or is there some open source app that does most of this and can be customised?
The closest open source app I had seen to this was Gnump3d, though it seems easier to re-write something using Django than customizing this
this was some time ago though, maybe better things exist now.
as I mentioned managing the archive with django would be a few days work only. It is the technical part of playing the music that I am asking about.
Having the app in the browser should be fine - use <audio /> tag to play the songs .. as I mentioned before, mp3 will not work in Firefox with <audio /> tag. So if you want to support Firefox, you will either have to re-encode all audio to Ogg Vorbis (or wav), or use flash. (this is, if you want it to be browser-based at all.)
If you write the django back-end to manage the audio and need any help on the front-end if its browser-based, am happy to help.
All the best, Sanjay
