Music wants to be free

The Yahoo! Media Player started out as a cool little feature of our Yahoo! Music site , and now is a hugely useful, easily consumable, and super awesome tool available for the entire web to enjoy. Well, it looks like we've got all of this music data on the Yahoo! Music site, so why not send it down the same road? The Yahoo! Music API is a great step in that direction, letting you search for artists, find information about artists and albums, pull down embeddable videos, and more. The Yahoo! Developer Network covers a few examples of how you could put it to use and also provides a quick comparison to the Last.fm web services.
