5Telemeta: web frontend to backup, analyse, transcode and stream any audio content and metadata

8Introduction
9============
10
11Telemeta is a web audio archiving program which introduces useful and secure methods to
12backup, index, transcode, analyse and publish any digitalized audio file with its metadata.
13It is dedicated to professionnals who wants to easily backup and publish documented sounds
14from collections of vinyls, magnetic tapes or audio CDs over a strong database,
15in accordance with open standards.
16
17Here are the main features of Telemeta:
18
19    * Secure archiving, editing and publishing of audio files over internet.
20    * "On the fly" transcoding and metadata encapsulating (FLAC, OGG, MP3, WAV, etc..)
21    * User friendly web frontend including workflows and high level search methods
22    * Smart dynamical and skinnable audio player (thanks to Timeside and soundmanager2)
23    * "On the fly" complex audio analyzers based on an easy plugin architecture
24    * Strong SQL backend
25    * XML metadata backup
26    * Auto audio-marking with synthetized voices reading metadata (optional)
27    * Anti-corruption data security management with par2 recovery keys
28    * Data synchronizing over remote servers (rsync + ssh methods)
29
30The Telemeta data model is based on 'collections' and 'items'. A collection is described
31by its metadata and includes original audio items (sounds) and its own metadata. This
32existing model has been designed to fit the one of the French Centre of Etnomusicology (CREM)
33but could be easily adapted/overrided to sue other data structures.
