Hi,
I'd like to create a database, listing all my mp3's. Up to there, that's not really difficult. In fact, I even have one that I did with MS Access (from Office 97) a long time ago.
I'd like to see some fields in this database : Artist, Song Title, Genre and Rating. The Genre would be "rock/electro/...", and the Rating would be a number from 0 to 10, illustrating if I like this song or not. Up to there, even my sister could do it (with a lot of time lol)
But I'd like to use this database to choose mp3's. There would be a little prog using this database, which could access it and choose songs, based on some input like "genre" or "minimal rating". If you don't see the utility of such an app, think that I have thousands of mp3 and I'm tired of zapping until I find a good song, then enjoy it for 3min, then zap again...
So the goal would be to be able to run this little prog, specify for example "rock" and a minimal rating of "5", and it would play only songs corresponding to these criteria.
I'm really not a programmer so I don't know anything (or then very a little) about databases and programming languages. So, before updating my database, I'd like to know : what would you use to do this ? (for the database, and the language for the little prog). And do you think I could start from the old database I made with Access under win (maybe in exporting it in another format...) ?
Thanx a lot for any help.
