Rhapsody access

Postby alitchy on Sun Feb 04, 2007 2:15 pm

I'm not much of a programmer, but I'd really love to have access to all the music on Rhapsody, using my xlobby gui.

Apparently this guy actually developed a SDK to communicate with the Rhapsody web services. http://www.openrhap.net/blog/

He can pull down the search functionality and access to the raw Rhapsody music catalog.

So imagine having access to all that music, and the xlobby GUI? Sounds wonderful doesn't it? Anyone with programming ability want to take it on?

This would be a great addition. Rhapsody only component that i use every day that is not yet integreated with XL.

Okay so the linux crowd now has this capability in Freevo. This thread shows a screenshot, and has the source code. Perhaps this can be done in xlobby in a similar fashion? It would certainly be a feature that makes the purchase of xlobby, more palatable for those who were used to it being free.
