PHP and MP3s
by Pascal Opitz on September 11 2006, 08:12
While setting up a media server for the Netaudio Festival next weekend I had not only to set up a dedicated machine with samba shares, Webserver and Web based interface, but also to play around with mp3s and ID3 tags.
First I wanted to use the id3 package . But after getting errors using the PEAR installer (phpize first was missing, then still failed when reading the package) I eventually gave up and went with the fantastic GetID3 script.
Very cool, especially because the MySQL Demo already features a full data structure and recursive indexing of directories.
I’ll keep you updated on this one as I want to make the script I wrote Open Source for everyone to enjoy, but it needs a bit of tidying up.

I’d love to set that up locally, for cool non-iTunes browsing!!!

If you look for a great full-featured media server with all bells and whistles, check Tunez ...
A bit of a hassle to install it, but it’s a great piece of software that supports playback on the hosting machine as well as icecast streams.
