Investigate streaming service for alpha version #12

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Investigate which streaming service(s) we should use for an initial prototype 
implementation to make sure SMD also works with online music.

The following page contains a list of a lot of online sources that might give 
you some idea of suitable services:

The criteria for the service is that it at least have to support:
- Have a unique identity for a specific song
- Allow playback of a specific song. A preview of 30 second audio might be good 
enough for the alpha prototype if the service is freely available.
- Have some kind of API where it's possible to browse for songs, artists, 
releases based on their name/title to make it possible to find a specific song 
which the user want to play.
- At least 3 project members should have access to the service to make it 
possible to test it, but for th prototype a free service with 30 seconds 
previews would probably be preferable to make it possible for all project 
members to use it.
