Use the API #12

I'm thinking about making small, simple client for Deezer for OSX with ability to play the music. I've tried to use iOS SDK on OSX but without any success even though the library is build for i386 architecture.

So probably the only possible way will be through hacking the web app through WebView as your app do. I think that it's possible to use WebView as only the "proxy" for communicating and playing the music. For the data it's possible to use the API (http://developers.deezer.com/api). What do you think about it, may I contribute to your project with these kind of ideas or should I make my own?

The main idea behind this project was to make standalone app with minimal amount of hacking that would possibly break when Deezer guys will change something. I was also thinking about using API at first, but it's not providing links to playback(except of 30s preview) so I abandoned this idea.

If you think that you can prepare API wrapper and integrate it with website then feel free to send pull requests - I will surely consider pulling them. It could open road to interface modifications so definitely worth checking.
