Yahoo! Query Language (YQL)
I thought this was great. Yahoo! Query Language lets you access many web APIs using a (mostly) standardized SQL-like language. Currently, you can access:
Recently, I used it for the "Recent Forum Posts" and "Latest News" sections on the new NiftyHost.us website. YQL has a 'feed' table that parses RSS and Atom feeds for you quickly and easily. This allowed me to set up those sections in a matter of minutes. Hi! I'm Zach, and I founded NiftyHost. If you need anything, just PM me! :)

RE: Yahoo! Query Language (YQL)
Well, here's the code I use in my functions files to make it work in the first place:
PHP Code: <?php To experiment with YQL and discover new tables, use the YQL Console at http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/. You can also use that to find the structure of the results which yql_query would return from each table. Here's an example of using YQL to get the latest news from the NiftyHost Forums and to display it as an unordered list: PHP Code: <?php Hi! I'm Zach, and I founded NiftyHost.

RE: Yahoo! Query Language (YQL)
The only music thing it can access at this point in time appears to be Yahoo! Music. You can look around in the console and play with tables.
