Dawn of the Geeks

Indie-Mobile has been revamped yet again. I have such a huge collection of MIDI files that I’ve decided to organize them by the MD5 of the file contents. This does great for removing duplicate files and finding files which are the same but have a different file name. But, it doesn’t do well for browsing to find what you’re looking for. Since Free Ringtone Heaven takes the directory based approach I’ve decied to use the search based approach for Indie-Mobile. You can browse still but there are only three levels of directories and they are one character each. The search bar is on every page because that’s really how it’s designed to be used. Rather than trying to figure out my organization of all the files you can simply type the title or artist or whatever into the search and you’ll probably find it if I have it.

In the furture I’m planning to allow midi files to be uploaded and they’ll automatically be sorted and indexed. Right now there are 77,000+ MIDI files on Indie-Mobile. It’s still loading them all in so I’m not sure how many are copyrighted and/or unique. Typically only about 70% of the MIDI files end up being unique and downloadable.
