Coollector for Music CDs

[KnoWei]

Hi (Cool)Hector,

I recall reading elsewhere in the forum about a future Coollector "Encyclopedia" for music CDs. Is that still on the roadmap?

I was thinking about how big that would have to be and how it would work. There must be several million song titles in such a database (e.g. CDDB). Will Metakit scale to that level?

BTW I like the new taxonomy of calling Coollector an "Encyclopedia" of movies. That's an easy way to grasp what you get when you first start out. Good idea.

Regards,

Of course it's still on the roadmap, because it's a logical move to extend our concept to other fields than movies. But the music encyclopedia is very very far down the road. I don't think it will happen until at least 2 years.

Finger in the nose !

Yes, when I've realized that for quite some time Coollector would be movies only, I thought "Coollector Movie Database" would be a much better name. If one day Coollector does music, books, games, etc... it'll be time to go back to just "Coollector".

Currently, our roadmap looks something like that:

create a documentaries database
create a music videos database
create an adult movies database

(notice that up to here, the name "Coollector Movie database" still applies)

create a books database
create a games database
create a music database (the music videos database will be merged into it)

Oh yes, I forgot... Music will be split in 2 databases, as "classic music" will be a separate database.

Thanks for the detailed update and background on order of implementation. Makes sense.

I had to look this up (English to French and back to American). I'll interpret it as "Piece of Cake!".

Yes, piece of cake, that's what I meant
