Zune Social WordPress Plugin

This plugin adds three new widgets to your WordPress blog for Zune owners:

  1. The Zune Card (Flash object) from the Zune Social site which shows your recently listened songs, albums, and favorites
  2. A list of songs you recently listened to
  3. A list of your favorite songs

Download:
dg-zunesocial.zip (version 1.2 beta)

The lists can display album art, song names, or both, and are presented as an ordered list for easy styling. This is a widgetized plugin, so you can add any of these things to your widget-enabled theme with a recent version of WordPress from the Presentation menu in your admin area.

For older WordPress installs and non-widget-enabled themes, the following functions are made available to use in your themes (ex: your sidebar.php):

Display a small Zune Card

<?php zunecard(’small’, ‘Your Zune Tag’); ?>

Display a large Zune Card:

<?php zunecard(’small’, ‘Your Zune Tag’); ?>

Display a list of recent or favorite songs:

<?php zune_songs($zunetag, $mode, $limit, $showart); ?>

Options for zune_songs():
     $zunetag: Your Zune Tag
     $mode: Either “recent” or “favorites”
     $limit: Number of songs to display (ex: 5)
     $showart: yes (song name + album art),
          no (song name only),
          only (album art only)

Example to display the 5 last songs you listened to with no album art:

<?php zune_songs(’yourtag’, ‘recent’, 5, ‘no’); ?>

Thank you to Zune for making the Zune Social!

    Do you know if there is an RSS feed for Zune profile data, recent songs, favorited songs, etc? Would love to use that in a Lifestream.
