Limitations
- Currently my program doesn't support the concept of cookies. Therefore, you will not be able to get any music from websites like mp3.com and emusic.com.
August 3, 2002 - As it turns out www.mp3.com not only requires the support of cookies, but also the support for Javascript. As I don't want to put a JavaScript parser/runner into my code, I will likely only support reduced functionality on www.mp3.com (i.e. only allowing the user to start on certain pages on www.mp3.com).
- In my desire to keep the program's jar file as small as possible, I've removed all images... therefore, the program isn't as "fun" looking as most current programs.
- My program does not interpret/understand javascript or other scripting languages used on webpages. Therefore, if a link is created using javascript, my program will not traverse to that webpage. However, if the link in the scripting language is explicitly stated on one line and without interuptions my program will find it - for example:
var linkToAnotherWebPage = "http://www.google.com";
as my program has been configured to look for any strings on a webpage that start with "http://".
