While this is in accordance with the 2. Current Situation great majority of commercially available databases it is The shortcomings of the current state of the art of certainly not the manner in which a normal user selects cataloguing ripped CDs fall into several categories. music from conventional storage. Virtual music collections where the data representing the Music Servers, therefore, generally fall far short of the music is stored, but where there is no physical carrier requirements of serious listeners of Classical Music, create a new problem for cataloguing. Initially the Jazz, and Compilation albums. industry responded with several commercial databases offering cataloguing at an ALBUM level: A better solution had to be developed before Music Servers and Hard Disk players attain ubiquity in the ARTIST (SINGLE ARTIST FOR THE ALBUM) market alongside conventional sources such as CD ALBUM players. GENRE And within the selected album simply: This paper demonstrates how information at Track level with Naim Extended Metadata can give a user SONG experience beyond the convenience of conventionally will identify any individual track. selecting a CD from the shelf. Powerful database processing and search mechanisms deliver an intuitive This is the situation, supported additionally with Cover user interface for both the casual user as well as the Art that has been used by the various free or subscribed dedicated musicologist, whether playing music from the databases for a number of years. Hard Disc or simply playing a CD album in real-time. 1. Background ALBUM LEVEL TRACK LEVEL Traditionally, physical vinyl record and CD collections Searchable Searchable have been stored on shelves with spines visible. The Artist Y Song Y content of the spines reflects the marketing endeavours Album Y of the record company on the one hand and also serves Genre Y to indicate contents of the single disc or album for Cover Art selection by the user. Selection of an album quickly offers additional information as soon as the album is While this situation will work for simple Albums where removed from the shelf, as track information is readily the Album title is unambiguous and the Artist is the same visible along with other information relating to artists and for all tracks, the system immediately fails for the specific recording. compilations, where there are many possible artists individual to each track in the album. In order for a Music Server or Hard Disk Player to match Virtually all Classical music is assembled onto an album or surpass the convenience of selecting discs from a as a compilation, and therefore it is implicit that the collection on a shelf, a database internal to the Server current situation fails with classical music. has to be constructed to match the ripped disc. 2.1 International releases may be different The only unique identification for the disc relates to the Albums may well exist in several versions in different properties of the data on the disc: number of tracks, territories.

Requirements Correctly creating a database that will be effective for The requirements for a reliable database from which to Compilation CDs requires that the search fields operate identify ripped CDs are summarised below: at both ALBUM level and at TRACK level. 3.1 Correctly identifying and allowing free searching The search fields proposed in the Naim Music Server within ARTIST, ALBUM, GENRE, SONG CDs. and Hard Disc Player are: - 3.2 This is adequately covered by the available ALBUM LEVEL commercial databases with one important shortcoming.

Search 7. Browsing The Search path for the user makes no distinction between search at Album or Track level other than when searching for an ALBUM title. The distinction is at the point of returning the results to the user. The rationale is that the end user will not be constrained by the physical CD boundaries of the original disc, which are purely an artifice introduced by the Record Company. The Naim user is therefore free of the constraints of the physical CD when searching. The user searches allow both BROWSing and SEARCHing. Within any of the menu categories sub-lists of album Browsing allows survey and selection from lists, in the Titles, Track names, Composers names etc. allow the manner of browsing a selection of CDs on a shelf, user to quickly drill down to the required selection. however they may be organised.

CUREJ: College Undergraduate Research Electronic Journal, University of Pennsylvania, https://repository.upenn.edu/curej/31.

Silent No Longer: Voices of the 1967 Newark Race Riots Abstract From 12 to 18 July 1967, Newark, New Jersey, erupted in one of the most devastating riots in U.S. history. Twenty-six people were killed, but thousands were forever affected by the violence. The U.S. and New Jersey governments did extensive research on these riots, but the real stories of the common citizen in Newark were never documented. My thesis, an oral history, fills in this missing piece of knowledge yb providing an in-depth look at the lives of ten individuals who have been shaped by the riots. Using their stories, along with primary and secondary research, I discuss major themes impacting Newark’s black residents – healthcare, education, police brutality, unemployment, and public housing – to illustrate that freedom was not always guaranteed to all Americans.
