Search Rhapsody.com in IE Context Menu
06/10/2006

I was looking at CD's at Best Buy and thought wouldn't it be great if I could listen to them as I browsed. So when I got home I went to BestBuy.com and started to listen to the artists I found using my Rhapsody subscription. One thing led to another and I ended up with this neat little tool. Now I just highlight text on any webpage, right-click and click "Search Rhapsody.com" from the context-menu.

Download Program (You will only need to restart Internet Explorer to begin using it)

"Search Rhapsody.com" uses the Rhapsody.com Search API like this:

"http://realsearch.real.com/-search?query"="+highlighted Text +"&searchtype=RhapKeyword&size=10&availability=Stream"

Then uses the XML response to open a new window with the results:

"http://www.rhapsody.com/artist?artistId="+artistid
or
"http://www.rhapsody.com/album?albumId="+albumid


The installer adds this registry entry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Search Rhapsody.com]
@="file://c:\\program files\\Rhapsody_context\\Rhapsody_context.js"

and a file called C:\program files\Rhapsody_context\Rhapsody_context.js (this is the complete source code)

Please post back if you like it, or not.
