[Playlist] Cruxy and XSPF

[Nathan Freitas]

Hi folks. This is Nathan of ION <http://iondb.com>and the Java XSPF 
library <https://ion.dev.java.net/source/browse/ion/IonXSPF/>.

<quick-self-promotion>
I wanted to let you know about our new service called Cruxy 
<http://cruxy.com>. It's an open marketplace where anyone can buy and 
sell pretty much any type of digital media.The seller sets the price, 
the license (including CC), and format (we've got everything from MP3 to 
OGG, Quicktime and WMV, PDF and 3D Studio Mesh Files). Buyers can come 
to the site and purchase without signing up or making any commitment 
more than getting what they want. We have also chosen not to use DRM in 
this service, opting instead for paying the sellers (aka "the artist") 
what they deserve (you can play with our pricing engine here: 
https://www.cruxy.com/enginewidget.jsp), and believing that people will 
opt to pay and not to pirate.

Everyone also get's their own page on Cruxy - here's mine: 
http://natty.cruxy.com. You can send people here to see your stuff, or 
use our distributed widget to sell directly in your blog:

Now, on to our XSPFiness - we've got it all over the place. Please 
excuse the fact, for now, that we are using a text/plain mime-type, but 
its useful for people to be able to easily view the contents of the 
playlists.

All of these feeds include automatically generated FLV, JPEG, and MP3 
previews, which can be viewed in our copy-and-pasteable, enhanced 
MusicPlayer flash widget: https://www.cruxy.com/promote.jsp

We have also added two <meta> tags, soley for our own use:
<meta rel="type">video</meta>
<meta rel="price">$1.00</meta>

If there is anything you think we could be doing better or different in 
regards to XSPF, please let me know. If there is anything you'd like to 
do with our data or system, I'm all ears.

Otherwise, please check out the service and let anyone you know who's 
got something original and digital to post it for sale on Cruxy. Thanks!

+Nathan
