The MP3 and OGG indexer

If you have lots of MP3s and OGGs, you might also have them organized in your directory. I for myself keep them all in /mp3 /mp3/Alben and /mp3/Songs.

Since there are lots of people who would like to be able to browse, search and download music from me, I wrote a 2-component-script which consists of an indexer who scans all my directories for songs and inserts them into my database and a frontend in PHP which allows browsing, searching and downloading of songs and even on-the-fly compression of whole directory-trees.

Screenshots

Sometimes, a screenshot says more than words.

here's what a search-result looks like.
And here's the directory-browsing view:

What you need:

• PostgreSQL Database >= 7.2
• Perl 5.X
• Perl Module Ogg::Vorbis::Header (available here) or Ogg::Vorbis::Header::PurePerl (available here)
• Perl Module MP3::Info
• Perl Module Digest::MD5
• Perl Module DBI
• PHP >= 4.2 with PostgreSQL support
• Smarty

HOWTO INSTALL

• Download the archive and copy the files to their locations. If it's not self-explaining, then you might not be the right person to use this program ;o)
• Copy the musicindexer.cfg either into /etc/ or /usr/local/etc/ - whatever you prefer.
• Make sure you edit it to suit your needs. The comments should explain what each option does. Use common sense *g*
• Create a pgsql user and database to store all the song-information in
• Run the musicindex.pl script from bin to create your database. You might want to do this via a cronjob.
