Giving a digital twist to the classic jukebox

If you thought that jukeboxes went out with the jive in the 1950s you would be wrong. Meath start-up TouchHits is now making plans to develop international sales of a state of-the-art touchscreen digital jukebox.

To meet the demands of the current generation of music lovers, company CEO and founder Adam McCrossan has created a slim, sleek 32-inch wall mounted ultra-modern device which is designed to resemble a giant smartphone or tablet.

“Called the JukePad this does a great deal more than a traditional jukebox. In addition to playing music and video content on demand, it streams digital advertising, can provide background music, is equipped with a digital camera for taking selfies and can publish information about the venue and its customers on social media,’’ says Mr McCrossan.
