Sad times

Well I have been playing around with jQuery to dynamically load files in and CSS to style and display lists of files. All was working well with my test files until I hit a snag... a very very big snag well for what I wanted to achieve with this project.

It didnt even dawn on me when I started this project the implications of what I was trying to do. I thought yeh I can pull a list of files and then display them then get the id3 tags and then you can dynamically play them.... all valid ideas and all achievable (most of which i got working). But it never dawned on me that I cant pull a list from a folder on a HD or on a desktop, id have to do this with files that I knew exactly where they were and what they were called (so no dynamic about it) or if i wanted to do dynamic id have to have folders of files sitting on a server somewhere that I target. Because you cant pull lists dynamically from a local machine in your browser for security reasons.

For this reason I am just going to stop this project as I can still achieve something that looks like what I wanted to create but it wont function in the way I want nor will i be able to use it in the way I want. :(
