A new version of Medi is online. Now it displays different icons on different file types (I think I need to put more icons and mappings...). Now it uses only one connection to the DB to work.
Medi is a Java application useful to manage files in your CDs, floppies, etc. It can parse MP3 files, cataloguing them by author, genre and data, and can display (preview) some picture types. It uses a database (currently supported DBs are MySQL, Firebird and PostgreSQL) to store the data.

A new version of Medi is online! It's internal structure has been modified to accomodate a new pseudo-server: MediX (PHP based). Some bug fixing. Notice that you have to use MediX for research purposes only. Download only the main package if you don't need it.

The new version of Medi, 0.2.2, is online with an installer. Now you can install the program with a nice GUI, thanks to VAInstall (http://vainstall.sourceforge.net). Installation with Firebird is easier: now you don't have to create the user or the database file (Linux and Windows 9x, other Windows systems are untested).

A new version of Medi is online. It contains several GUI-related bug fixing (enormous trees and combo boxes...), and a better panel-loading: now panels are loaded only if they are requested at least one time. Major changes have been made to the internal structure, creating several subpackages for rationalization.

The new version 0.1.90 of Medi is online.
It has got a new faster (parallel) GUI, now you can browse trees while requesting a details page.
It is a pre-release to 0.2.0 version, in which the GUI will be completely multi-threading. Anyway 0.1.90 is better than 0.1.3!

Medi release 0.1.2 is online. It is now turned into alpha stage because I think it is time to test it.
If you want to help go here:
http://medi.sourceforge.net/alpha-test.html
Docs are available too.

Only (!) added PostgreSQL support. It has some bugs, but I swear that it's not my fault. Special characters are handled incorrectly so use it at your own risk.
Also documentation has been updated.

Medi's release 0.1.1 is online and ready to be downloaded. Added Firebird support! Now Medi supports MySQL and Firebird.

The second pre-release is online! Major improvements (such as MP3 ID3 tag use in getting authors, titles, genres and albums and opening files) and bug busting.

There it goes, the website.

Bye!

I have added the complete documentation (javadoc, database documentation and project docs).
I have also updated the pre-release packages, that now contain comments to generate javadoc.

This pre-release works with MySQL and mm.mysql JDBC driver only. There is still no documentation, it will be posted very soon.
