Hi all, I wrote a CGI script that mimics a subset of the PMM user interface. It uses the *.db files found on the PHTDTA partition as its database. Check it out:
http://www.amb.org/cgi-bin/myphat.cgi
You can browse by genre, artist or album, and can sort the track list by album, artist, title, genre or track number. Clicking on a track's artist, album or title will trigger a CDDB search related to the item.
Since I have close to 5000 tracks on my DMS (and growing) it represents a fairly substantial amount of data, so it will take a moment to load. Dialup users beware!
Please be kind to my web server and have fun! :D

Hi Amp.
What a great script ! Is it possible to get the script ?
May be your next step for the script is to play songs and to build playlists via web and play them !....
This is what I look for.

Interesting. I took a somewhat different approach as I had all the music on a computer before I got a PhatBox - so I have a web interface to the raw files (at http://www.tmk.com/media/searcher.html). I generate my DMS playlists from this data. For more info on the system, look at http://www.tmk.com/media.
I'll be adding genre support and per-user selections to this (Amanda and I both populate our PhatBoxes from this server, but with somewhat different selections).

Yes, PM me and I'll provide download info.

Should be do-able. I don't want RMAA's lawyers knocking on my door, so my publically-accessible version won't play music, but maybe I will do a version for my own use that could.
Hi all, with thanks to sbinger, this CGI script is now up and available for download here:
http://downloads.phathack.com/amb/
The file name is myphat-1.0.tar.gz which is a tarball format bundle of the script, support files and a README file on how to install and use it. The same bundle is also available there in ZIP format: myphat-1.0.zip You need a computer running a web server (such as Apache) and Perl interpreter.
I also added my phatsort script (phatsort.sh-1.0.2.tar.gz) in tarball format to the same location for downloads. This is a shell script for Linux which re-sorts the DMS database and re-generates the index files to arrange the tracks in a more sensible manner when browsing on your radio in "album" mode.
Fron now on this will be the location for future updates of these scripts, and any other phatnoise-related software that I might whip-up.
Have fun.
Just uploaded a new version "myphat-1.0.1" which contains a small fix for the Safari and Konqueror browsers.

Version 1.1 of myphat.cgi is now out for download:

This version fixes a problem with track list sorting, and adds a "search" text field.
