[uf-new] Grabb.it support for hAudio

[Gregory Borenstein]

Hello,

I'm one of the founders of Grabb.it, an online music player and search  
engine. With Martin's help, Grabb.it recently switched all of our user  
pages to use hAudio markup. These pages aggregate each user's comments  
and favorite songs. For example, here's mine:

In addition to using hAudio, we also designed our markup to integrate  
with the Yahoo Media Player (http://yahoomediaplayer.wikia.com). It  
was nice to discover that the two formats are compatible (all that was  
required to achieve YMP compatibility was an additional class on the  
enclosure link and some strategic use of its title attribute).

Grabb.it has a large database of tracks found online and a few  
thousand users producing mp3 blogs based on them. I don't know quite  
how many tracks this adds up to marked up in hAudio but it's  
definitely in the thousands. And, obviously, with an account anyone  
can now easily produce hAudio markup of any of our songs simply by  
marking it as a favorite or writing a comment on it.

I've also submitted a patch to the maintainers of Mofo, a Ruby library  
for parsing microformats that adds hAudio support to that library.  
Hopefully, I'll be able to notify this list soon of its acceptance. At  
that point, Grabb.it will also read hAudio markup wherever we come  
across it.

Thanks for your work on this format.

yours,

Greg Borenstein
