New project suggestion

Hi all,

I have been thinking of this for quite sometime. When we want to record some songs or search for a particular reason on a particular combination, we always post in newtfmpage or other forums and try to get the list. After few months the link goes into archive and a newcomer again posts the same query etc.,
The project would help as information databse as well as for recording in cassettes.

How about creating(or compiling) through the joint efforts of TFM forum members to list all the songs in all the movies (as far as we all remember) with Singer(s),MDs,Lyricists,Movie Directors info.(I know this is available in newtfmpage-ppp section and Kumar Venkat's page but you can get the songs only on movie name/song first letter basis). What I am suggesting is it should be possible to search the database and list the songs based on different combinations. The PPP and Kumar V lyrics page can be used as base-database and only query programs need to be developed. For e.g If I want to record songs of KJYesudas in IR or say SPB+SJ in IR's music or UnniK's songs in ARR or SPB's songs in Maniratnam's movies or Sjanaki songs with Vairamuthu lyrics etc., Hope you are getting the idea. The query output (with inputs as singers or movie names or dire.names or MD names or Lyricist names) should list the songs.. Now having the link to lyrics/real audio of those songs in the query output could be thought of in Phase-2.
I know it would involve lot of effort but I think it is possible with help from all TFM forum members...
Please share your idea about this and possibility. If this is already being started please do let me know. Thanks

  Vimal,
  Its a good idea.
  Everybody can list the songs in their collection and finally somebody can convert it into a database.
  What are the details that shouls be included with each song?
  and the other parameters.

  Hi friends,
  thanks for the response. Basically, IMHO the following info should be available for end user to select the options
  1.Movie name 2. Male singer(should be able to select atleast 2 (buttons?) 3.Female singer (atleast 2) 4.Chorus(Y/N) 5. Lyricist 6. Music Director 7. Movie Director 8.Year of release of movie
  
  So any one planning to list the songs,please wait. Let us wait for few more opinions. May be a new page can be created exclusively for this and then linked to tfm forum page.
  Please post your opinions. thanks
  In the meanwhile check a model database at

  nice idea, but the table looks really big with those information.(i mean the no of columns).

  that was just a model database. If you try searching in that database for say 'kamal' it will list all the songs of Kamal out of the 5 existing there.
  The purpose is to enlarge the search combinations.
  Anyway a better way of doing it is always welcome. Ultimately we should be able to create a large database of songs with various ways of getting the combination query output
  
  thanks
