[bukaznik]

hi will,

great work! any reason why you don't include price information?

Thanks,

Yeh good point. The only tricky part is that outside EU we dont need
to charge VAT, perhaps we could list two prices, one including VAT and
one without, for tracks and releases?

You could also keep things simple providing prices excluding tax and
leave it up to he affiliate to either add VAT or a note saying 'VAT
applies within EU'.

The reason I am asking for the price is our website www.play.fm. We
have 12.000 DJ mixes online for listening on demand. Our new website
coming in March will be able to link tracks in tracklists with shops.
We would like to link to digital-tunes.net. Can you also provide a
full product feed for downloading?

Thanks,
Thomas

It wont be a problem to add both, might be better because VAT rates
vary a lot in EU, we happen to be based in Finland where it is 22%.

Cool stuff on the on the link-up with play.fm, sounds great!

When you say full product feed, you mean some way of grabbing very
product from the store? At the moment there isn't a way to do this,
but we could add the ability to page through all releases (with
newest first) with requests like

/releases/?key=blah&page=1&count=100

That way you could just page until you grab them all.

Alternatively we could dump nightly all releases into one xml
document, but that might be quite unwieldy, I would prefer the
previous option.

In our case it's just fine to have data without VAT. We have another
table with all different VAT levels added to price based on whatever
your requirements are.

Your alternate suggestion with dumping into one xml document is the
one I would prefer because then I don't have to hit your server. I
would just download it once in a week for example.

I just deployed the changes to the API which add price information and
format information. Both tracks and releases have two new elements:

<eu-price>3.00</eu-price>
<non-eu-price>2.46</non-eu-price>

In addition tracks have a list of formats like

<formats>
<format bitrate="320">mp3</format>
<format>flac</format>
<format>wav</format>
</formats>

Oops forgot to mention in docs that these prices are in euros,
updated.
