Title: PSR Performer Updates
Post by: Joe W on January 21, 2022, 08:58:52 PM
I have just completed reviewing and updating all the PSR Performer pages.  In an effort to simplify maintenance, I revised a number of web page filenames as well as folder names used to hold a performer's MP3 files.  In the process, I transferred many PSR Performer pages from the "Current" category to an "Archived Performers" category.  Performers adding music to their pages are in the "Current" category.  If no new songs are added after a couple of years, they move to the "Archived" category.

If a performer has a YouTube page or presence elsewhere on the web, a link is provided in the background information for the performer.  If any performer wants such a link added to their page, just let me know.  There is an indication that a performer has passed away on a number of pages.  If anyone spots other performers in the archive section who are no longer with us, do let me know.

I am in the process of making sure all the links in the alphabetical listings still work.  Once that is done, I need to consider whether it is worthwhile moving "retired" mp3 files from earlier archived performers and thus expanding the number of songs in the alphabetical lists. A number of performers have created original songs.  If I am aware it is an original, it is normally shown with a copyright symbol next to the title.  Should these be included with all the standard songs in the alphabetical list?  Or should I create a separate list of all the original songs by PSR Performers?

I think when the songs are all squared away, I'll take a look at where the lessons can be expanded.  The other project I am considering is creating some kind of database to understand, organize and sort all of those styles that are available.  So, I will have some projects to keep me busy this coming year.

Just a thought Joe with regard to your revisions..........do you get many Midifiles at this point?  Perhaps you could do away with that or just have a section for midis only.

Joe, working hard, as always, all for the benefit of us all. So grateful! For me it is OK to keep the original songs in alphabetical order, but do what is best. Must be more work to sort them out and put them in separate folder. I think PSR Tutorial has imspired a lot of us to come forward with our original songs. That is so good :)
