## Abstract

A wall-mountable jukebox and cover assembly in which a jukebox chassis is exposed by the cover in a display screen and in one or more payment receptors for pay-for-play payment collection devices. The jukebox chassis and cover are designed to enable the jukebox chassis to detachably slide-on to the cover. Various securing mechanisms and access mechanisms may be configured. The jukebox and cover assembly is configured for use in commercial venues and can be customized to each location.

## Claims

a jukebox chassis comprising digital jukebox processing circuitry and storage, a display screen and at least one payment collection device; and
an enclosure for the jukebox chassis, the enclosure having a first opening through which the display screen is exposed and a second opening for inserting payment into the at least one payment collection device, wherein the jukebox chassis is arranged in the enclosure.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The wall-mountable jukebox system according to claim 1, wherein the enclosure is configured to be detachable from the jukebox chassis.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The wall-mountable jukebox system according to claim 1, wherein the jukebox chassis and the enclosure are configured to enable the jukebox chassis to be slid on to the enclosure, wherein a plurality of supports incorporated in to the inner surface enclosure facilitates the sliding on of the jukebox chassis.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The wall-mountable jukebox system according to claim 1, wherein the jukebox chassis comprises a front panel including the display screen and the payment collection device, and a rear panel including the digital jukebox processing circuitry, storage, and communication circuitry.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The wall-mountable jukebox system according to claim 1, wherein components of the jukebox chassis exposed by openings in the enclosure are limited to the display screen, access to payment inputs to one or more payment collection devices including the payment collection device and a lock.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The wall-mountable jukebox system according to claim 1, wherein the jukebox chassis comprises a defined border surrounding the display screen, wherein the defined border includes a plurality of lights configured to vary one or more patterns and/or colors of lights in response to selected characteristics of music currently being played on the jukebox and/or in response to the ambient noise in a location at which the jukebox system is mounted.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The wall-mountable jukebox system according to claim 1, wherein the digital jukebox processing circuitry is further configured to receive online payment for audio or video item to be played by the jukebox system.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The wall-mountable jukebox system according to claim 1, wherein the jukebox chassis further comprises a lock configured to secure the enclosure to the jukebox chassis.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The wall-mountable jukebox system according to claim 8, wherein the enclosure includes a third opening through which the lock is accessed by a user.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The wall-mountable jukebox system according to claim 1, wherein the jukebox chassis further comprises a lock configured to secure a door which, when opened, provides access to the at least one payment collection device.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The wall-mountable jukebox system according to claim 10, wherein the display screen is incorporated into the door, and wherein the jukebox system is configured to enable the door to be opened while the enclosure is attached to the jukebox chassis.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)
