	PlayMeLoud PlayMeLoud is an mp3 download website where music from the dutch music scene is presented in a unique and enjoyable manner. The owners, two friends who are also dutch musicians, started out with PlayMeLoud as a hobby and began making web pages. Each of the then 180 counting mp3's had its own html page. With the growth of the list it became increasingly harder to maintain it all. Making an update sometimes became a considerable job spread out over 180 pages. A new improved website was needed in which a couple of things would be automated. Now the website is database driven, with inside already over 500 mp3 songs, of which many of the related interesting facts are stored in separate tables, which include genres, band names and band members. Relations are the stored between each song and genre, band names and band members who can be member of the band or be a featuring guest, and possibly be also a member of more bands. These and more relational links are visible while listening to each song, and enables the visitor to surf through the network of layed out relations. And if a song is being surfed into that meets the visitors taste, it is easy to just pay by phone followed up by a download.
