How to write an mp3 search engine in any language that you want - my favorites are php or ror or python - I don't want it to store the result in a db, coz eventually the db will crash, can you write a tutorial about that? coz i have not find any tut on the web
I wonder how tough is it to write proper and complete words in English? Anyway, you will not find any tutorial on that subject matter, because what you want is vague. If you don't want to search the database, Where else you want to search? Flat file? The internet in real time? Good luck with that...
my english is good enough, i can understand it lol if you haven't understand something I can use other sentences so you understand it. I didn't said that I don't want to search a DATABASE, I said that I don't want to store the results in my DATABASE, I want to search specific website, I know that this is strange to you but they lately created something called web crawler lol, have you ever heard of it? I guess not...I want to search websites like vk.com which is a russian social network, it's arguably the biggest social network believe it or not, this is not the point and yes I know of facebook lol vk.com has more than 50 million mp3. Want I want is a vague? Lol lol lol there are hundreds and thousands of mp3 search engine out there, you need to see beemp3.com probably...see that beemp3.com/disclaimer.html 1. Beemp3.com DOES NOT HOST any of the songs displayed on this site. 2. Beemp3.com indexes these files which are located on remote servers which neither Beemp3.com nor it's affiliates have any connection with / control of / association with. 3. You download MP3 files from another host service. (NOT FROM BEEMP3.COM)
Jeez, so you know sarcasm.. Alright, let me explain it.. beemp3.com does not host the MP3 files on it's server, but it indeed stores the results in database. The result being URLs from other sites that host the MP3 file. Again, you have no idea what a web crawler does. Web crawler crawls the web, scraps information from different webpages and stores them in the LOCAL database. At the end you have to use a local database to search for content (regardless of fact whether or not you have THAT content hosted on your own server). Think about a real time web crawler, it will go to scrap every single page on vk.com or whatever site you want, every time every single user searches for anything. Now think about how much time and bandwidth that's gonna cost you, specially if target site hosts about 50 million songs on different page. Still you want to do that, learn about regular expressions and php function preg_match() for matching the data, and cURL or php functions like fsockopen or file_get_contents or fopen/fread/fget for scraping the data. If vk.com offers an API service (Like facebook does) to search it's database for MP3s, you can make a search engine without storing the result locally, but if thats not the case.. Good luck with your project.
you can start from free search engines script like sphider... with little modification U can make this only crawling for mp3 files.. and just store the link of those songs in database.. not the real mp3 file... look at my site... I think this is kind of sites U want to make....
thank u man, finally some1 understand the idea, but last time i tried to use sphider, I couldn't index the mp3 so I searched and they say on the forum that you can't use it to index mp3, that was a while ago, so can u help? is this gonna work? http://wapteams.com/63-mp3-search-sphider-v31.html
ya,, I used sphider before to crawl mp3 link.. work like a charm.. but couse I already had my own script I buid from scratch.. I didn't use sphider again.. one thing that why I am not used sphider again is only because this script take too much of server resource...
i wanted to use sphinx at first coz many sites use it but it's really complicated to install lol may i know sir, from where do u crawl your mp3... i wanted to crawl vk.com, it has 50 million mp3 but I'm struggling to bypass the login using cookie fetching so may I know what sites do you crawl? and if you were to sell the script, what's the price sir? coz this project is for my friend, I'm trying to help him lol, he bought a script from someone, it cost about 60$ it searches youtube and convert the songs to mp3 using ffmpeg but curl kept crashing so it didn't work and so if you were to sell your script how much it cost, I will tell him about it, I like the script but yesterday I searched for I have nothing for whitney houston but didn't see any result
hello elie,, I will try to consider you offer... my site is fully automatic search engine.... soo it really depend on visitor searching... when yesterday U didn't find what U want i am sure now U will find soo many thats songs result.. all search keyword stored in database and my crawl engine works with those all keyword.. try this.. http://www.mp3freeze.com/search/whitney+houston I use many sources.. from 4 shared, esnips, wrzuta znd mzny other.. I think I can made one custom for U.. I wanna keep my site unique..
