Hello,

I'm one of the founders of Grabb.it, an online music player and search engine. With Martin's help, Grabb.it recently switched all of our user pages to use hAudio markup. These pages aggregate each user's comments and favorite songs. For example, here's mine:

In addition to using hAudio, we also designed our markup to integrate with the Yahoo Media Player (http://yahoomediaplayer.wikia.com). It was nice to discover that the two formats are compatible (all that was required to achieve YMP compatibility was an additional class on the enclosure link and some strategic use of its title attribute).

Grabb.it has a large database of tracks found online and a few thousand users producing mp3 blogs based on them. I don't know quite how many tracks this adds up to marked up in hAudio but it's definitely in the thousands. And, obviously, with an account anyone can now easily produce hAudio markup of any of our songs simply by marking it as a favorite or writing a comment on it.

I've also submitted a patch to the maintainers of Mofo, a Ruby library for parsing microformats that adds hAudio support to that library. Hopefully, I'll be able to notify this list soon of its acceptance. At that point, Grabb.it will also read hAudio markup wherever we come across it.

Thanks for your work on this format.

yours,

Greg Borenstein
