Hello All,
Is ‘Hindi Film Geet Khosh’ available in digital version (PDF, DOC etc.)?


Thank You

No. They are available in paperback form only.
More details can be got from the publishers' website www.hamraaz.org

Hello,
I just read one thread, regarding "Enforcement Of Id3 Tags In All Song Files".

http://www.hamaraforums.com/index.php?showtopic=77217

in that manish ji said
"...then later i can read a geet kosh or nerurkar data base book ..."
can anybody tell about this book?

"...i think your goal will be better accomplished if the electronic hindi film geet kosh is ever made public. then we'd have a universal standard reference to all songs. looking for "insaaf ka mandir hai yeh" ? that's song #234234 in the hindi film geet kosh online library. people can cross reference that number to the song and all the info associated with the number get linked. ....."

is that mean there is HFGK online?

Thank & Regards

No, the writer clearly says IF. and he's just giving an example.

Aditya

uff .. i thought this project is under construction.. or may be underground site..

thank you for clarification aditya

Dear All,
How is the idea to create digital HFGK?
Yes.. i would like to make.. anybody would like to help me!
flowchart is ready

First question which is the best "database" to use Access or SQL

Any other idea please welcome!!

1930s to 1980------- 5books-----v need atleast 50 members help----to make it happen. so much typing work required.----------------n news for all music lover one guy in delhi is working on hindi film geetkosh from 1981 to 2000.

yes yob.. we can do it.. i believe near about 5500 movies listed..

at least 5 movies per day * no. of member..
calculation is funny..
5500/5/50 = within 22 days?

OR

for 50 members say 100 movies database have to write with in 30(?)days = 4 movie per day.

k bro---fauz banao----i m readdy----ll do 20 films per day.

carry on..i hope others will also do..

hum tou aapko bhi laga lete but aapko hindi padni nahin aati hogi isliye bach gaye

ha ha ha ha..yes bobby bhai..bach gaya..yes mujhe hindi padni nahee aati..

I also have the same Hindi padni nahin aati excuse, but strongly support your & Yogihit's mission...

www.earthmusic.net

Using a foss database like mysql would be a good idea.

cool.. u r right.. do u have any idea about migration the tables access to SQL is easy or hard

Its better to go for excel I feel due to the nature of task requiring more collaboration.
Transforming can be done later.
Let me know once its ready. Will host it on one of the sites with a searchable feature.

There you go . It has about 70% of the movie listed from 60s and 70s. There may be some errors but most of the data came from HFGK.

Thanks Sangeet

I think it will be a good idea to make this initially on google docs by collaboration.
We can all add to it then. Once done it canbe hosted.

Anyone who'd like to contribute to it can contact me to get the link to share. (I don't want to share it publicly due to obvious reasons).
Once you have it you'll be able to view and edit it. No google login will be required for it.
Am sharing it with yogihit and yob whose addresses I have. Feel free to share with other interested music lovers.

I have requested a friend to help and hope for a favourable response. Will try to contribute for 40s and 50s together with the friend to begin with.

Thanks a lot Sangeet bhai for making the start. Hope we can complete the task soon.
I am PMing the link to you as well.

I have added two columns to the shared document:-
1. Comments - Add any details of the song/movie which is important there.

2. Edited By - Add your name there so that we know who contributed. If you're editing someone else's entry just add your own name with a comma.

Feel free to update any errors in hfgk or some other extra information like film version etc which is known to you.

It maybe a good idea to add Sangeet ji's database for 80s to 2k , the years for which geet kosh is not available also to it. What do others think about this?

Very good efforts by Yogihit, Sangeet and HB,

I would favor changing the title to something else for following reasons.

Let us combine the good things from several sources, including our own HF archive; instead of focusing on a single compilation.

Secondly, if we use the term digitalHFGK, there could be copyright issues to consider.

How about calling it Hamara Sangeet list?

Exon

Hamaare Geet would be more apt I feel.
Agree with what you say.

that is a great idea Hb,
pls email me the the link..

-waheed

Request those editing to do it like I have done. Add newer entries In order of year and then in ascending order of film name.
Insert new rows as per requirement.

I'll send it across. Request you to put in missing details and new entries as well.
Any other friends of yours who may be interested are also most welcome. You can share the link with them.

HB,

Can you email me the link as well, please?

Aditya

HB,

Please email the link to me at rpnawani@gmail.com.

rpnawani

Dear Aditya and rpnawani
I'll send the link in the evening.

Can u forward the link to me too at bseshadri@in.com. Thanks in advance

HB,

The link to me too, please

Best regards
Bhavita

hb bhai first wait n see how many members r intrested than distribute the work year wise between all of them.----------for example from 1930 to 1935 to member A 35 to 40 to member B-------just an advice

yes yob
you are right.. we will distribute the work year wise that will be easy to edit & maintained excel offline too.

Thanks a lot all of you for showing interest to making digital HFGK.

Hb,
thanks for the link..i was going through with the same..since i recieved it..
but still i feel..that record numbers may also be there
for every song..that is a must..which will help us to know the palti songs
on the records...and...also we will be able to know..wheather records are released
for a particular song/s or not.. (it is a sugetion)..

bobby bhai..aap ka idea mujhe achha laga..kaam ko distribut karna chaaiye..
with the members..having GK and knowing hindi language..

regards,
-waheed

Yes, bobby bhai division will be useful. My suggestion is that we attack decade wise at our convenience. The order can be 50s, 40s, 60s, 70s and 30s.
If any member is interested in a particular year or movie, they are welcome to add that as well.

But as I suggested above,
do your own mental sorting while adding entries.

Add rows for songs, first in order of year and then in order of film. This will make the database easier to manage.

Waheed bhai
I have added a column for record number. if record was not released it can be mentioned in the same place.

Sent.

Done mam.

Link is sent. Please check your mail boxes.

Ab sab gaane bhi daalna shuru karo. division dekhenge baad mein.
I am still seeing only Sangeet ji and my names for editors.

HB,

As I mentioned earlier, I started a few changes in 1979 and working backwards.

E

dear friends,
i remember corresponding with a music lover from IIT Kanpur ,who had developed a software of all volumes of HFGK,almost a decade back .He had asked for rs. 10,000 that time.
hb,send me the link too



regards,
mahesh

Thats great Exon.
Hope someone can start with the 30s also, so that the beginning is also done.

It was better to get the book itself, then!
There is something about the book which can never give a feel in a database.

I've sent you the link too.

Thank you, Sir
Have received the link.

My friend Radhika ji has started putting in 1950 films and I am putting 1951 films when I can.

Still waiting for others to join in. Today being Sunday, Hope to see many more additions.

Hi HB,

I have started with the year 1952.

Bhavita

Hello All

I seem to be having a problem with making entries on the googledoc spread sheet. My computer hangs after every 2-3 entries and 'comes alive' after 3 - 4 minutes (a big waste of time)

Am not sure if this is specific to my computer (vistas) or if other members too face something similar?

I have downloaded the googledocs spread sheet to excel (the entries thus dont get updated online)


Hope the data from the excel sheet can be imported back to the master database? Some one please confirm

Regards
Bhavita

Bhavita,
seems that your internet explorer do not support google document
pls use for exploring..mozilla firefox or google chrome..i hope prob will be solved..
