MusicLab is a desktop application built with C# .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid, designed to help music producers organize, manage, and access their audio files on Windows.

Currently Working:

• Local & Cloud Storage: Store your audio files both locally on your Windows machine and on cloud storage.
• Metadata Editing: Edit metadata for your audio files. Metadata is stored:
  • Locally as JSON files.
  • On the server database when published.
• Genre-Based Sorting: Organize and sort your audio files by genre for easy Browse within the application.
• Audio Streaming (Published Files): Stream your published audio files directly from the server without needing to download them.

This project is a Windows desktop application and is under active development. Stay tuned for future updates and features!

Backend

• simplehttp: was the initial backend written in a console app using HttpListner class, mostly for learning and understanding. Then ASP.NET was adopted then I switched to ASP.NET for scalability.
• HttpServer: is the active backend for the application that handles authentication, authorization, jwt token generation and validation. File proccessing from the client and streaming back to the client through REST apis

In the project, there is a

• manual singleton – as per the requirements from my teacher – in both PlaylistService and PlaylistServiceFromRepository.
• For AuthService and BeatsService, I use .NET's built-in singleton via dependency injection along with abstraction through interfaces.

The repository pattern is used to handle CRUD operations.

• In the version of PlaylistService based on this pattern, all logic is contained in PlaylistServiceFromRepository.
• I also have a ready repository for BeatsService, but it is not in use yet because I want to ensure that it doesn’t affect the app's functionality or introduce new bugs. For Beats, I've also split the repositories: one fetches data from the server and another from the local file system.
