To build this site I used:
- jQuery
- jQuery UI
- jQuery Lazy Load Plugin
- jQuery Media Plugin
- jQuery Browser Plugin Detection
- jQuery iPod-style Drilldown Menu
- iTunes Store Web Service Search API
The bulk of the site is parsing XML using PHP's SimpleXML extension. I also added a caching function inspired by RSS parser with cache function. All of the previews are Quicktime. I wanted to add a custom Flash video player, but I could not get it to work with the m4v's that Apple was sending me. I'm not sure why they DRM protect their previews???
I was thinking about adding some widgets that people can put on their websites, blogs, or social sites. I also thought about finally getting around to version 2 of the iTunes Artwork script that I had promised. I don't know??? Should I do it?
I discovered that the Apple iTunes Store partnered with LinkShare to offer an affiliate program. It's pretty cool. I've get a enough money each month to buy lunch.
