Show HN: Scraping 2.5 million songs metadata from Jango Radio Jango. It's a music streaming service. No it's not Spotify. Yes I know you've never heard of Jango. 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. https://jango-index.ml/ I used Bash and Btrfs for the backend scraper. I used PHP and SQLite for the frontend search. https://ift.tt/2Xhatvo I'm not interested in monetizing what I did. I wouldn't be interested in a marketing campaign to raise the notoriety of Jango Radio to the point that you would notice it exists either. I'm aware that my project looks like crap to web design obsessed marketing posers who pretend to code. I happen to enjoy coding and I did a coding project. I know coding is an intrinsically valueless endeavor. I did it anyway. August 13, 2020 at 04:10AM
