Hey anyone who actually reads this.

I’m sick of searching for a music video, or trying to find lyrics without getting innundated with my web browser making noises and slowing down because annoying popups want to abuse my machine. So this project (side project, not spending much time on it…) is gunna fix all my issues.

With an AmazonAPI Hooked in, i can search for artists. I’m in the process of writing a Lyrics web scraper and after that is videos (YouTube, etc) so that i can have all the info i need about a band in one place. Google is a wonderful thing, but everything in one place is much more efficient.

Anywho, here is the current url (Removed) it doens’t do much except cache the results, as the AmazonAPI has restrictions on how often i can speak to them (1 hit per second) it’s better i cache the results as it’ll speed up the search and prevent Amazon removing my account.

If anyone could just type in a few random bands, i would be greatful. I just need the content then i can have a bigger website, community driven effectively.

I don’t want to hear about bugs, crashes, slowness, this is so far from being ready it’s not true. But you can never have enough content, hence the release.

I will be writing a simple MP3 Tag Reader that’ll run through my collection of music, populating the DB too, should anyone be interested in devoting some time to running an app through their collection i will be greatful (just leave a comment). Sourcecode will be released with of course to prove i’m not about to chuck a worm onto your machine.

Cheers!
