Michael Jackson is dominating the iTunes charts:  7 out of 10 top songs, 7 out of 10 top albums, and 9 out of 10 top music videos.

It happend again.  Apple changed the RSS feed format again within the last six weeks.  Now only the raw content is working.   Back in March, the feed was turned off for Flash and ASP.Net access.  Then on April 2nd it started variable pricing, which broke the pricing data on the feed. now this.

(Update) It turned out to be a simple URL change.  I've changed the URL and now everything is working again.

Since 4/7/2009, the prices of the songs on iTunes have be set to "flexible pricing".  The price ranges from $0.69 to $1.29.  One of the side effect is that some prices don't show up on our feed.  I suspect that because record labels wanted to be able to change the prices at any given time, the advertised price may become out-of sync with the actual price on the iTunes.  Apple has decided to remove the pricing information all together for Songs and Albums.

I'm moving content manually from the old server to the new one.  It is much more involved then I originally thouhgt.  But I have to do .   Not only the HTML codes, images, but also converting codes from ASP.NET 2.0 to PHP.  In a way, it is moving backwards because we are limited to use PHP 5, not any of the application framework like CakePHP.  I also have to do "301 forwarding" so all the old links would still work when people search from Google or Yahoo.  The most popular content have now been migrated to the new server.
