Comment on Tip #2: How to populate Played tab by vee barlow

I am intrigued by the fact that vynils can be catalogued! Besides downloading the plugin, I take it that you have to have a vynil player nearby? Do you then transfer the music onto the pc, or how does it receive the tracks?
I do not need a long technical explanation – which maybe beyond me – but just how you set about it to do the cataloging.
Looking forward to your reply
Regards

How about an iPhone app to read/lookup my database?

1) Do you have your own website?
Yes. My whole music database is online on a dynamic website fully written in ASP. While the albums here (Racks and Tags) are only the ones that are on my notebook.

2) Would you be interested in embedding some of the information in your Racks and Tags database in your website, and what kind of information:
Maybe the recent played, not really sure what could be embedded from R&T

3) What method of embedding would you prefer:
Some widget or open code

4) any other comments/suggestions?
I came to R&T thinking that I could hear some of the music online. My mistake. Would be great. The “community” side of the site could be better. I really don’t know how, but something that would let all the member comment and share about their musical experience. Maybe it’s not the place to do so. As I said, I don’t know what, but something is bugging me.

I would be very interested in adding my music library to my website. I think a Java applet would probably work best, although I don’t mind making a whole page available in an iframe.

I think if you are going to do it, you should make ALL of the data available online.

Thanks and good luck.

1) Yes
2) I would love to embed! I would particularly like to show an artist cloud, and a genre cloud if genre tagging is ever enabled here. I used Wordle once to generate a cloud for my site, but I have to redo it every time I add new artists.

I would also be interested in showing recent acquisitions, and maybe a customizable playlist – I already do the playlist through another site, Grooveshark (currently visible on my site). Adding images to the RSS feeds would also be great.

3) Personally, I prefer the most flexible/compatible methods, so I’d like images and javascript, and maybe more RSS. SWF if the others aren’t possible for the function needed.

1) Do you have your own website? (yes/no)
I do have a website, and until Racks and Tags came along, I used to export the database to HTML files and upload them to the site. This worked well in as much as the information is customisable and I was able to specify the size of images etc (see number 4 for more on this subject!)

2) Would you be interested in embedding some of the information in your Racks and Tags database in your website, and what kind of information:
I also currently have a little blog in development and I would really like to be able to add information onto it, and to be able to completely customise the content of this information (to include all of the suggestions you’ve made) and maybe more (ie a link from the album/artist to the corresponding place in Racks And Tags) would be splendid!

3) What method of embedding would you prefer:
Although SWF is a really neat way of displaying information, I tend to avoid using it because there are still people out there who don’t have the latest version installed, or have it installed at all. WordPress widgets would be good, as would some sort of customisable Javascript/HTML etc. I am not massively clued up on anything other than HTML/PHP but would be happy to be able to play around with code to get the right info in the right format etc.

4) any other comments/suggestions?
I would like to be able to place more images with my album information. I tend to scan the cover and disk of CDs that I buy (don’t ask me why!) and would quite like to be able to add all images to the OrangeCD database, if not Racks and Tags as well. Although I only scan the front cover, and not the whole boolets, I appreciate that could/would mean a significantly increased use of disk space on the website if it were available for upload, but I would be willing to pay a little more monthly fee for that functionalilty.
As well as the capability of adding widgets etc to my website/blog etc, I’d quite like to be able to modify the layout/design of my racks and tags pages – especially the individual album pages. As mentioned before, I’d like to be able to show bigger cover images if nothing else.
