Telemeta is a web audio archiving program which introduces useful and secure methods to backup, index, transcode, analyse and publish any digitalized audio file with its metadata. It is dedicated to professionnals who wants to easily backup and publish documented sounds from collections of vinyls, magnetic tapes or audio CDs over a strong database, in accordance with open standards.

Here are the main features of Telemeta:

  • Secure archiving, editing and publishing of audio files over internet.
  • User friendly web frontend including workflows and high level search methods
  • Smart dynamical and skinnable audio player (thanks to ​TimeSide and !SoundManager2)
  • "On the fly" analyzing, transcoding and metadata embedding based on an easy plugin architecture
  • Temporal and collaborative indexation with fast user marker management
  • Multi-format support : FLAC, OGG, MP3, WAV and more
  • User management with individual profiles and rights
  • Playlist management for users with CSV data export
  • Geo-Navigator for audio geolocalization
  • DublinCore compatibility
  • OAI-PMH data provider
  • RSS feeds generator
  • XML serialized backup
  • Strong SQL or Oracle backend

The Telemeta data model is based on 'collections' and 'items'. A collection is described by its metadata and includes original audio items (sounds) and its own metadata. This existing model has been designed to fit the one of the French Centre of Etnomusicology (CREM) but could be easily adapted/overrided to suit other data structures.

Telemeta is sponsored by :

  • ​Parisson : Custom media solutions
  • ​CNRS : Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (the french Natianal Research and Scientific Center)
  • ​CREM : Centre de Recherche en Ethnomusicology (the french Ethnomusicology Research Center)
  • ​TGE ADONIS : Très Grand Equipement ADONIS of the CNRS

Telemeta is supported by :

  • ​LAM : Equipe Lutherie, Acoustique et Musique de l'Université Pierre et Marie Curie de Paris (Instrument design, Acoustic and Music team of the Pierre & Marie Curie University, Paris)
  • ​MuCEM : Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée
  • ​MMSH : Maison Méditerranéenne des Sciences de l'Homme
