Hello !
I wish to develop a database application with a lot of specific
functionnalities dealing with sound files.
I have developped an Access prototype and run into a first problem : it
is not so easy to find code working with VBA to extract the duration of
a sound file. I have found many code samples, none works perfectly with
all sound files (variable rates, ...).
A second problem I have is that I recently started programming with
Python, and gosh, the idea of coding with VBA after tasting Python is
like going back to black & white television after tasting color and 3D !
Access, and more generally VB, is excellent for building the GUI (forms,
widgets etc.). Python is a great for coding, and it comes with high
quality libraries... Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can
build my database app with nice Access-like GUI, and programming with
Python ?
One idea that has come to my mind is to store python modules in the
Access database and write VBA code to execute these on the fly... Is
this crazy ?
Thank you for any ideas you might have...
Jean-Marie
PS : just to make my need clear and precise, here is a list of
functionnalities that I will have in my application : register sound
files with all their characteristics (duration, ...), play (including
quick listening with acceleration and jumps), register love level for
each sound file and different users, automatic production of music lists
based on predefined structures (example of a structure : 20 min
classical and quiet, 20 min children songs, 30 minutes South American
music, ... extra sound files like short bird songs being inserted
randomly here and there, I am thinking of a meta-language to describe
such a structure) taking into account love level and how long it has not
been heard, ...
