Record-Crate

index, organize, and search your music collection, DJ sick sets.

How it works

record-crate crawls your music-folder, extracts the id3v2 tags from your music files, and creates an ElasticSearch index of your music.

record-crate's web-interface lets you search, and add additional tags to your music collection.

Currently, the record-crate server running by default on port 5000, serves as an API for the frontend (which runs via grunt by default on port 9000).

Setting Up

1. install ElasticSearch:
   • on OSX, brew install elasticsearch.
   • on Ubuntu, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-on-an-ubuntu-vps
2. install record-crate npm install record-crate -g.
   • if it asks for sudo, read this post: http://howtonode.org/introduction-to-npm
3. start the webserver: record-crate start.

Or,

You can also install record-crate as an os-service-wrapper:

1. install ElasticSearch brew install elasticsearch.
2. install record-crate npm install record-crate -g.
3. install the service record-crate install.
4. start the service record-crate start-service.

this has the advantage of storing your configuration settings for you.

• I'm not a designer, would love to get some help making things look better.
• I was specifically trying to solve a problem I have, finding music based on bpm. Would love to hear what features other people are looking for.
