Why ?
- Multimedia players are two heavy
- I always have an internet browser opened
- Give each music file a status (normal,hatred,loved)
- Plugging
or not external hard drives with media content
- I will be able to save all the status' of the files
Requirements ?
- EasyPHP
- Media Player Classic
- An internet Browser
How ?
With m3u playlists (configure Opera to open it directly, it is fast 'n easy).
You put a marker on the different roots of your different music folders. Each subfolder will be scanned.
The program scans the root and its subolders (needs a long time). It calculates the checksum and the size of files with a known extension (mp3,wma,wav,ogg,...).
Here is the main page's screenshot :

"Lancer la moulinette" is to scan the roots (here : d: because I placed an abc-called file on d:/) but if I plugged my external drive, it should have appeared because I placed a marker on it.
"Rien ne va plus !" generates a random playlist of 15 (or more) songs with a ratio of loved tracks and without any hatred track.
The smileys are used to ban or love a track and an heart means : "beloved song".
The project will soon be avilable for download.
In the future : create and save playlists thanks to a search field all in ajax + PHP !
I am seeking for someone who could help me. To identify the files, CkeckSum + Size is not good (imagine you changes the tags).
I know on
http://musicbrainz.org/ you'll find interessant infos. I search a php function to calculate a TRM audio fingerprint : am I dreaming ?
