harddrive-party is a peer-to-peer media file metadata database and file-sharing program. Peers can extract information about their media files and replicate this data with other peers, to build a searchable distributed database of all known files.
This module contains the core functionality - the distributed index and file transfer.
harddrive-party- The top-level module. Provides an HTTP API, and a limited command-line clientmetadb-uia web front end using choometadata-extract- pulls metadata from media files
