Introduction

Exordium is a read-only web-based music library system for Django. Exordium will read mp3 and ogg files from the host filesystem and provide an online interface to browse, download (as zipfiles or otherwise), and stream.

The HTML5 media player jPlayer is used to provide arbitrary streaming of music.

Exordium was built with a very specific set of operational goals and does not attempt to be a generic library suitable for widespread use. There are, in fact, no configuration options beyond those to define the file paths/URLs necessary for basic usage. Patches to add/change functionality will be happily received so long as they don't interfere with or disable the current functionality by default, but there is no internal development goal to make Exordium a generic solution.
