headstone: ((dune) irulan)

Hi! First time long time.

I'm working on a personal fanworks archive site, and I'd like a section to be devoted to fanmixes, with audio files (that I own locally & would make available to the web server) embedded in a playlist format.

My understanding is that base HTML has fairly robust audio embedding/playing capabilities of its own, but I want to get a sense for whether there are other tools worth looking into, whether because they make for a better music playing experience, easier administration, etc.

I'm interested in any templates, tools, special-purpose themes for a SSG, or just plain tips & tricks that might be relevant for this purpose. Thanks!

Hey does anybody know stuff about audio track metadata?

I've had an idea rattling around in my head for a while but didn't have an easy and community-based way to organize my thoughts about it. So I am really pleased to see a DW fan coding community pop up! I not only welcome but plead for input on this concept:

I want to build a way to create custom tags on music files.

You know how you can sort by artist, album, year published, and all that, because those are categories embedded in ID3 metadata? I wish ID3 metadata allowed for custom categories. I want to be able to sort my music collection by color, mood, character, and fanfiction trope, to name a few. I think this has huge potential in being able to easily make playlists, fandom or otherwise, that flow smoothly and center around a common theme.

More details below the cut-- come chat with me! )
