Music Online, by Spreety

Category: Current — spreety @ 1:24 pm

There is a lot of music online. Here are the right places to go.

Online music has come a long ways since the infamous file sharing days. Today, there are so many legal places to listen to music online; there is no need for the alternatives. So, Spreety.com put together a video about the right places to listen to music online, including radio stations and music videos.

Among the top picks, AOL Radio hosts thousands of radio stations categorized by genre. The genres include Blues, Classic, Christian Rock, Jazz, R&B, Country, and more. In addition to the genres, many local stations are online, such as, for Los Angeles, the popular K-EARTH 101 and KNX 1070.

AOL’s Spinner has full CD parties, where a variety of top CD’s can be selected and played online. Individual tracks as well as the entire CD can be played on demand.

For music videos, several of the TV stations have their music videos online. As examples, BET (Black Entertainment Television), CMT (Country Music Television), GAC (Great America Country), MTV, VH1, and VH1 Classic all host an extensive library of top performers online.

Possibly, the most unique of the online music players is Pandora Radio. Pandora is completely customizable, and is based on the ten year old Music Genome Project. The Music Genome Project classifies every song based on what each individual song sounds like. By typing in a few preferences, Pandora is able to play many more songs of a similar nature. If a song plays that one does not like, a simple thumbs-down will remove it and songs similar to it. Pandora has taken customization to a whole new level.

Lastly, Yahoo! Kids hosts thousands of music videos that are perfectly appropriate for the little ones.

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) for Spreety TV Online Search

Category: Current — spreety @ 10:03 am

Spreety TV Online announces a fun way to integrate online TV with your web site.

Los Angeles,

When Microsoft architected Windows Communication Foundation, little did they know it would be this much fun.

The flexibility of WCF enabled Spreety TV Online to cost effectively implement the Open Spreety project. Spreety tracks the legal places to watch TV, news, sports, and movies online, and the Open Spreety project shares the links with everyone via services for reuse into their web sites and blogs.

While Spreety utilized WCF, other web sites can use a variety of service technologies, including WCF, Web Services, and Javascript, giving people the empowerment for best fit opportunities.

For example, a web site about the 1950’s could spice up their site with links to 1950’s TV shows. The same is true for genre web sites, like western, science fiction, home & garden, sports, mystery, and more.

Fan sites of TV shows would enjoy the zero maintenance aspect of the online TV links. For example, ABC, NBC, and FOX recently changed their links for watching TV shows, and the Spreety database kept in synch. Certain shows switched from one place to another, like Pushing Daisies (ABC to WB) and Medium (NBC to CBS), and the Spreety database kept in synch.

“When I learned service oriented architecture (SOA), the available examples were boring”, according to Spreety co-founder Ron Laughton. “Working with online TV via services is much more fun. I would encourage programmers everywhere to try out the Web Services and WCF with Spreety.”

Training videos and a custom code generator are available at the following link: http://www.spreety.com/Membership-APIs.aspx

The WSDL is at the following link: http://ws.spreety.com/TvOnline2009.svc?wsdl

Integrate Online TV Links with Your Web Site, Powered By Open Spreety

Category: Current — spreety @ 10:01 am

Spreety TV Online announces an easy way to integrate online TV with your web site.

Los Angeles, CA

Wouldn’t it be great if most web sites included relevant links to TV shows online? Now there is an easy way to add legal links to top TV shows with Spreety TV Online.

Spreety TV Online is pleased to announce the Open Spreety project, which empowers web sites to include dynamically updating links from the Spreety database into their web sites with a simple script.

The Spreety code generator builds custom scripts for quick insertion into a web site’s html. The code generator can deliver visual links via many categories, including Search, Movies, New & Recently Added, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, Action & Adventure, Art & Entertainment, Business, Comedy, Crime, Documentary, Drama & Thriller, Family, Games & Competitions, History, Home & Garden, Horror & Suspense, Kids, Medical, Music & Radio, Mystery, News & Commentary, Reality, Religion & Spirituality, Romance, SciFi & Fantasy, Science, Shopping, Soap Operas, Sports, Superheroes, Talk Shows, Variety, Western, and Youth TV shows.

Display formats are in two sizes: the 670 pixel wide format with show details, and the 93 pixel wide graphic only format to conserve space.

For example, a web site about the 1960’s could spice up their site with links to 1960’s TV shows. The same is true for genre web sites, like western, science fiction, home & garden, sports, mystery, and more.

Fan sites of TV shows would enjoy the zero maintenance aspect of the online TV links. For example, ABC, NBC, and FOX recently changed their links for watching TV shows, and the Spreety database kept in synch. Certain shows switched from one place to another, like Pushing Daisies (ABC to WB) and Medium (NBC to CBS), and the Spreety database kept in synch.

“This is a win-win for everyone involved”, according to Spreety co-founder Ron Laughton. “We created Spreety to educate people about the legal places to watch free TV online, and now we can share through top notch technology.”

Training videos and a custom code generator are available at the following link: http://www.spreety.com/Membership-APIs.aspx
