This project is a web based project which is developed to share my music files and audio books in my home. In this way, I can always listen to my music files and audio books without needing to copy them to different devices. ( I have a Laptop, a PC, a Raspberry Pi 4 and a mobile set). I just upload my files to web server once and listen to them in different devices.
This project also supports different users and each user can have his/her own audio files.
Backend
- Backend is developed with Node.js and express library.
- to keep the track of music files and users and sessions, MySQL database is used.
- to support different users, session and mysql-session libraries are used.
- to upload files to server, formidable library is used.
Frontend
- Bootstrap library is used in frontend.
