I developed a script that accesses the iTunes Music Store and pulls album information through a web browser. Putting it together with some AJAX, I developed cloudTunes (http://www.petrosalema.com/cloudtunes). Check it out; I think it is the sort of thing you’re talking about.

cloudTunes simply requests the same information as iTunes software but parses it and displays it as HTML.

Apple should definitely develop an open API or webservice for the iTMS, I can’t see how it wouldn’t be to their advantage.

Do you have the code anywhere to parse the search results? I’m actually looking to have individual songs linked to the appropriate iTunes song for download. Want to automate the Affiliate Program process.

I still can’t believe there isn’t an API for this.

Apple, get your head out of your asses! This would be a GREAT addition for you guys!

You can close itunes and re-open it. Same ting happens to me if I disconnect my external harddrive that has all my music on it.

I just close itunes, make sure the external is connected and open iTunes again.

As a stop-gap measure until Apple gets back to its senses, you can do what I did: Write a script that connects to the the itunes link maker (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/itmsLinkMaker)
and supplies the appropriate arguments. The link structure is very simple.

Not exactly an API, but it does the job. I actually glued it together with Anazon Web Services, allowing people to select favorite albums for their member pages on my site. It works very well, with about 95% of the amazon selected albums matching up with an iTunes playlist. Pretty sweet!
