2: Introduction

What is the problem?

We want to provide a website where users can find information about artists, albums, and songs. Users can learn where artists are from, when they were born (or, for groups, when the group formed), what genre their music is, and what their latest release is. We also provide a short bio about each artist on their individual pages. For albums, we include the artist, genre, release date, album cover image, number of tracks, and track listing. Finally, users can explore specific songs, including the artist, album, iTunes rank, release date, genre, and duration. For each artist, album, and song, we provide a link to iTunes to connect users to music they can download.

What are the use cases?

Starting at our home page, users can go to the Song page to see a table containing the attributes for each song. The Album and Artist pages have similar tables. Users can navigate to individual song, artist, or album pages. These pages link to each other to make browsing the website easy. Users can also navigate to our About page to learn more about the creators of the website and to run our "Unit Tests" button, which gives the output of testing our database backend.
