Hi Andy

>Can you get the Guinness Book on CD?

Not that I'm aware of.

>Your search engine seems pretty sophisticated..... which would be
interesting to take a butchers at...

Access 97 Database, Bunch of ASP's and some clever SQL statements. I will
probably document the Schema of the database if time permits. I just hope
the copyright people from Wurlitzer dont see it....It's not image theft
honest guv.....Its a shrine to the Mighty Wurlitzer :-)

The power comes from having TOTAL CONTROL of the data being input to ensure
that the searches work as intended. Its a fair amount of effort, about 1
minute per track, but I think it is worth it.

Ideal platform would be Windows 2000 Server, IIS5, SQL2000 but that limits
appeal and increases the hardware requirement. At the moment all data entry
is done via my laptop so that I can enter data wherever and whenever I
want.
I copy everything onto my Jukebox machine for the "proper"
jukebox with all
the tracks on it.

Laptop is P133 48meg, 2Gig Win98SE, PWS, 10baseT
Jukebox is K6-2-400 256meg 13.5Gig + 2.5Gig, Win98SE, PWS, 100baseT

PWS suffers from a connection limit so some images dont always appear but
once cached its usualy fine. The fact that it runs on "free"
sorftware ie
PWS/*.mdb vs IIS/SQLServer means anyone can run it on almost any PC.
