Server • Hold’s MP3+G files in one location instead of storing on the Iphone. • Quick and easy access to songs without having to buy each one separately or finding them elsewhere.
Developing Environment • 2 PC’s with Mac OS X 10.6 on them. • We will be coding for the Iphone using objective-c on the Iphone SDK. • Using Apache to host server located on Dave’s second PC. • We will be coding a SQLite database to organize the music stored on the server.
User Environment • The user will be using an Iphone using OS 3.1.3 • Browse by album, by genre, or alphabetically. • Search through the SQLite database • Play MP3+G with the option to fast forward and volume control. • Television or projector connection will be plug and play.
