JavaFX MediaTheque

This project is a MediaTheque application built using JavaFX. The application serves as a digital library for managing media files, such as books, movies, and music. It allows users to organize, search, and display their media collection through an intuitive graphical interface.

Features

• Media Management: Add, edit, and remove media items (e.g., books, movies, music).
• Search Functionality: Search for items by title, genre, or other attributes.
• Category Organization: Organize media by categories for better management.
• Interactive GUI: User-friendly interface built with JavaFX.

Technologies Used

• JavaFX: For building the graphical user interface.
• Java: Core programming language for the backend logic.
• FXML: For defining the UI layout.
