Search, browse, play, and buy music from Magnatune (magnatune.com)
Description
This is a combination of an extension with an accompanying Media View for interfacing to Magnatune.com. It creates a new library with all 7600+ tracks available on Magnatune.com allowing you to playback directly from inside Songbird. The Media View shows the artist information/bio, and photo - along with a button to open up a tab to the Magnatune page where you can purchase the album.
If you like the music you're listening to - purchase it and support the artist, Creative Commons, and Magnatune. Creative Commons licensed music rocks.
Known Issues:
- "Buy this Album" opens up a full browser tab rather than doing any sort of nicer in-line prompting & purchasing. I hope to use Magnatune's purchase API at some point in the future.
- To re-sync with the store you have to go to Preferences->Magnatune and force a resync. I'll do something more intelligent with auto-syncing in the future.
Todo:
- Show license information
- Integrate purchase experience
- Auto-sync store database
Release Notes
- Bump for trunk (1.1.0pre) compatibility

Coooool!
I’m glad you’re using my feather.
This addon seems to work on 0.6 but not on 0.5 (no library added).
Yeah–NativeBird rocks! :-)
Hrm, I haven’t tested it with 0.5, but I did run into a problem with bug 8923 which caused the Magnatune library import to not work correctly due to duplicates. This was just fixed on May 5th, so you’ll need to use a 0.6 nightly to have it work correctly anyway.
This add-on does not play nice with the Divided Tag Cloud extension, for some reason. When both are installed, selecting the Divided Tag Cloud media view (in either Library or Magnatune) will display just a black box where the tag cloud should be.
I’m not sure which extension is to fault for this behavior.
Also, uninstalling or disabling the Magnatune extension does not remove the Magnatune library. Not that I’m complaining or anything, it’s just odd.
The Divided Tag Cloud extension is the one to fault. It doesn’t work if the library hasn’t been built yet.
No problems with .03
Yeah–I didn’t add anything to cleanup after uninstalling. There isn’t a super-convenient hook for this right now, I’m working on some sample code to do it though.
I’m using RC2 and it doesn’t seems to work anymore (no Magnatune library).
Ok, I think I’ve indentified the problem.
I’m using both 0.5 and 0.6.
When switching to 0.5, it doesn’t work anymore so the Magnatune library is removed.
So when switching to 0.6 it think it as already launched the “first launch script” so it doesn’t add the Magnatune library.
So I need to clean my profile in order to have it again.
Not compatible with 0.6.1
(but the Magnatune library is still there…)
come on, this is such a good add on! lets have a version 0.7 upgrade! =)
@dansphere, @Tael_: Uploaded a new version which fixes a couple of minor bugs and is 0.7 final (and 0.8.0pre nightly) compatible.
when I try to uninstall the link in the side menu won't go away
