RecordFinder plugin for MuseScore

Given a music score loaded in MuseScore, the RecordFinder plugin will search Last.fm for performances of that particular piece. This enables the user to find performances by different artists of a particular song, or to find different remixes of a song. A list of links to Last.fm song pages is displayed, which the user can click on to be lead onto that track page, have the ability to listen to (a snippet of) the song, and/or buy it.

The Ultra Alpha version of this plugin, hacked together at SF MusicHackDay, can be downloaded and used at your own risk by clicking this link. There is a small readme file inside, please read that first. For a good corpus of files to test it, check out http://www.wikifonia.org .

Possible future add-ons:

- Work on the GUI, display results in different pages, add more information and buttons instead of the plain list of links it is now... I used MusicHackDay as an opportunity to get to know the different available APIs, web programming and Qt plugin framework, none of which I knew before and it unfortunately shows.

- Use the 7digital API to be able to buy the song directly from MuseScore

- Use SongKick or BandsInTown APIs to be able to find concerts where a particular artist will perform, and/or buy tickets for them
