Music Site

This is a simple Rails 3 app for a web site for hosting music of a single artist. It uses jPlayer on the front end to provide an HTML5 music player with a Flash fallback, and aims to support all modern browsers including mobile devices. Music files can also be downloaded in either MP3 or OGG formats. Some HTML5 canvas graphics are animated while the music plays.

Configuration

To be able to use this the following files need to be configured:

• Create a config/database.yml file (you can copy config/database.yml.sample as a starting point)
• Create a config/initializers/site_config.rb file by copying config/initializers/site_config.rb.example and modifying for your site
• Create an admin user (using Devise for auth). I do this with the Rails console as described here.
• Once running, browse to /songs, and add new songs, uploading MP3 and OGG versions of your songs.

TODO

• Handle case when site_config.rb is not configured or some of the variables in it are not configured
• Easier way to initialize admin user
• Alternative layout for mobile devices.
• Test on more browsers
• More animations!
