We are working on something similar over here at gofish.

Here is a sample of our code for embedding a playlist that includes album art, and sample audio clips. We are working on some better designs and approaches. We would love your feedback if you have any ideas.

Please keep in mind that this is just a ‘beta’ version.

BTW, you can use any of your winamp, or itunes playlists to create a blogabble playlist widget at http://www.gofish.com/mygofish

email me back at jake@gofish.com.

Thanks
Jake

i am looking for a plugin like this, basically all i need it to do, is upload the album art of the currently playing song. there are iTunes plugins that do this nicely, but no winamp plugins that will upload album art.

Thanks for the comment — I recently updated the playlist with some navigation to make it slightly less confusing. I don’t think I’ll release it as a plugin, but rather as a standalone app with a bloglet display (as you see here). It’s true that it’s very easy to modify the program to accept input really in any way you want to give it; even multiple methods from multiple programs could be supported.

Interesting work! I like that you went the next step to storing in the database, and having longer ‘playlist’ pages/views.

I do just a tiny bit of this through my WP plugins: CG-WhatTunes handles the POST, data store (flat file at the moment), and sidebar display function(s).

WT works with my other plugin, CG-Amazon, which if available is called to provide an amazon link to the current-playing song. You can also ‘tag’ stuff you add to your ‘amazon database’ with extra html, such as a link to a review-post — I’ve done that myself.

To Jeff if he sees this: there are iTunes blogging tools on both Mac and Win, that use POST commands — that’s what CG-WhatTunes was built for (though any music-blogger tool that can be formatted with the ‘proper’ POST string will work with it). So you could likely get iTunes working with Now Playing (and thus Tristan’s Playlist stuff) pretty easily if the POST format is reasonably simple.

Never thought of integrating reviews… it would be very easy to add to the database, I’ll see about that.

A release won’t exactly come soon, but within the next month or so I’d say. It’ll be in 2 versions — integrated WP plugin with its own control panel, and a standalone simple playlist page for the rest of the world (just because).

Yes, i would be interested in a plug in. I have some yet defined ideal that mixes playlist, album reveiw, and amazon/cdBaby plugin. I want to share a playlist of songs that have active links or hovers of my review of the album and links to amazon or CDbaby to buy the album.

Sorry for the moderation Jeff — I do realize that the plugin for Winamp isn’t available on Mac, or on the same thread, anyone using a different player of any kind.

Unfortunately it will have to be available only to Winamp users for now. You’re welcome to write plugins for your favorite music player that can POST to a web address with the correct information however, and it should work with them.
