Topic Description

This presentation describes an OS/2 based music server system. DB2 is used to store and search all the album titles, track titles and artists. Lyrics can also be indexed and are searchable. REXX code interfaces with the internet FREEDB cd information service to retrieve title and track information when new CDs are acquired. A java applet lets you build playlists and save playlists.

More than just a music search system, it actually controls up to 16 Pioneer CD changes, each capable of holding 300 CDs. (Currently 3 are installed.) In addition, two "Audiotrons" by turtle beach are also controlled by the system and allow music to be stored on the hard drives (currently 1 terabyte installed) and played via an ethernet LAN and fiber optic cable (toslink) through the main Hi Fi system.

The system interface is through HTML protocol, so any web browser on the LAN can search and play music through the home stereo system. A javascript program highlights what track is currently playing. You can also play an album by scanning the case with a bar code reader.

Intended Audience

Anyone who wants to jam...
