I'm looking for a Jukebox player at a Party that lets anybody of the participants to add a song to the queue without having it played immediately over the song being played at the moment/cut the queue. I once had a very nice one running on Windows, but I can't get it to run with Mono. Well there must be something like that in Ubuntu I guess:
Needed features:
- fast search trough library (~20k songs)
- nice, easy to understand interface
- fading between tracks
- normal users can only search library and queue stuff
- superuser (of that program) has full control (is password protected)
- create & save playlist
- Should play the common formats (only audio)
- If the queue is empty, some predifined songs are played
Any ideas?
The user restriction is important. The computer will be operated by everybody there. Meaning nobody will try to hack the system, but there should be some kind of safety system that the running song will not change every 10 sek…
There is plenty of software available for Windows (like Media Monkey) surely there must be something for Linux

Try searching with a keyword "kiosk" as a software solutions for places where users share a computer, come and go.
Check out GMusicBrowser. It might be able to do what you want.
On a LinuxLinks site I see a list of jukebox players - after I quick look at Shrill and Room Juice I see they do have the desired feature of limiting controls (adding songs to queue only) but it would be nice to find something with moderin GUI.
magu_ is asking for a program that features prevention of songs being played right away and that allows party people to queue songs only. Right? Reading other answers I see it might have been not explicit enough.
