Gray's blog

I’ll keep this post short and straight to the point, it just seems like this idea should have followed suit right after streaming media became a common feature in HTTP Servers (e.g. lighthttpd).

With the standard format for online music being MP3 files, and the versatile format of streaming MP3’s (can be played while downloading), I see no reason why we shouldn’t be able to add some minimal support for these files in the web server.

It seems like a good idea to me to build an apache module in for MP3 metadata. It could be configured / disabled & enabled via the apache.conf file, preferably something that works with ID3 and HTTP headers. Which is why I propose the x-id3 header standard.

It should be simple enough, basically parsed Mp3 metadata in the Id3 format, passed in the HTTP headers in the following format:

Just like every other HTTP header, I don’t know. Seems pretty basic and overlooked to me. I’d like to hear your thoughts though, so leave a comment with your opinion / ideas.

Howdy,

Man it’s been a while since I posted, so much on my plate and not a ton to post about. And the whole ‘not having time’ thing. Since I last posted we made it to 2010. Hell yea!

In my last year of blogging, looking back I did some pretty stupid stuff. Especially as far as my code went. Yikes.. But, although a bit late, this year I will actually set some solid new years goals that I can hopefully meet.

1. By midyear, I hope to have a consistent revenue stream from online worth monthly. i.e. earning $xxxx a month. Would be nice to have a steady income stream.
2. Be more successful with managing money.
3. Post more on my blog in 2010, blog neglect must end!

Hopefully I’ll be able to stick to these ones, it shouldn’t be *too* hard.  Also, hopefully I should be back into the posting routinely scenario next week.. Maybe..
