Hello,

I am in the process of trying to get an mp3/m4a and other types of media sharing and media playlist online similar to http://www.anywhere.fm/player   I wanted to do this with DNN.

The major problem is that I cannot figure out how to get the music shared/uploaded/into a playlist for the user to make. I have the DNN site up on Winserver 2008

 

is there a cool module out there that I am unaware of? Could anyone suggest something please.

 

Thanks

Joseph

Well, after visiting their site, I don't know of any such module available in DNN.  However, it did strike me as something that would be a very troublesome module to 'own' and distribute for others to use.  I know a lot of media is undergoing changes in their 'rights' usage, but looking at 'anywhere.fm' and their usage agreement makes me dizzy.  Basically, you agree to use their service for streaming your fully licenced material, and allow them a 'sublicense' to do whatever they want, and you as the owner of that material take full responsibility for any liability for its' use. (Section 8.) And you agree to this not only in our world, but 'throughout the universe' (section 8.3). I don't have my intergalactic law concordance with me, left it my vortal transport, but I do think Rigel 9 strictly prohibits this type of agreement, and the Denubian system successfully prosecuted a Korsi corporate conglomorate that used their streamed content in this manner.

I wouldn't touch their service or use it in any way.  What does it do for you that you can't do with your iPod or other similar media player?  Don't see the point.  Then, again, that's not your question is it. 

Sorry for the intrusion, just sharing my views...

Cheers, and happy streaming

Hello iWonder,

No intrusion whatsoever I kind of agree with you about what it can do that your iPod can't?

Well I wanted to get my library online and share music with my friends. I am actually doing that now via VPN for me. The probelm is trying to get someone to understand how to use FTP to upload to me (this can be a b**ch). There are upload modules for DNN however I would run into the problem of people putting it in the wrong folder. I have 133K mp3/wma files that I bought via CD second hand stores( and first hand) over the years. When I am coffee shops or remote locations I can hear my ibrary and not deal with an ipod or any other device carried along with me.Just my Laptop.

If there is a way aroud this then I am all for it.

 

Thanks for the input

Joseph

Bit of problem, sharing files with others, too many folks trying to convict the common man of copyright infringement.  I came from the era when we could share our music using reel-to-reel tape or cassettes, and for some reason 8-track tape.  Gone are those days, eh.  Now, Scott Schecter created a module that might give you something along the lines of what you could use, NukeSyndicate, haven't actually tried it myself but look at it.

Now, 133K mp3/wma files doesn't seem like a lot to store on your laptop, in fact, isn't that an option when you convert them for use with an ipod?  Seems like that what my kids do.  They can use their laptops or ipods.  As for sharing with others, well, that's a whole 'nother' thing isn't it?

Try NukeSyndicate to see if it can get it done for you.

Cheers

Hello iWonder,

Thanks for the tip.

You don't feel that 133,000 is a lot? or needs room for expansion when I am having others upload files to me? hmmm? As I can detect, by your tone you don't like my idea. That's fine.... I am not exactly that young either my fellow dinosaur. Tapes and cassettes and reel-to-reels, 8-tracks are not mystic operations to me. I do not care for an ipod, too many restrictions. However thanks for the tip.

Here is my tip:

Don't condescend other people that you have no idea who is on the other end. That was a hard lesson for me too. <wink>
