[Playlist] Rhapsody XSPF Content Resolver

[Toby Padilla]

Hi XSPF'ers,

Musicmobs has just launched the first version of our XSPF->Rhapsody  
content resolver. Using our REST api, you can open any XSPF that  
contains <creator><album><title> elements at the track level in  
Rhapsody's web player. I've tested this out with Musicmobs XSPFs and  
some Last.fm XSPFs. For example the following links should work:

http://www.musicmobs.com/player?xspf=http://xspf.musicmobs.com/ 
playlist/beunis/Island%20Spirit.xspf

http://www.musicmobs.com/player?xspf=http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/ 
tag/Rock/toptracks.xspf

If you create a link to a XSPF, it's best to add target="_blank" to  
the anchor tag since we resize the window with Javascript after opening.

This is a first pass and Rhapsody's api is pretty slow. We're caching  
data on our side, but since we just launched there are a lot of cache  
misses. Also, due to the way Rhapsody supplies their unique ids,  
tracks with bad or missing <album> elements won't be properly  
resolved until the album with that track is loaded into the cache.  
Expect accuracy, speed and robustness to increase over time.

Please feel free to send feedback.

Regards,
Toby
