About
This blog is for writing about song-list.net, and the technology used to build it. I’ve enjoyed lots of information people have posted online. Hopefully I can contribute a bit myself.
song-list.net is a side project (a distraction from) my main project which is expanding the capabilities of Real Book Listen (But that is a topic for another post).
The website was written using Ruby On Rails , MySQL and use of Amazon, Rhapsody (published), and Napster (unpublished) Webservices. Information from iTunes and eMusic was scraped.
There is data collected on about 3000 artists (up from 100 artists in December). The collection of data is automatic, but does require a human (my) involvement because the data is ‘dirty’. I am currently (as of June 2007) not collecting additional data for the time being. If your favorite artist is missing - drop me a line - I’d be happy to add him/her/them.
