mattal999 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Well, you have 2 options. Get a web crawler and adapt it to your needs (Trust me. Not a good idea.). Or Write one yourself. (This is what I did). If you would like to see what the outcome of my own self-coded MP3 crawler, go here. The crawler consists of 4 scripts running from cron.

mattal999 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 and by the way , on you website , you dont have enough music ^^ try to upgrade ur crawler or something Lol, I only coded it like a week ago, and have been making tweaks as it goes along. It currently crawls at about 500 MP3s an hour, give or take 100. I have had some problems with hosting, so I only actually have it running like an hour a day. Plus I havent integrated the cron yet, I have to run it in the browser on a meta refresh :-\ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/165081-mp3-api-help/#findComment-870511 Share on other sites More sharing options...
