Title
'music' iTunes music store link
Short, concise description of the idea
A way of changing the current music thing in journals into a link to that song's profile and preview in iTunes music store.
Full description of the idea
Now that iTunes has been released on Windows, I thought perhaps it should be implemented into Livejournal. You may be aware of the 'Music store' feature, where 30 second song-clips are available to listen to, and then you can buy the full song for 99 cents if you like it. Maybe you guys should make a feature where clicking on the current music thing links through to that song in iTunes Music store? It'd be a great way to sample tracks that friends are listening to.
An ordered list of benefits
You can learn about and listen to songs that perhaps you may not have previously heard about.An ordered list of problems/issues involved
Getting people to correctly list their current song so that it can be read by iTunes.An organized list, or a few short paragraphs detailing suggestions for implementation
I know that Apple have created this ( http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/itmsLinkMaker ) which makes an HTML link to songs in iTunes. Maybe some kind of version of this could be used?
