Jango Index : Searching all 2.5 million songs on Jango Radio

Earlier this year I was distraught to discover that certain obscure songs I wanted to hear again had mysteriously disappeared from Jango song search.

Then chroma virus lockdown happened and work became slow at the day job.

So I spent the next few months of nights and weekends building my own song search that searches Jango the way I want. It finds everything including the obscure stuff that mysteriously disappeared. I managed to duplicate the functionality of Jango song search while adding additional search methods Jango doesn't provide like reverse search of an audio file URL.

I wrote the whole thing in Bash and PHP using SQLite.

Searching 2.5 million songs presented a challenge which I was glad to meet.
