Frameworks: .Net Framework 2

Architecture: DJ-DesktopDiagram

About:
The purpose of this project is to develop a commercial product to be sold to DJ and KJ professionals. It is important to note that the software will not store actual music files. Its purpose is to be a database of the meta data (artist, tracks, titles, etc.) so this information can be used to manage music events. So just the meta data for the music is stored. Meta data related to commercial (store bought) compact discs will come from FreeDB.org, which provides a free service and API. But karaoke discs have no FreeDB type service, so we are going to create our own basic service. Since most computers CD and DVD players do not read karaoke discs, users will manually enter search criteria, which will be sent to our web database. We will return the results of the search, allowing this meta data to be downloaded and stored in the user database (MS Access).
