Hey all, I'm looking for recommendations for an application to managehttp://opendb.i-am-vegan.net/ allows you to catalog medias, but don't let you manipulate those file.
all the music on my fileserver, perhaps through a web interface. I have
a reasonably large library (>100k files), and manually organizing
everything is needlessly tedious.
I'm not interested in playing music (it wouldn't be a problem if the
functionality is there, but it's not a priority), just manipulating
files and metadata through a database-like interface.
That's neat, but not quite what I had in mind. I'm envisioning something
not too different than iTunes, without the playing/ripping/burning/iTMS
parts.
I'm sure I could just create a database with paths to files and the metadata I'm interested in; write some code to keep the DB in sync with the library; and use something like phpMyAdmin to edit and view the info over the web. However, I'm sure any existing project will be nicer than whatever I kludge together myself
But as it is a fileserver (maybe) you can mount those dirs then
easytag to tag those files and bash/mc to move/copy/delete them?
That's pretty much what I'm doing now, which I'm trying to move away
from.
I've seen a couple linux-based jukeboxes that integrate file management and music playback (e.g., slimserver, mdb). I'd be willing to use one of those as long as the file management aspect is sufficiently strong. Can anyone vouch for one of those? Is there any better way to manage a large music library that I haven't even imagined yet?
