Hi John, I'm not sure if this is along the same lines or not, but I've been developing a manager of sorts around PyKaraoke over the last month or so. Basically the idea works like this: Media pc - Hooked up to tv with speakers and mic. It has a daemon process running that interfaces with a database, polling for songs to play, processing player requests (pause, stop, etc..), putting song notifications up between songs, etc.. This machine (although it doesn't have to) also serves http pages that are where the management of the queue happens as the songs are added and manipulated through these pages. I've written an importer that will take songs from a directory, import there path into the database, and if possible will extract the artist and song name if it's named something simple like "artist - song.cdg" Controller pc/laptop - Through a web browser, you can search, add by song id (if you want to print everything out into books, people can just make songs requests by the song id in the database), song browser, song editing (for titles and artists that aren't quite right), queue manipulation (play this song next, play it NOW), play, pause, stop. I have a party next weekend that this is for, and once I'm through that, I'll probably make a very alpha release of it if anyone is interested. -- Iann Gorrill Network Analyst Loose Foot Computing (LFC Hosting) http://www.lfchosting.com/ 1-866-LFC-HOST (532-4678) Earn Free Hosting by recommending others to LFC: http://www.lfchosting.com/affiliate.shtml Recommend LFC to a Friend: https://cp.lfchosting.com/Recommend ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Pykaraoke-discuss mailing list Pykaraoke-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pykaraoke-discuss
