In terms of total duration, roughly.

But enough of B3tans hard work to keep !
I would estimate ~25 hours (taken as a simple ~3 minutes per track X 500)

I have a good few "real" servers in dedicated hosting as well as a huge private storage matrix based on Swift and multiple 100MB and GB internet links. This vps hosting was simply quicker and easier at the time for clients with flat n easy websites.
What I really need is an alternative frame worj and somebody savvy enough with SQL to export and inject the songs into the a place...

No way - I have never ever liked, trusted or condoned blobs.
Object storage I can embrace!
This website is audio tracks in one directory and a PHYMSQL script to link them.
On each song you will see a 'Linky' link for b3ta usage and under download a download link. Both things I put in - I changed the download to incorporate the title (rather than ID) ann the linky makes it b3ta flash happy.

I imagine you want to preserve past links? I'm not sure how much assistance I could offer. I generally work in PHP / MySQL / MSSQL.

Direct past links need to be worried about, to be honest.
Just a shiny new front system. I was thinking simple like, somebody recommend a new framework and we enliven. Somebody export the relevant metadata. Copy the tracks. . import metadata.
I like simple. User name. Hashed password. list of files, thumbnails and info. Likes n dislikes all good but not required. Inter user direct comms, subscribing and all that... not so important.
I meant so much more, but 2009 also saw my little babe appear
Also... if past links were deemed important at any stage it's nothing I couldn't sort out with mod_rewrite

Then see how much it would cost to transfer that to a dedicated sound host like SoundCloud.
You might find it a) similar in price to hosting your own site (if not cheaper) b) a fuck of sight easier than creating/porting your own system.
Don't do anything if someone else has done it for you.

host audio on SoundCloud, embed their widgets in your site. That way you can 'brand' your own way but still keep the advantages of SC
