MusicPinch.com
This was an interesting project I started several years ago, and is still in its beta stages. The concept was to help take the content that MP3 search engines are able to find in blogs and on people websites, and organize it back into artists and albums, the same way you would browse on the iTunes store or amazon.com
The website uses 3 API’s to work in the same way a human might.
- To interface with popular audio sellers and gather recent albums given an artist.
- Once aware of songs we use another system to search the file given its title.
- A recommendation engine can help tell you what you might also like, to keep the loop going.
The website has a few other features in its unique but simplicity interface.
- Limited 5 searches per IP, per day.
- Paypal subscription API integration for sellers looking to go beyond.
- Ratings for dead/wrong links to push that result by default.
- Smooth scrolling and Ajax requests make this all happen on one page.
