There seems to be a bit of confusion regarding the various versions of the DT that are extant. The HTML version on the Mudcat site is not created independently--it's derived from a single master version which is also the basis for the Windows and Mac versions.
Yes, one generate a separate HTML page for each song--at 30 seconds per, that would take some 80 hours of steady work. The result would be pretty much what we have now--a database with a lot of useful information that's hard to find. It would still fail to solve the music playing problems that have been a constant nuisance.

When I say that content isn't a problem, it's just what I mean. We now have another 1000 lyrics ready to go, and finding more is no problem.

we're concentrating on the standalone version for a couple of important reasons: a)it's a much better product. b)once the standalone is ready, converting to a web-based database is trivial c) thae standalone is much easier to maintain--just try tracking down duplications of songs in the HTML version.
