Discuss what advantages such a system has over conventional methods of organizing and previewing music?

The advantage of using a system to organize and preiview music is very useful. This is because it makes it easier to find music, preview music in an organized format and the use of queries help search for a song.

Databases are easy to use when looking for music because all we have to do is run a query and put down what we are searching for. This helps us find exactly what we are looking for and we can view records where we can preview music before buying and to look for music we want. Also they can listen to other songs that share the same genre without having the search it up on Google when they can search it up on a database specially made for music previewing.

Databases are easy to use when look for music is it easy to look for one because its all found in one database made especially for music previewing and to find something we start a query (search). This is an advantage because we can preview music before we buy it.

Fields in a database make a database organized because it makes it easier to categories information (example artist, songs, albums etc) when running a query (search) it can easily look for information according to which field it is searching under.
Also with my database I have a ‘help’ button for those who do not know how to use my database which makes it easier and when using it in the future they know how to use it and will be quicker. A database can also look neat and interesting and at the same time you can quickly search more music.It’s much easier to listen to music on a database than having to get out the CD and playing it, when you can just search it up and play it. And you can check on songs before purchasing it incase you change your mind about it.

What ethical / legal issues need to be considered when implementing this database?

A Legal issue that needs to be considered when using this database is copyright. Copyright is an original work. When using works that are copyrighted means that they need to be given credit.

This is a legal issue that needs to be considered when using a database because Databases involve collecting information/data from different places. This information/data that we are collecting are not of our own work and we need to give credit to those sources. For our music database we are collecting pictures, music and information.

Images on my music database are not of my own work because the album cover or pictures are not of my own creation. This means that these images own to someone and mean that we have to give credit on where we got the image from. The images I used for the layout are not of my own creation so we need to give credit for using it or it is called ‘stealing’ because we are acting as if it is our own when its not.

Music used on my music database is not my own and is by the artist who sang and created the song. This means that the song needs to have who sang the song in a way of giving credit to the artist who created the song and not us or it will result into us using there music without credit. Also usually if we are borrowing music from an artist we are not to use the full length of the song due to ‘music piracy’ and we are to purchase the CD or pay to download music and the only way we can listen to music for free online is by the artist permission (sometimes artist on ‘myspace’ let viewers listen to the full song or sometimes just a demo)

Information on a database is very important because we are using information that is from sources that include websites, books, videos etc. We need to consider this because it is by someone else and not of our own work.

Privacy is information is private to a person, Meaning information by someone that is private. It is personal information that someone may or may not let anyone use.

On my Database it includes pictures, music and information that was of someone else’s work and I have including a ‘credits’ form to give credit to the places I got my information/data from due to copyright laws.

this unit i find is very hard
toook me awhile to figure out what to do

but after doing all the work i got to hang of it
and i've done alot of work on my database
we haven't been shown the finish product of a database
so im a little confused on how its suppose to turn out

so far i have created a switchboard
here i can easily add more music, edit more and go to the mainmenu

the mainmenu is where where the people can view songs
i create a 'quick search' for the people who just want to find the song/artist/album
theres also a record think
where u can listen to some songs
look at artist and genres
album covers

i also added some images to make is attractive
and know its a database for music

now i need to do the theory -.-
