SoundCloud

Published at: 19 June 2015

I've written a nice audio module for my website, it has ID3v1 integration, when I uploaded a song, it automatically read the ID3 data into the database through a cronjob. Still, I needed to upload an MP3 file as well as an OGG file, to make it work cross browser, I meant to make something for that too, so that I only needed to upload an MP3 file and an OGG file was automatically created. I never came to this point, not fully without considering the fact that first converting to MP3 and then converting the MP3 to OGG always means a loss of quality. I guess FFmpeg would have been the right tool to do this.

The client side part of the module was never fully operational either, you could click on a song to play it, but I wanted to embed a playlist and when you clicked a second song, it should have been automatically added to this playlist. Unfortunately this is a feature I never got to work, but you can visit my SoundCloud to do so. Leave me a like while you're at it!
