Hi all

I'm trying to write a music database. I have set up a sample index page and the bio of one artist( these are writen in html at moment till I find what is needed).
I would like some feed back as to what people think and if things should be changed or added.
The site is : Media Recyclers just click on the music database link.

Thanks to all in advance.

Thank you.

Once I find out what people are looking for and what they think about the site, I will start to try and code it. If all goes well I will submit as a module.

Thanks

I'd recommend checking out "Debaser" - as this is a reasonable module that was never finished... a few people are using it - and it has a few decent features.

But, as I said, it was never properly finished.

It may give you a few ideas.

One feature I would strongly suggest, is for it to be able to link to other modules for either each artist - or each release - ie discussion (forum), articles (wf-sections/whatever) and so forth....

Thanks I'll look into that.

A long time ago I came accross CDBase which I thought was pretty good, bit buggy , but ok. I can't seem to find this any more, that is the main reason I thought I would have a go and write my own.

Cheers

Whoops - dbaser is Franks very nice music player / library module - and it isnt buggy at all! (got my module names mixed up!)

Sorry Frank!

I actually meant CDbase!

Good combination would be your module and debaser

Hi davidl2. Thanks for pointting me to these others, I'll look into them.

Seen as you are the only one with some feed back, I have a couple of questions.

1: Do you think links to mp3's of the songs listed should be displayed?

2: On the main index page, should I put a count of songs by that artist next to their name eg. Abba (20) ?

Thanks
Basza

I think both of these are good ideas, but they should be optional for each entry.... for legal reasons people may want to avoid putting mp3s - although they may decide to add short 30 second recordings at a later date.

The numbers of entries - again a good idea, but if its optional - it may be better for some users.

One big problem with CDBase (which I'm going to cheat with if I use!) is that artists cannot have more than one genre - but some artists may make more than one type of artist.

Here's an example.... Tammy Wynett (sorry - my spelling is terrible!) - the Country and Western Singer.... although Country and Western is her main genre, she did make one pop record (with the KLF - Justified & Ancient) ...
