What is the most popular music search engine?

Choosing a database for a music search engine written in django

  • I'm working on a django project that allows people to search for music by title, artist, lyrics, contour, and more. I'm looking for a database, but the choices are maddening, here's what I'm looking for to help you get an idea of what I need. Must be fast to search. Records will mostly be added, not modified. so I'm not sure ACID compliance is that important. Some compression would be nice. Although I'm not sure how I'll store the structure of each song in the database, (And that decision will partly depend on recommendations.) I'm guessing a lot of disk space will be needed. Any recommendations, advice, and such greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

  • Answer:

    Postgres is the (django core developers) recommended database platform, and it should adequately serve your needs provided you set up indexes correctly and all that other databasey goodness. A search engine is what you should look to though. http://haystacksearch.org/ is a popular search engine for Django.

I would use MySQL as it's the most widely used database for django.

If you want a relational database I'd go with either MySQL or PosgreSQL, with PostgreSQL being a bit more complicated, but more powerful. If you want a NoSQL database I'd use MongoDB.

Any database will do. RDBMS vs. NoSQL? If NoSQL: goto MongoDB

you need to contact with a music sharing site and get the database information form them and add this with your search engine after than you can search mp3 on that site with the help of database.
