(Windows 2k, Apache, PHP, MySQL, Large Computer with Raid Array and Big Drives!!!) (Appology if this is been asked before, but I couldnt see it)
Hello, First of all I had better say I don't think I am doing anything illegal. I have over a thousand origional CD's, and would basically like not having to swap the CD's etc. It's amazing some of the tracks I love but never play. I end up playing the albums, and not the singles etc. What I basically would like is to have a form of automatic jukebox on my computer. So what I have done is made a MySQL database with all the Artist, Genre, CD's and Tracks (including mixes). I have typed in all the information into this, and checked it as much as possible. What I would like is to put the music track in a blob field, rather than a file. Is there someway that PHP can read the CD and rip the files??? Or would I need to rip the tracks in a program, and then basically upload them in a form? (The second option would take longer for me of course) Now I could write some sort of C++ or Java program that uses this data and plays the CDs with some fancy choosing of artists and genre etc. But can anyone think of a way to do it from PHP? Someone said WinAmp had a command line interface, perhaps send it tracks from a PHP file. Not sure if it returns informaiton to PHP. One thing I did think was learning the PHP-GTK, with this project as a goal. But I know I can do what I want to do in Java, just not sure if there are any good mp3 modules etc for PHP.
