[...] It seems that either there is an issue with Yahoo pipes that effects both Amazon Wishlists and Zune plays, or the upgrade for the ZuneHD broke this RSS feed (I suspect the latter). Regardless, RSS feed has not been updated since the middle of Spetember. There isn’t a new pipe yet so I’ve had to revert to an older RSS feed to http://socialapi.zune.net/members/member id XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX]/playlists/BuiltIn-RecentTracks. You’ll still need to figure out your Zune Member GUID. [...]

Hmmm, looks like with the release of Zune 4.0 something in the pipes have broken. The http://socialapi.zune.net Atom feed is still working. Any chance of a fix?

Phil, thanks. Such data’s rendered at http://social.zune.net/music/ so it’s certainly aggregated, but I don’t know if it’s exposed via Atom protocol anywhere. I don’t have Zune client handy… doesn’t the same info show in Zune client? If so, the data must be visible on the wire, and IIRC all the data between Zune client & Zune service, except for streaming, is sitting on Atom.

Sweet post, kudos, anyone know if its possible to use a wild card and get the aggregate from all users? so the top 5 most played tracks for example?

Thanks

I updated the pipe to now insert a search link for songs that do not have the correct id values (they come up with all zeros).

It is nice that you can use your username now.

So there are three playlists

BuiltIn-RecentTracks
BuiltIn-FavoriteTracks
BuiltIn-MostPlayedArtists

i built a new yahoo pipes thingy for recent tracks, and added the date info.

Hey Ron, this is still working for me since the 3.0 update. What specifically changed? (Yes, Zune Cards are different, but it doesn’t seem to affect this pipe.)

And Paul, thanks for finding that you can use your member name instead of a GUID. That works for me too.

Interesting find here, but…seems they’ve changed the way Zune Cards work since you did this…good ol’ MSFT.

I was able to get it working with the text representation of my member id (whit98c).

Thanks for this! I added it to my friendfeed http://friendfeed.com/paulwhit
