Mike Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 as always over time look at how features are going and if can be improved or better ones offered while using the gallery for sound clips works ok, as it got used more, limitations were appearing, navigation poor, display of titles, no sorting, poor search and so on meant that had a look at another method, while looking sussed out that using this feature can offer a new feature for site..... A reference database of soul clips, that can offer the following all clips can be streamed quickly via a pop up intergrated flash player listing of clips can be sorted by artist, title, date , views etc etc intergrated with site search a seperate search function each clip can have scans, info, links to artists, links to cd availbility, sales past and present links and more posted each clip can be commented by any member, rated all members can submit clips (not available till 100% complete) current state : due to the potential of this feature, rather than wait till all extras have been finished, its been opened now as it works fine as its main aim : a dynamic reference content approx a third or so through adding clips - as updating content there may be a few duplicates, wrong titles, and such. Once all content is present a clean up of any errors will occur clips as this is a reference all clips are clips of the tracks and non-downloadable. The aim is to provide a reliable, regularly updated reference and in the near future links to cd availbility on all tracks will be added, along with artist info and links. A main aim will be to encourage legal purchase of soul tracks via various media. jump straight in at https://www.soul-source.co.uk/debas...e.php?genreid=1 or go via the front door intro page https://www.soul-source.co.uk/debaser/

Mike Posted December 18, 2005 Author Posted December 18, 2005 great work. i like that you included a google search on the track as well. the google bit linked in is a new service launched called google music not really any use on little known artists, but led me to some good info on likes of stoval sisters etc
Mike Posted December 18, 2005 Author Posted December 18, 2005 keep things flowing have moved tech posts to thread in site stuff forum here https://www.soul-source.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=22463 if have any tech issues/q's etc then please post there as well ta mike
Mike Posted December 20, 2005 Author Posted December 20, 2005 (edited) after a couple of testers anyone reading this ask could they assist in testing by uploading a couple of mp3s in to the members section tia mike https://www.soul-source.co.uk/debaser/ # Flash cannot play all types of mp3. The mp3 must be encoded with a constant bitrate (CBR not VBR), support the bitrates listed in the sound properties window and must have a sample rate of 44.1khz, 22.05khz or 11.025khz. Flash will either not play the mp3 or play the sound at incorrect speed and pitch if it is not in the required format. Edited December 20, 2005 by mike-
Guest James Trouble Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Mike, you're the man!!!!! Top work mate.
Guest James Trouble Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Would be great if it was easy to be able to post scans and information easily on each track. Maybe post tracks up ourselfs as well Mike. This really is a top feature, can't wait to see it it full swing!

This really is a top feature, can't wait to see it it full swing! can do the above at moment, though uploads need to be approved just been tying in the cd stuff - now if the clip is listed via a cd on amazon, yahoo or google audio sections, it displays details of cd and if on amazon can buy it via site ebay and gemm links been added, popsike links tidied up etc once thsi bit firm making the comments, uploads (both scans and clips ) a bit more user friendly, along with work on clips etc etc
