Hello all,
I am currently in the process of making a new web site for musicians.
The basis of the site is an archive/folder of mp3 files containing the file names:
"artist-track.mp3"
I have been making static html web-sites for some time and I am fairly new to PHP but I do have some understanding of PHP code.
So far, I have made a web-site template which includes a working PHP forum talking to a mysql database.
But I struggling to find a way to make my several thousand mp3 tracks easily navigable by artist name and then by track.
I need some kind of way (instead of manually integrating thousands of mp3 files) of being able to do the following:
1. An alphabetical navigation bar for querying and displaying all artists by that letter.
This artists page will display query results as hyperlinks to take the user to a page for that artist.
A page for each artist with a list of their tracks (these query results will be hyperlinked to take the user to a page for that particular track.
Once a user has navigated to the page containing a particular track, a flash player will appear on the page to play the mp3 file.
A link on the track page to download the mp3 file.[/b]
I know this is a big ask but I have been trying to figure out a way to do this for some time and any help to point me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
James
