-Recent Changes
- -I've made some more changes:
- --
-
-
- Removed the list of songs from the front page. There were getting to be just -too many songs listed to be helpful. Instead I now have a drop down list of -artists and songs as well as a search box. Select an artist or a song and then -select go to go to an artist page or a song page. Or search for a term. The search -will search for a word or phrase in the title, artist or in the song itself. The -search is not that bright but works fairly well. - -
- There's a new artist's page which shows you all of the artists songs in one -page. Many artists have only one or a few songs. Some artists have quite a few -songs. - -
- The song pages now are on auto play. If they have music assoicated with them -then their music will start playing automatically. -
Past Changes
- --
-
- Changed the home icon to something much bigger. Clicking on this gets you - back to the Songbook home page. - -
- Now if the song has an associated .mp3 file in the Media folder that - exactly matches the song's title then a little HTML5 MP3 player will - appear. You can play the song while you read the words and follow the - chords! Note: You can right click and save the song's mp3 file to - your computer. If the song does not have a corresponding .mp3 file then - no .mp3 player is displayed. For example, Amie. - -
- Again, if the song has a corresponding .mp3 file I now re-write the .pro - file to include {musicpath:/sdcard/SongBook/Medai/<title>.mp3}. - This string "links" the ChordPro file with music such that (in SongBook, the - app I use on my Android Tablet) you can play the song's mp3 file on your - tablet! I'm not sure if OnSong (the iPad equivalent of SongBook) does the same - thing. If you sign up for sharing my songbook via DropBox (send me email if - you want an invite) you should be all set. -
Note: Currently my code is very picky. The file name for the .pro file -and the .mp3 file must match exactly - is case sensitive, etc. If you -have access to my songbook in DropBox and wish to add a .pro file and it's -corresponding .mp3 file then be sure to match the names up correctly and put the -.mp3 file in the Media folder.
- -Future Changes
- -Here are some of the things I'm thinking of implementing:
- --
-
I'm thinking of re-vamping the main page. Instead of listing all the - songs, which are getting to be a bit much, I would like to possibly make a - little search facility that would scan the .pro files for text matching in the - song titles and lyrics themselves.
-
- - Another change I'm thinking of making is making it so that when you hover - over a chord a little popup happens that shows the chord's fingering. Sorta - like it's done over on tabs-ulitimate-guitar.com (For example: - here). - Anybody know how to do that? - -
- Maybe a simple editor so people can edit songs directly. - -
- Maybe interfacing with Dropbox to display information about the last - person to update the songfile... -
