A coin operated music player that offers
selectable plays. Mechanical juke boxes originated in the late
1800's with electronic juke boxes coming into the picture in the
late 1920's. In the 1960's a typical juke box would hold from
50-100 45rpm records, i.e., 100-200 selections. Video juke boxes
that play videodiscs were introduced in the late 1970's. In the
late 1980's came the CD juke box that could play up to 3,000 songs.
Now juke boxes are linked up to the Internet and the playlist
is virtually unlimited. Juke boxes are usually found in cafes
or taverns, however, personal pocket player juke boxes that play
5,000 songs or more are now widely used by many people. See: LOCATION,
