This is a C-based networking application that simulates a basic Spotify-like server-client system, along with a web browser-like interface for song search and retrieval. It demonstrates concepts like socket programming, hash tables, linked lists, and error handling in C.

• Client-server architecture using sockets
• Custom browser interface to interact with the server
• Song search functionality via linked list and hash table
• Server-side error handling
• CSV-based song data storage (spotify_songs.csv)

• demo_server.c / demo_server_err.c - Example servers showcasing socket usage with and without error handling
• sclient.c - Socket client implementation
• sserver.c - Custom Spotify song server using socket communication

• sbrowser.c - Command-line interface simulating browser functionality to connect with the song server
• sbrowser.h - Header file for the browser module

• htable.c / htable.h - Hash table implementation for song indexing
• slist.c / slist.h - Singly linked list implementation for managing song entries
• snode.c / snode.h - Node definition for linked list elements

• spotify.c / spotify.h - Core logic for handling Spotify song metadata
• spotify_songs.csv - Sample song dataset used for indexing and searching

• Makefile - Automates compilation of the server, client, and browser components

make

Start the main song server, which reads song data from spotify_songs.csv and listens for client connections.

./sserver

Launch the command-line browser interface to connect to the Spotify song server. This client allows you to search for songs and retrieve information from the server.

./sbrowser

make clean

To run this project, you will need:

• A C compiler (e.g., gcc)
• A Unix-like operating system (Linux or macOS recommended)
• A terminal or shell environment to compile and run the programs
• Basic understanding of socket programming (helpful for customization)

No external libraries are required—this project is built entirely with standard C and POSIX sockets.
