Track entity has a new feature: we added the HTML code of the Play.me flash player to stream the track within the embeddedPlayer attribute.
When calling an API returning a track or a track list, you will find within track entity the new attribute, that looks something as follows (JSON):


"embeddedPlayer" : "<object type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" data=\"http://embed2.dada.net/swf/vdet.swf\" width=\"420px\" height=\"30px\" ><param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" /> <param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" /> <param name=\"menu\" value=\"false\" /> <param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /> <param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"cid=1042321&domain=it&conf=P00XXX\" /> <param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://embed2.dada.net/swf/vdet.swf\" /></object>"


You can use the HTML code to show the play.me flash player and so allowing track streaming.

Play.me API now support OAuth authentication protocol.
OAuth allows third parties applications to delegate playme user authentication to playme.com itself, so that they can avoid to make themselves responsible for related security issues.

Take a look at Play.me API OAuth implementation starting from here.

This new API allows you to replace an existing playlist contents: it clears previous contents and insert the track list you supply in just one step! Useful for supporting kind of "playlist of the week" stuff, i.e. playlists that users modify periodically.
 
Find (and read before use) the API documentation at the playlist.replaceTrackList API page.

Now it is possible to refine track searching (both full text and by track name), using genre.
 
Example:
this call retrieves tracks whose title contain the word night:

To filter only reggae tracks you have just to append reggae genre indentifier (968):

The same holds for the track.search API.

Here we are with a brand new API, that returns the new entries in our catalogue.
 
Its use is straightforward, as it needs no specific parameter (apart from your apikey, as usual).
 
Try it out and discover what's new within playme catalogue. And, as usual, remember to read the documentation page.

Sure, this may not be the API you were thinking about, but nonetheless here it is!
 
It extracts a random track from the catalogue and you should try it, just to have some fun.
Read the API documentation page and enjoy it.

Many of you have been asking for that: an API that retrieves a collection of tracks by their ids, so avoiding to execute calls to track.get from within a loop.
Now that's it!
With track.getList you retrieve the track list with one and only call: just supply it with a comma separated list of trackCodes.
For further details about the API, read the documentation page.
 
Enjoy it.
