[edit] Wish You Were Here

A simple web app to play through the set list of the gig you're missing

[edit] About the Hack

A two-page app:

1. The 'inside' page: a friend (or random member of the public) selects the gig they're at from a list of suggestions from last.fm's events in Sydney today. They enter the songs they're hearing (using an 'autocomplete' powered by EchoNest).
2. The 'outside' page: the poor soul missing out selects the event from the list. Sample tracks from 7digital are played along to a display of all the currently entered setlist tracks. Just like live music (and because I'm lazy), the events are available for just One Night Only(TM).

[edit] What APIs, tools or kit did you use?

• last.fm - a 'geo-aware' search of events (in reality, I just entered metro=Sydney)
• EchoNest - search against artist and title to get unique IDs. Provides links to 7digital sample tracks
• 7digital - hosts the sample tracks. Originally was going to include a 'buy the setlist' option, however the hit-rate for tracks available for sale wasn't quite high enough, most of the time it was whole-album only, and I was lazy.
