magnatune mostly complete

worked some more on the magnatune store interface for Songbird. got the following up:

it’s neat. you can browse the 7600+ tracks available at magnatune and play the full length of the song exactly as if it were a local library. right now clicking the “buy this track” button pops up a new browser tab and takes you to the page to enter your info to purchase the MP3 (without the magnatune nag voice at the end of each track that you hear when you play directly from the store)

they have an API for doing purchases directly, but it involves transmitting a credit card number via a URL. ick. i need to test to see if it accepts those variables via POST instead of GET to make it a little more secure. if that works, then this would be pretty neat. if i can get a better integrated purchase experience, then i’ll consider this complete.

update: uploaded the add-on here
