Alrighty, thanks.

I’d like to bump this feature request from a few years ago. I have some 3/4 music that I thought about trying to remix with a pella, but slogging through all the 4/4 pellas to try and find something to fit 3/4 is excruciating.

And to me, searchable meter is more important than key since, to a certain extent, key can be shifted, but meter can’t.

we are working on our goals for ccM for next year. this type of feedback is important to help us develop our roadmap on what to do next. until we’re able to add a field for time signature, we can at least encourage a culture of adding BPM to comments?

Comments in the description work too. In the meantime, I had been tagging my uploads as 34_time (for example) just to try and be consistent with the bpm tags that are automatically added.

So, out of curiosity, are there any web developers actively working on ccMixter features since Victor’s “retirement”? Do you need any help in that regard? I’m no web development guru but I’ve added features to a few web systems in my time.

CCHost is actually an award winning fully open source project, with a proper cvn system and ‘official’ developers, licensed under the Gnu 2.0 license (last I checked anyways.)

I’m sure you could study the code and suggest improvements. I’ve been studying it for a while: it is a pleasantly well-architected system based on php over zend.

It is actually entirely possible to get a copy of it running at home!

Ah nice. I guess I should’ve expected a site like ccM to run on open-source software. :P

So, is ccM just a plain-vanilla install of ccHost with no custom coding specific to ccM?

Also, there still needs to be someone that maintains the specific ccMixter instance of ccHost though, right? Someone that would update ccMixter when there’s a new ccHost release or whatever?

ccHost was actually specifically written for the purpose of causing CCMixter to exist. As such, you could say it would have to be other sites that migrate away from the main trunk code to support their needs, rather than an issue for CCMixter.

That said, I don’t actually know if there’s been any forking or not. By the look of the code, it doesn’t really look like it.

Hopefully fourstones himself can comment on that. :)

I see you got a real answer. I tend to go all idiot savant when geek stuff arises. ;-)

the geek stuff is the best stuff :D please always be yourself in this way!

hey clarence, go1dfish is overseeing all things tech on ccM and victor still helps us out more than ya’ll can see. :)

of course, assistance is always welcome! volunteering is one of the key elements of ccM that makes it work, and keeps it ad-free and free to musicians/listeners. drop me an email when you get a chance and we can explore this. many thanks for offering!
