I’ve been looking for a tool to manage my music collection for a while. At first, a couple of years ago, I considered building one myself. Since I have little time that didn’t seem like an option. The featuers that I want are:
- be able to add data about vynyl, dvd’s, and cd’s
- web-based so I can share info on my website
- possibly with a client that runs on my laptop (windows) or my computer (linux) that does CDDB lookups (i.e., look up the information from cd’s online so that I don’t have to type them in manually)
- possibly also store things like cover-art and lyrics
- the back-end has to be web-based and preferably run on a LAMP (Linux – Apache – Mysql – PHP) platform
I’ve looked everywhere and haven’t found what I was lookin’ for. I’ve seen some pretty impressive tools targetted at the Windows platform but that’s out of the question. Anyway, this is sort of a last chance: does anyone know of a good tool for music management that meets my requirements? Otherwise, back to the drawingboard and try to find the time to build something myself…
