Deciwave - Robot Rocking for Google Wave

Last Sunday I built a little robot for Google Wave which allows to embed music players from GoEar, Jamendo and The Sixty One: Deciwave.

It was really simple, once I got the Gadget API and its inners, to be able to replace a blip with the players. When I made one player I was so amazed that I integrated all my frequent music sites.

If you want to use it, just add deciwave@appspot.com to your wave, create a new blip and paste a share URL on it.



I want to add more music players, so I'm open to suggestions, although my next integration is going to be the Jamendo Album player, to add full albums in your waves (maybe it would be useful to RPG sessions music background!).

Happy wave rocking!

  1. i like the idea of your bot, especially because i am a fan of soundcloud and thesixtyone. i noticed a problem with an embed - it floats over dropdown menus. before i found your bot i used the HTML gadget to embed a soundcloud song, and i had the same problem with dropdown menus, specifically wave dropdowns like contacts and search. i searched online to find out how to fix it, and discovered the fix is with wmode="transparent"
