MP3 Database browser

Summary: DDJ is a PHP based MP3 database browser. Users can search through their database for
artists, discs or songs by text string or by year.

Requirements: PHP, Apache, MySQL, MP3 database created by grip

Development: This project was developed using Apache (1.3.12), PHP (4.0RC-1), MySQL 3.22.32.

Installation:
	- Install ddj.tar.gz into a directory in your web server (i.e. /home/httpd/html/ddj)

	- The database was created when I made my MP3s using the program called grip. I
	  look for suggestions of an easy to method for people to create a database
	  from a directory of MP3s using their ID3 tag info.

	  Since the information in the database is public knowledge (artist name, disc,
	  song names via CDDB). I am including a copy of the MySQL database of my MP3s.
	  (ddj_mp3_db.tar.gz).

	  This should give you an idea of the format on how the database works. NOTE:
	  the General Stats page (disk space used, large and small file
	  size) and Files Missing (all files will be missing because it actually looks
	  for them).

	  Install the database into the /var/lib/mysql directory. You will need to change
	  your master MySQL table to show that this new database exist. As well you will need
	  to add username and password for this.

	- You need to change the following files for the location, username and password
	  of the MP3 database:

	  browse_engine.php3
	  filemissing.php3
	  mysql2.php3
	  query_engine.php3
	  query_engine2.php3


Directions:

	- start the browser by loading index.php3
	- Sections:
		General Stats: Provides statistics like time to play entire database and
		  and other details.
		Query Page: Allow search either by text string or year for artist (string 
		  search only), disc, or song.
		Browse Database: Search by either artist, disc, or song from a menu.
		Missing Files: Provide a list of files that are in the database but not
		  present on the hard drive.
