![]() We are planning on approaching small local businesses with our idea for QUAVER to help them advertise their website as unique as well as promote the workings of their business with music. ![]() Our next step will be to implement a cloud server for QUAVER to store audio files to be retrieved by the application. My teammate learned how to use functions of ‘tkinter’ and ‘pygame’ modules side by side to efficiently build the functionality required by QUAVER and also access local files with the ‘filedialog’ function. With the ‘requests’ module of Python, I retrieved data from URLs and wrote this data onto a binary file, added a ‘.mp3’ extension and stored this data as an audio file on the local device on which QUAVER's code was being executed. What we learnedĪs a back-end developer, I (Shreya LN) improved my understanding of http requests. We quickly understood how to execute SQL queries from within a Python program and came up with creative ways to use our database to store the audio files. We believe our biggest accomplishment is growing as a team and being receptive to each other’s ideas with an open mind. We bounced ideas off of each other and used our diverse perspectives to create QUAVER. ![]() Despite various small setbacks like this along the way, we found the process of creating something from scratch to be truly rewarding. We encountered a few problems while interfacing Python with MySQL as we had to manually install a few modules which were necessary for this task. We split the tasks efficiently and communicated with each other at all times to ensure the application was built in time. We needed to judiciously manage our time as we have our exams coming up in a week. The database also stores the link to the audio file on the internet (we are planning to implement a cloud server to store these URLs/files) Challenges we ran into MySQL with Python interface (connectivity) was used to implement the database that stores the song details such as song name, album name, artist, duration, and genre. The tkinter and pygame modules were used to code the song playing functionalities and the user interface. We mainly made use of Python and MySQL to build QUAVER. For now, the songs are being downloaded from the internet as a whole. It is also possible to upload any audio file from your local device onto QUAVER, in addition to those files which will be downloaded from a cloud server (yet to be implemented). The QUAVER application has functionalities of playing, pausing, skipping, forwarding, and stopping any song. QUAVER makes use of http requests to retrieve audio files from the internet, download them onto the user's local device, and allow them to play whichever song they like while they are on the website that has integrated QUAVER. This would promote the website’s message and aid in advertising as well. If websites or applications promoting something that aligns with social welfare were to integrate QUAVER into their websites, we believe it would make the users increase the time they spend on that website. ![]() As a self-taught vocalist, guitarist, pianist, and violinist, I (Shreya LN) have witnessed the power of music to connect with people from all walks of life. ![]()
