Song search and stream preview API [closed]

Question

Is there an API where I can search for a song, and then stream the preview of the song on my site?

Looked into Amazon MP3, but I can't seem to find an API for Amazon MP3.

Also looked into last.fm Track.Search api, but seems like the return value doesn't seem to give the actual filename. (i.e mp3 etc), which means I can't stream it on my site.

Please let me know if there are other different APIs I can use as well.

Thanks,
Tee

Answer 1

Hopefully you got sorted for this but just in case (and for future searchers)

EchoNest has a solid api with will give you 30 sec. track previews

for example:

http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/song/search?api_key=N6E4NIOVYMTHNDM8J&format=json&results=1&artist=radiohead&title=karma%20police&bucket=id:7digital-US&bucket=audio_summary&bucket=tracks

Just a note that it uses 7digital so only tracks in there catalogs will have previews

Answer 2

Here's the link to the 7digital public API for track search

http://developer.7digital.com/resources/api-docs/catalogue-api#track/search

and here's track preview:

You'll need to register for an API key here:
