It supports most audio players, language packs, optional file downloads, media protection schemes, multi-level security, shared and private playlists, random playlists, images, etc. It also features an unusual, easy-to-use installer module to get you started in minutes.

Delete to Trash - Netjuke maintains a special trash directory that contains all songs that are deleted via the web interface. This provides additional security for your media collection and allows mistakes to be quickly undone.
