Music on Rails 2

Posted by Peter Morris Wed, 23 Nov 2005 17:18:00 GMT

I am a bit of a music buff.

My CD collection runs to some 400odd CDs.

As you can imagine, 400 CDs take up some significant amount of space.

I really need to be able to play my CDs from any room in the house.

I’m a coder.

So, combining these, I came up with the idea of using a Rails app to generate an index to my CD collection (ripped into MP3 files) that can be served via shoutcast.

Heres the project page.

    I didn’t realise that Kylie has made 400 cds.

    Funny man,

    you have to understand I was counting those 365 copies of her “Kylie” album seperately.

    Really though, its a nice little system.

    Just working to integrate it with a bit of software I wrote last night to capture realaudio streams to MP3s. (ie BBC website listen again links)
