Hi,
having inspected one of the files found at music.ibiblio.org, I realized that the
comments are quite poor or misformatted in the files.
I'm telling you, because:
1) I think it's great to have some free music
2) I think the performers deserve to be recognized
Generally, I'd put as much as possible into the Vorbis comments. Then you could
skip creating these index.html manually: Instead use some script that extracts the
comments from the files you already have. users might share the files, but
unlikely they'll share the index.html ;-)
Example of what I found for "06Poglietti_Hens_and_Cocks.ogg":
title=Revival Harpsichord Artist=Sylvia Kind plays Baroque Music Album=UWP2002
For comparison, here's what I have in one of my "home-tagged" files (OK, everybody
considers me insane, but anyhow). "-nospam" added to EMail address because of
stupid guys around:
ALBUM=Odyssey
