Hi!
Jason asked me to drop you a line about the possible future of the CD
Index project. My hopes for this project were twofold:
1) Show companies like Escient that they cannot do this. I have no
doubt that this will be accomplished
2) Improve the infrastructure of the digital audio experience. That is
such a sweeping broad generalization, but I just care to make the
overall audio experience better.
With that said, I have no real interest in protecting my ego in this
project. It was a project to replace CDDB with KISS in mind -- that is
why there is no real protocol and the key computation is *really*
simple.
I've heard a ton of good suggestions today, and I would like to see the
project move towards things like XML and not using MySQL and so forth.
I believe (and at this point I don't think I have a choice) in survival
of the fittest -- may the best implementation win.
If you're interesting in coming on board at GoodNoise and want to work
on this, I have no problem with it. I've got other projects that I
really want to work on.
Like I said, I just care about the survival of this type of project. It
doesn't have to be my own.
Vague enough?
