I've been working on a way to allow users to log into their Apple accounts on iTunes through cloudTunes. I've been Telneting the iTunes Music Store server through port 443 but I'm not sure I'm sending my request to the right place or whether I'm missing some credentials cos it doesn't respond.

Some may have been wondering why the flyTunes application I launched about a month ago has been re-christened "cloudTunes". It's got to do with legal stuff that includes words like "seniour user" and "forward confusion doctrine". The short and simple of it is that I've renamed it because the name "FlyTunes" is being used by FlyTunes.fm and they've expressed their concern about the application having a silimar name to theirs, and because their company references Apple products and services, again, similarity, confusion...

I was getting attached to "flyTunes". I guess cloudTunes isn't so bad, I could get used to it. Jury's till out on the name though... stay *tuned* ;-)

And if you've got a better/cooler/catchier/funkier idea for a name shoot me an email or drop a comment.
