1.0 INTRODUCTION:

The application shall allow the user to lawfully and freely distribute music over the internet. For each song the user should be charged a fee which is agreed between the client and the provider. Once the fee is paid the music is distributed to him/her. From here onwards the user can they distributed the music using their own personal hardware or software. The application should inform the user which devices are connected to the system at any one time. The system should allow the distribution of music to external devices as well as to other systems by providing networking capability. The application will finally incorporate advanced searching and sorting facilities, making it easier for the user to organize their music collection. Recently, media files have become popular in this generation. Most of the software companies develop so many types of player which support media files (e.g. Winamp, Window Media Player, Real, Real One, etc). But there is not all of the software which are suitable for all different users. This player is basically a facility for music lovers to control playback of media files.It can work as a standalone mp3-player on system. This media player also has an inbuilt ID3 tag editor.

1.6 TECHNOLOGIES TO BE USED:

ASP.NET ASP.NET is a framework for building web sites and web applications. It supports three approaches to build web sites: Web Pages, Web Forms & MVCASP.NET Web Pages and the new Razor syntax provide a fast and lightweight way to combine server code with HTML to create dynamic web content. You can connect to databases, add video and graphics include social networking and add many more features using the latest web standards. With ASP.NET Web Forms you use drag-and-drop design to build dynamic event-driven websites. ASP.NET is a Microsoft Technology. ASP stands for Active Server Pages. ASP.NET is a program that runs inside IIS. IIS (Internet Information Services) is Microsoft's Internet server. IIS comes as a free component with Windows servers. IIS is also a part of Windows 2000 and XP Professional.

Web server-Internet Information Services (IIS) or the built-in ASP.NET Development Server for testing and running Web sites. The ASP.NET Development Server, which is included with Visual Web Developer, is a Web server that runs locally on Windows operating systems, including Windows XP Home Edition. It is specifically built to serve, or run, ASP.NET Web pages under the local host scenario (browsing from the same computer as the Web server). In

Database platform Microsoft Access Database is the database management system that delivers a flexible and cost effective database platform to build robust on demand business applications

1.7 PRODUCT FEATURES:

The application shall allow the user to lawfully and freely distribute music over the internet. For each song the user should be charged a fee which is agreed between the client and the provider. Once the fee is paid the music is distributed to him/her. From here onwards the user can they distributed the music using their own personal hardware or software. The application should inform the user which devices are connected to the system at any one time. The system should allow the distribution of music to external devices as well as to other systems by providing networking capability. The application will finally incorporate advanced searching and sorting facilities, making it easier for the user to organize their music collection. The application is intended for users who use and distribute music electronically. One of the highest priorities is age verification; people under the age of 16 should not be allowed to purchase the songs online and adults may also chose to lock specific songs which contain offensive material. The application shall allow both novice users and more competent computer users to use the system effectively. For more frequent computer users, there will be options for advanced functions to allow them to generate their own playlists along with storing and loading multiple files. The system shall restrict remote users being able to download music on a clients system.

2.8 LAYERED REPRESENTATION OF THE SYSTEM

Page 14

Model - The model represents enterprise data and the business rules that govern access to and updates of this data. Often the model serves as a software approximation to a real-world process, so simple real-world modelling techniques apply when defining the model.

View -The view renders the contents of a model. It accesses enterprise data through the model and specifies how that data should be presented. It is the view's responsibility to maintain consistency in its presentation when the model changes. This can be achieved by using a push model, where the view registers itself with the model for change notifications, or a pull model, where the view is responsible for calling the model when it needs to retrieve the most current data.

Controller - The controller translates interactions with the view into actions to be performed by the model. In a stand-alone GUI client, user interactions could be button clicks or menu selections, whereas in a Web application, they appear as GET and POST HTTP requests. The actions performed by the model include activating business processes or changing the state of the model. Based on the user interactions and the outcome of the model actions, the controller responds by selecting an appropriate view

Initially user is made to fill all mandatory fields filled in registration form. Once the user clicks submit the username is verified. If the username is already present, then the user is again taken back, so that he can change the username. If the username is not present then it checks for password and remaining mandatory fields. If any of the mandatory field is left empty or filled incorrect, then the user is informed to enter the correct values. Once all these verifications are succeeded, then the registration is done.

In software engineering, an entity-relationship model (ERM) is an abstract and conceptual representation of data. Entity-relationship modeling is a database modeling method, used to produce a type of conceptual schema or semantic data model of a system, often a relational database, and its requirements in a top-down fashion. Diagrams created by this process are called entity-relationship diagrams, ER diagrams, or ERDs. The first stage of information system design uses these models during the requirements analysis to describe information needs or the type of information that is to be stored in a database. The data modeling technique can be used to describe any technology (i.e. an overview and classifications of used terms and their relationships) for a certain area of interest. In the case of the design of an information system that is based on a database, the conceptual data model is, at a later stage (usually called logical design), mapped to a logical data model, such as the relational model; this in turn is mapped to a physical model during physical design. An entity-relationship (ER) diagram is a specialized graphic that illustrates the relationships between entities in a database. ER diagrams often use symbols to represent three different types of information. Boxes are commonly used to represent entities. Diamonds are normally used to represent relationships and ovals are used to represent attributes. ER diagram represent the structure and relationship between tables of database used in project Class (Room no, standard, section, phone no) Teacher (Subject, address, phone no, name, email, ID) Student (address, student id, section, phone no, DOB, class) Fee detail (bill no, student id, date of payment, fee period) Guardian (relationship, email, name, phone no)

Dynamic Website-Many early Web implementations consisted of static HTML pages. This becomes very difficult to manage if the number of pages gets too large. An effective system should be largely dynamic taking advantage of technology that automates this process rather Then relying on manual processes. Application should serve dynamic user based customized web pages to its clients from server. Integration with existing enterprise systemsAny existing Website that relies on the manual duplication of data from another system is one that can be improved. Most of the Business data in the world today exists in enterprise servers that can be connected to the Web servers to make this process far more effective. Provide good performance and the ability to scale the serverThe Web application Server should provide good performance and the ability to manage performance with techniques, such as support for caching, clustering, and load balancing. Providing school management capability Web application developers should not spend valuable time worrying about how to maintain sessions with in the application. The Web Application Server should provide the services.

3.3 ADVANTAGES:

4.2 APPENDIX
The proposed system can be better implemented if it is developed in the framework of n-tier architecture. We developed a set of different project modules, which can be termed as subsystems that are finally integrated to culminate into a total business solution. J2EE n-Tier architecture breaks down to following layers.

Presentation logic: It defines what the user interface displays and how user requests are handled. in our system it is decided by Servlets and JSPs Business logic: It models complex business rules and processing, often through the interaction with application data. In our application it is done by session beans and entity beans. Infrastructure services: These are the following-

User Interface : It handles user s interaction with the application .it can be a web browser ,a desktop application or even a wireless device. In our case it will be a browser middleware services that enhance the functionality of our application. Some are like transaction management, security, lifecycle management, naming and directory service etc. these are provided by WebSphere Application server. .
