Buying MP3s within Subsonic

I know this probably would create a couple of issues. But, I've always wanted an easier more streamlined way of purchasing MP3s. Right now I buy them on Amazon then upload them to my media server. But always thought that there could be an easier way of doing that by building a front end for Amazon MP3 (Amazon has no public API as far as I can tell) or some other content provider within Subsonic. This could also create a potential revenue stream from commissions. -- Just a thought.

+1 on this feature. Not sure how it could best be done, but I find myself having to VNC into my mac mini running Subsonic, opening iTunes and ten buying the music so it can show up in Subsonic. Would be WAY easier and awesome if I could just buy the music through my Subsonic App for Android or even through the web interface would be cool. I hear so many songs on the radio that I want to buy and use Shazam to find the artist, but then have to go to iTunes to buy it. Would love to give a portion of my purchases to something like Subsonic as a pss through either to iTunes or Amazon. Would welcome some other possible solutions.

This could even represent a new revenue stream for SubSonic if the songs are purchased from an affiliate site reselling music! This could be huge.

Please excuse the necromancing, but I felt I could add something to the discussion. This is entirely possible now, since a project called clamz has managed to interpret the AMZ files yielded by purchases on the website to download the songs contained within the order. From a software development perspective, implementing this functionality in Subsonic could therefore involve simply wrapping the clamz tool (as already happens for the transcoding functionality), or using clamz as a reference implementation.

Is anybody interested in working on an implementation of this?
