Possiblity for local artist info base?
« on: March 16, 2005, 11:40:20 am »

In the playing mode it is possibly to get artist info from a database on internet, it works OK, but a lot of artists is not there, and therefor I want a possiblity to get artist info from my local database to.

Is it possibly now by any settings, or is it possibly for someone to make a plug in for MC10 to do this?

Please tell me more about it.
Yes I think it's artist bios I mean.  This languageproblems!!!!!!
In MC10 there are an Icon downside "Playing mode" named Artist info, and there it is an link to a database named All Music.

I want to get the same type of data from my own database, with name and bios for local artists not listed in "All Music"

When KingSparta says bios, he means bio's or biographies (life stories of people).

bios not equal BIOS (Basic Input Output System)

what format is the Database in?

and if you will send it to me i will take a look at it.

my program is very basic it reads text files like

beatles.txt

this way anyone can create a Artist Bios and just put it in the bios folder, and it will post it to all files in this case for "Beatles".

It seems just as what I look for.
My database is not arrangeed for use that way yet.
I only have arranged one-line text for using in the comment colomn, and this is not good enough. For many artists I have got the hole biography, and can only read one line as comments.

I can set up the base as text-files, it's OK, but there are thousands of artists.

How wil the biography come up in the MC?   Does is change picture to an textpage, or what?  like a websithe I think.
I think you have made what I look for, but I don't know this, so I have to ask a lot.
