Hey there!
First, thanks for the API! I really like 8tracks and want to build my
desktop-app, probably with Youttube-integration, etc.
I have done now all the wrapping for Mix, Response, User, etc. and
building up the "infrastructure". But now I want to start actually
playing the songs.
And so I come to my question: how often do I have to retreive a new
play-token?
Can I use one play token to play different sets like
http://8tracks.com/sets/460486803/play.xml?mix_id=2000 and when the userer changes the mix I just go
http://8tracks.com/sets/460486803/play.xml?mix_id=73948 without a new play-token? Or does it expire sometime, someway?
