Add provider Internet Archive (archive.org)

[4www]

Why

The archive.org project is accessible and available to any/every-one. It is almost even possible to have it as a soundcloud / mixcloud alternative; it is as well technically clear and interesting.

The data from archive.org is available in json:

Summary API: https://archive.org/help/json.php
Detailed API: https://archive.org/services/docs/api/index.html

This URL address: https://archive.org/details/AphexTwinAllUser18081971SoundcloudTracks/146-0204-5HeliosphanLive.mp3
Is available as json, by suffixing a query parameter &output=json, like so: https://archive.org/details/AphexTwinAllUser18081971SoundcloudTracks/146-0204-5HeliosphanLive.mp3&output=json

User bookmarks are also available https://archive.org/bookmarks/igortned15&output=json so we could imagine displaying your favorite items on r4 (distant but possible future, which gives credit the Internet Archive as media and list provider).

To be studied as a media streaming provider, and also download endpoint.

Fig 1. where else do you get such an attractive list of formats/methods to download/share?

Fig 2. they already have a nice player, and their distribution format can integrate with Webamp (winamp for web). Why not making the radio4000-player work well (which might already be the case) with lists build from the archive.org data (as an exercise for software-improvement and context-agnosticity)
