we're looking to use the Gracenote API to retrieve similar album from a seed album.

Example

Pearl Jam - Ten

You might like:

Soundgarden - Superunknown Nirvana - Smell Like Teen Spirit etc

We'd need the cover art as well.

We're not looking at the audio player for now, just suggestion on similar album with cover art.

Do we have to use the Rythm API? Is not clear to me since in the website Gracenote talks only about radio station or similar.

Any suggestion idea would be very appreciated!

Best, F.

    Yes, you can try with the Rythm api. Create a seed with that track and artist and use it to create either a recommandation or a radio... This will return a list of tracks that are similar. – Jonx Oct 16 '14 at 21:54

You can do what you're asking by using the recommend method in the Rhythm API:

https://c*******.web.cddbp.net/webapi/json/1.0/radio/recommend?artist_name=pearl%20jam&max_tracks_per_artist=1&select_extended=cover&client=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&user=A_USER_ID

Here's what I get in the first 5 results (excluding Pearl Jam itself):

Nirvana - Nevermind

Soundgarden - Superunknown

Stone Temple Pilots - Purple

The Verve Pipe - Villains

By using select_extended=cover, you'll get a link to the cover art as well.
