Template talk:ITunes
Where {{{1}}} is the Music Store URL (right-click a song or album, and select "Copy Music Store URL"). - Doug the Aquacell Guy 09:54, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
- {{{id}}} is the three-part number (separated by &) in the URL, right at the end. ITunes will read whatever the page title is since this can be used for both songs and albums. Enjoy! - Doug the Aquacell Guy 10:27, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
- To avoid headaches, then: URL, for the whole thing. Doug the Aquacell Guy 10:29, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
Revert[edit]
I reverted your change for New York City, as we already have download links for iTunes on the song download pages...I thought that this template is to be used for albums, right? --Duke33 11:13, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
- Just for albums? Couldn't it be used for songs too? - Doug the Aquacell Guy 15:05, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
- We've already got a template widely in use for songs: Template:Download iTunes. --Duke33 15:46, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
- Hey, that's cool. Where would I insert it on the page? Looks like the kind of thing you need a table for. - Doug the Aquacell Guy 19:42, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
- It's already set up for every song. Click Download on the bottom right of any song page. -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 19:44, 23 May 2006 (CDT)

Do you think you should change the Amazon one to appear similar? Not too many people know/care what the ASIN is. Maybe you could just put the one line with the link for each of them under the word "Buy." And now that I realize that even I have a hard time understanding that, I'll show you:
- Buy
- buy this album at [Amazon]
- buy this album at [iTunes]
Makes much more sense with visuals. --badqueso 20:19, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
- Good idea, setting that up now. -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 20:25, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
- Yeah, it looks good. "Purchase" is a much better word. --badqueso 20:28, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
- Alright then. Looks like we got a template :) - Doug the Aquacell Guy 20:51, 23 May 2006 (CDT)

K, implement it on an album page under the ASIN template like so:
{{iTunes|playListId=type_id_here}}
For example, the ID in this URL (for Apollo 18) is 79029259.
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=79029259&s=143441
I've just implemented it on the page Apollo 18 so you can see how it works/looks. Anyway, got to go. -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 14:16, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
- Oh, awesome. What's the s for? Song? - Doug the Aquacell Guy 15:06, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
I noticed that we still have Template:iTunes Stub from when we had the downloads on the individual song pages. It's pretty much the same idea as our new one here but it has a cool pic (
). Should we try to incorporate that into the new template? If so, we'd probably want one for Amazon as well. --badqueso 18:07, 15 Jun 2006 (MDT)
