I need to look up artist/album/track information for song titles.
Is there a free database I could download or a open source web service/api I could use?

Try the last.fm api at http://www.last.fm/api.
If that doesn't work for you, you can look at the various APIs listed in this search result:
http://www.programmableweb.com/category/music/api
This is a Silverlight tutorial, but since this is an HTTP REST API, it could seem agnostic to you to get started: http://www.devx.com/VisualStudio/Article/40158.

I'd go with musicbrainz.
http://musicbrainz.org/doc/XML_Web_Service
http://musicbrainz.org/doc/libmusicbrainz

I would personnally recommend Discogs, which is free and doesn't limit the per day usage. However, it limits the amount of requests to one per second per IP address.
The API is quite clear and documented. It uses JSON over HTTP, and has wrappers for various programming environnements (Python, Ruby, Perl, .NET, PHP).
Plus, it has data about a massive amount of artists, releases and labels.

Yes! The Echo Nest. Pretty hot startup outside Boston that just got more funding. Their API lets you search by artist, album, track, and more.

FreeDB is free, but may or may not have an API. It is user-generated content.

And apparently Gracenote is the new CDDB (but probably not free). I guess they finally figured out that they didn't want to limit their database to CDs.

I'm looking for headless cms with good support for several languages. It is my first project with headless cms so i tried to find something on my own but i couldn't find solution which i want. I decided to use strapi but it has poor (or maybe i miss something) internalization API. As i saw i can provide multiple language but just for some word's/sentences.
https://strapi.io/documentation/3.0.0-beta.x/guides/i18n.html#usage
But my question is about some solution that can distinguish content built with content builder (some articles etc), or maybe if we cannot achieve that in strapi, is there some other free headless cms with that feature ? I couldn't find that and i've not seen any article about achieving that behaviour.
Best regards and thank You in advance.
contentful has good multi-lingual content support but it's SaaS so you can't host it yourself.
Pricing is based on the number of spaces and users you need, plus a platform fee.
Directus is free (on-prem PHP) or pay (Saas) and supports content in many languages via "translation" fields which are returned as specified by the lang parameter in the API.

I am trying to decide on the best connector/plug-in to use for connecting JIRA with SalesForce. If you have an opinion, please let me know. So far, the two most inviting products are ServiceRocket's Connector for Salesforce and JIRA and Go2Group's CRM Plug-In.
I have 2 main issues: 1) I do not want to give all my Salesforce users access to JIRA. I know this is ok for Go2Group, but I can't find the relevent info for ServiceRocket. 2) Preferably, any comments made on a JIRA ticket would not be visible to the SalesForce users.
Please let me know if you have used one of these (or any others) and why you chose it. Thank you!
Personally, I liked Service Rockets connector a lot more than Go2Group or ZAgile. Pricing wise, Service Rocket was a great deal. Service Rocket is easy to setup as well and you can play around with an eval license before committing to a production license.
http://marketplace.servicerocket.com/product/connector-for-salesforcecom-and-jira
The ease of use was there as well as I felt like Service Rockets connector offered much better connectivity and control over how it interacted with JIRA / SalesForce.
Their documentation has improved over the last year as well and support wise I have never had an issue communicating with them.
I hope this helps in your decision. It was a really tough one for us to make as all three products seem to be on par with each other parity wise.

We have a commercial application created on CakePHP. I'm about to install it on a client's server, so we'd like to protect my code from being modyfied and/or copied and reselled, changing trial period terms, etc.
I want to know if obfuscating the Cake PHP code breaks Cake specific libraries, or make the application unusable.
I've been searching on this forum and over internet and found several options for obfuscating PHP code, but none related to CakePHP. (I just asked to some of the commercial tools providers if they support Cake obfuscating but haven't received an answer yet).
Does anybody know if this is possible or if there's a better approach to do that?
I'll try to use one of the trial versions of the commercial tools this weekend, but if someone has an advice about this would be great
My company, Semantic Designs, is one of the commercial vendors.
With a decent obfuscator (ahem :) you shouldn't have any trouble doing this. You need to tell the obfuscator somehow (with ours you just provide a list of symbol names) what identifiers have to be retained as cleartext (e.g., any calls to the CakePHP framework), and any public APIs your software may offer.
I'd recommend, you give it a shot and try it out.
Usually, an obfuscator should obfuscate frameworks, too. It should be independent of what kind of PHP Code you use.
Test it in a test environment. If it's successful, you can enroll it to your production environment.

A project I'm working on currently involves using a disparate set of technologies, including .NET, PHP, Asterisk and bash scripting. Each of the applications in use produces some logging; technical logging for administrators and user logging. The technical logging is easy, all logs are written to disk as text files.
For the user logging, I'd like a central portal where messages can be viewed, filtered and perhaps reported on.
Essentially, I'm looking for a web based application that will accept a number of log sources (including web services and syslog at a minimum), allow the logs to be stored, displayed and filtered in a web UI and ideally have the possibility of triggering events such as email or SMS.
I'm about to embark on writing this application; before I do, I want to make sure that I'm not reinventing the wheel. Any pointers/recommendation?
EDIT
I've found Exceptioneer and Hoptoad - both of which look promising - are there any other tools like this (ideally open source) ?
I think Loggly seems to most closely meet my requirements. I also found Errbit (open source HopToad-alike), LogStash (looks a bit immature for now) and GrayLog2.
I suspect I'll give Loggly and Hoptoad a go.
Logverse might be in the ballpark of what you are looking for.

Does anyone know of any libraries that decode one or more of the multitude of different scuba dive computer log file formats?
DAN DL7
IRIS / DRAK
Suunto
Oceanlog
Citizen
ProDive
NiTek Logic
DCDS
Ideally I'm looking for code that'll run in .NET, but I'm willing to transcode from other languages if that's the only option.
Links to articles describing formats is appreciated as well. Sample log files would be handy.
I'm considering creating an open source project for this if no such library already exists. If you'd like to contribute, please mention so as a comment or in your answer.
I have no experience with this but Google turned up the library libdivecomputer.
It supports a number of devices and platforms, and the library is LGPL licensed. However, not all brands you mention appear to be supported.
You can always try contacting the manufacturers to get the data. You might have better luck contacting the engineers specifically, if you can find them.
I don't know much about the industry, but I would suspect you can make a case for opening up their formats, because they are primarily hardware manufacturers.
