Method for determining when to update the catalog

I depend on the "Last-Modified" field from the header of the "Catalog.zip" file to know when i need to re-download the catalog.

however, it seems that this date-stamp changes every single time i access it.

can you fix that? or is there some OTHER file i need to check the date stamp on in order to know when the catalog is out of date?

take 1: note the time stamp

    0: http://api.karaokecloud.com/catalog/Catalog.zip
    0: Type: <CFDictionary>, Value: <<CFBasicHash 0x5c36860 [0xac727840]>{type = mutable dict, count = 9,
entries =>
	1 : Case Insensitive Key: Etag = <CFString 0x5c40c50 [0xac727840]>{contents = ""cca6262eab2cd1:0""}
	2 : Case Insensitive Key: Last-Modified = <CFString 0x5c3abc0 [0xac727840]>{contents = "Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:53:20 GMT"}

take 2: one minute later:

    0: http://api.karaokecloud.com/catalog/Catalog.zip
    0: Type: <CFDictionary>, Value: <<CFBasicHash 0x1e5ecbd0 [0xac727840]>{type = mutable dict, count = 9,
entries =>
	1 : Case Insensitive Key: Etag = <CFString 0x1e5e91e0 [0xac727840]>{contents = ""1cb64f8deab2cd1:0""}
	2 : Case Insensitive Key: Last-Modified = <CFString 0x1ce699b0 [0xac727840]>{contents = "Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:54:32 GMT"}

mark free songs as "free" in the Catalog.zip

user can preview without signing up for streaming

as discussed, kjams will provide a 20 second preview

I need to know the proper method. Will you add:

kJSON_Use_PREVIEW  = 3

? if so, then you may want to actually only serve up HALF the mp3+cdg. Literally just cut the file off half way thru. cuz otherwise this could be exploited to download the library without paying.

KJ user can subscribe to streaming-only tier

"unlimited" user can pre-download library

I need to know the proper method for doing this. eg: for the "Use" parameter, you specify these values:

kJSON_Use_DOWNLOAD = 0
kJSON_Use_STREAM   = 1

So may i assume that you will add:

kJSON_Use_TETHER   = 2

? Or what is the proper way to request songs for tethering?

The new $99 tier allows you to download all the songs

then how will you (your server) differentiate between tethering and streaming a song? ie: if i am to use kJSON_Use_STREAM to pre-download the tether'd songs, then this makes it so you can't differentiate between streams and tether-downloads. i think for your records you will like to have this differentiation in your logs so that you can do proper analytics / royalty payments.

is there online documentation for all calls i can make?

??

Not right now. We are just sending examples specific to questions

is it true there are only 3007 songs?

Solved. --More songs were added last night. However, they did discover that some files may not have been uploaded.

user can recover account number based on email and some other validation

pending. Implemented.
seems that all that is needed is the email address and password for the account and you're in. on your web site, you already have a "i forgot my password" workflow, so this seems like it's all set.

how to specify "use voucher credit" vs. "use credit card"

Solved. in my "developer account" i have eg: $100 in voucher credits.
in the "PaymentMethod" field, i currently specify "0" as the number, and it works now, deducting from the credits shown. will it be that credit cards will have a number > 0?

-- Voucher credits are always used before credit card. If a voucher code can't cover the full amount, the credit card takes over.

user can create new account

pending Solved.

user can subscribe to one of two tiers

pending Solved.
