adjust the size. You may have to adjust the position of the Artist and Title fields.

To save your design:

• Select the Presets Tab.
• Choose Add Preset.
• Give your design preset a name, and press OK.

To use the design again:

• Choose your preset from the list
• Choose the Apply button to apply the Style Preset

Use the Label and ID fields to add a second line of text. Use the position buttons to adjust the layout and obtain desired look.

Save this design as a Style Preset. When you want to create a label with 2 lines of text, choose this label as a starting point for the design.
