Felix Music Browser is inspired by, and contain ASP and JavaScript code from the One Web MP3 Server. Used ASP and JavaScript code contain all original copyright notes according to Open Source (GNU) program practice with comments/documentation on many/some(?) of the changes. While the excellent One Web MP3 Server use file objects for browsing and MS-Jet for search, Felix is primarily SQL based for browsing and search. For complex collections of music files Felix's SQL based approach may be faster and have more options for organization and information. For less complex collections, and for use on workstation platforms the One Web MP3 Server is the choice for most users. The browsing is intuitive and any change to the file structure is instantly available in the browser! The One Web MP3 Server is totally WEB based for all functions like database creating for search and administration. This is excellent, but probably rather slow even for a few thousand MP3 files. Felix is intended to be able to organize an unlimited number of all kinds of digital media files and related biographical and image information. This is a task normally seen by Public Libraries or large companies rather than the amateur collector. To make this possible with reasonable update times Felix administration is based on a Windows program (+ various helpers) for indexing and bulk update of the database. Database record search and editing is available as WEB forms for ease of use when upgrading record based information in the SQL, renaming music files or changing tag data. Felix is based on several Open Source (GNU) programs used as is, or modified - And a lot of original code where needed. Functions are written in JavaScript, ASP (VB), .NET (VB and C#), CA Visual Objects (C), MS-SQL, DOS (32bit) etc., according to what was needed to accomplish within reasonable time with the fastest possible code. Felix is not a traditional Portal application where every page must look the same. Web pages may be created with any (Microsoft compatible) tool and be presented in their original form. Images and text files may be added without any html formating - the objects will turn up automatically in the bowser. |
