This code displays the Top 50 artists XML feed from last.fm in a nice presentable way on your website. Can easily be modified to work with any other feed from last.fm, find the full guide at http://www.strydominc.za.net/index.php?p=projectdetail&d=phplastfmchart

From a previous snippet, you can play any sound file
(including midi) with pys60.
http://bigbold.com/snippets/posts/show/400

Now, what if you can generate a midi file as well?
I found a pure python midi file library.
http://www.mxm.dk/products/public/pythonmidi

I modify it a bit, just to make a single file for easy download.
http://larndham.net/service/pys60/smidi.py
With it, you can play a single note with the following code.

>>> import smidi
>>> m = smidi.MidiOutFile('C:\\out.mid')
>>> m.header()
>>> m.start_of_track()
>>> m.update_time(0)
>>> m.note_on(note=0x40)  # single note
>>> m.update_time(192)
>>> m.note_off(note=0x40) # stop it after 192
>>> m.update_time(0)
>>> m.end_of_track()
>>> m.eof()

>>> from audio import Sound
>>> s = Sound.open('C:\\out.mid')
>>> s.play()
>>> s.close()

These 10 lines can be made into a simple function.
Then, you can just type a line and play any note you like
on you mobile phone.

>>> from smidi import play
>>> play([(64,192), (32, 192)])

Ah... so pythonic. ^_^

py_s60 1.1.3 provides audio module which allow you to
play sound. This should let people write some fun games.

Here's a quick example.

from audio import *
f = 'C:\\Nokia\\Sounds\\Digital\\28050.amr'
s = Sound.open(f)
s.play()

I have tried calling Sound.open(f).play() directly, but
it doesn't seem to work. I may be waiting for file loading
or wait for some callback. I don't know.

You can play it many times or repeat forever

s.play(3) # 3 times
s.play(KMdaRepeatForever) # or just use -2
s.stop() # Ok, enough of it
