I wrote earlier about how I was confused about why someone would base their business on someone else’s APIs. I found this article on Programmable Web about a company called YottaMusic that had done just that and gotten bit by the API owner (Rhapsody) discontinuing support of the API.
You can read their write up and check out other reports.
From what I have read, it sounds like the YottaMusic service was a well-liked enhancement to the Rhapsody service, but they developed their product based on undocumented APIs.
Thoughts? Am I missing the boat on this?
