Decibel Music Systems

These projects are a collection of frontend client sample applications which retrieve music metadata from the Decibel Music Systems API which I created. Unfortunately the API is now deprecated and the company has closed for business so they are non-functional and do not return any data. It would be possible to modify the source code to request music metadata from alternative APIs such as MusicBrainz or Discogs if anyone wanted to get them working again.

I have also included the API documentation HTML website which includes instructions on how to use the client applications.

Here are some screenshots of the project:

API Documentation Website

The source code folder API Documentation contains the documentation for the Decibel API. Open the index.html file and you will be able to browse the API methods and documentation and view code examples from the sample client application projects.
