for keeping track of my digital experiments

I never really did like running iTunes as my music player, instead I have been running MediaMonkey. iTunes is rather resource intensive (powering all the eyecandy), does not have the organizational tools that other media players have, and just is not available on linux (niether is MediaMonkey, but I digress). The only merit that iTunes has is its store and podcast content. And as of last month a new web application has solved this codundrium. Via app-store.appspot.com, you can now browse the iTunes media content without the iTunes media player. Props to the guys who wrote this web application and props to Google for making public the Google App Engine.
