Show HN: Scraping 2.5 million songs metadata from Jango Radio

5 pointsby ZinZirconiumalmost 5 years ago
Jango. It&#x27;s a music streaming service. No it&#x27;s not Spotify. Yes I know you&#x27;ve never heard of Jango.<p>So I spent the past few months scraping metadata for every song on Jango Radio and put it in a database and made it searchable. I built a search tool which includes the kind of features that only a nerd would want like search by ID and search by URL.<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jango-index.ml&#x2F;<p>I used Bash and Btrfs for the backend scraper. I used PHP and SQLite for the frontend search.<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jango-index.ml&#x2F;src&#x2F;<p>I&#x27;m not interested in monetizing what I did. I wouldn&#x27;t be interested in a marketing campaign to raise the notoriety of Jango Radio to the point that you would notice it exists either.<p>I&#x27;m aware that my project looks like crap to web design obsessed marketing posers who pretend to code.<p>I happen to enjoy coding and I did a coding project. I know coding is an intrinsically valueless endeavor. I did it anyway.
