I need to be able to upload and organize some mp3 files. I need to be able to sort by artist/author, type of song, etc. Has this already been created? Or do I need to write this from scratch. These will need to be stored on my server. This will NOT be copywrited works. thanks for any advice
One issue to look into is that most hosts will limit the size of uploads via HTTP. This is due to issues it causes with server memory.
Any other thoughts on how to do this? I could use links but based on the type of user I expect, this could be a problem. Plus then I have to deal with broken links.
The best way would be to keep all the attributes on the database such as name, singer, lyrics and so on and upload mp3s using an ftp program. otherwise as ServerUnion said you would have problems with uploading files larger than 1MB or so. I have seen some tutoiral on the matter but they were far more simplified than you need. I would go with my own script. .
A long way round it is to have an option box, saying the artist. Depending what selection is made from the drop down box, depends on what folder it goes in. Then use a Directory Lister which automaticly shows files in that folder. The only problem is every time you have a new artist then you have to make a new option in the selection tags and a new folder. I used it for a site i built for work, to upload images to a set region
