This suite of command line scripts transfers your cds onto computer into wav, mp3, ogg or flac format and creates table of contents files that can contain category/preference information as well as artists and titles. This information can be used to name the track files sensibly and to tag mp3, ogg and flac files.
Once that's done (and it can take a long time), the computer (preferably connected to a sound system) becomes a virtual jukebox. By default, this jukebox plays the user's favourite tracks continuously in random order but there are also reasonably good searching facilities to select tracks.
If you have a home network, you can run a jukebox network server and control it via a graphical or command line client (this is only really useful if the jukebox computer is connected to a common sound system).
Other scripts included write files, directories, iso9660 images or wav files to cdr/cdrw, or backup audio cds onto cdr, or backup an mp3/ogg collection onto multiple cdrs.
This is a simple jukebox system. Everything is written in bourne shell or perl (except the graphical client which is in java-1.2). Everything is plain text (i.e. configuration, tocfiles, playlists). There is no requirement to run huge applications like database servers or web servers (although hosts running the graphical client need a java-1.2+ runtime engine installed). You might need to download a few things but they're small (except java).
Jukebox is freely available under the GNU General Public License.

Currently, jukebox is only known to work on:
It probably works on any Linux system that has the prerequisite software installed and working.
There is the Jukebox-HOWTO, a README file and a manpage for each of the scripts that comprise jukebox and a manpage for the configuration file that affects their default behaviour.
