On similar lines, I wrote an unofficial API for Amazon's CloudPlayer: https://github.com/mwylde/cloud_player.

Might be cool to write a DAAP client that uses this so you get your Google Music inside of iTunes as a shared library. If I wasn't so loaded with stuff right now I might start a project. Oh, heck maybe I'll do it anyway.

Best idea I've heard all day. Let me know if you end up doing this, I'd love to help out.

I've started this: https://github.com/dpogue/gmusic-daap

Unfortunately the DAAP library I started with doesn't support some of the options that iTunes looks for. It works with Rhythmbox and Banshee on Linux, and someone told me that it worked with an Android DAAP client.

Unlike the API posted here, which emulates requests from the web interface, mine is based on the internal API used by Google's Android client.

Oh nice. How far is it and did you stop because of this? Should I rather be looking into contributing to your project?

Personally, I don't like the 'gmapi' name since 'gm' could be Google Music or Google Maps, though this is obvious a bit nit-picky.

That's a good point, actually; I hadn't thought of that. Maybe "gmusicapi" would be a better choice? Anyone else got an opinion?

gmuapi / GMuAPI?
