Linking to the iTunes Music Store

The blog world is buzzing this morning over new information on how to link to items within Apple’s new iTunes Music Store. Todd Dominey has a clear description: “The basic structure of the hyperlink is:
itms://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/advancedSearchResults
From there, there are four possible variables that can be passed in the query — songTerm, artistTerm, albumTerm, and composerTerm. So say you wanted to link to music by Beck. You would enter:
itms://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/advancedSearchResults ?artistTerm=Beck
If your artist name has two or more words in it, insert %20 in place of the white space.”
