Fwd: info at rpmchallenge.com: API for 3rd party access

[Nikolaj Hald Nielsen]

I just wanted to forward this to the list.

I am constantly on the lookout for interesting new stuff to add, and I
stumbled across these guys ( rpmchallenge.com ) a while back and
thought it was a fun and interesting concept.

Seems they might be interested as well... this kind of thing would
make a very straight forward SoC project, or task for a new
contributor.

We're very interested in this idea! Ken Dunnington is actually the one
doing most of the work on our jukebox,  his e-mail is
ken.dunnington at gmail.com, by all means please get in touch with him to
discuss this idea further.

Thanks,

So far, we have integrated Magnatune, Jamendo, Shoutcast and mp3 tunes and are looking into a number of other services as well. By "integratig" I am talking about making the content easily searchable and streamable from within the application itself.
