We’ve had the privilege of working with a lot of great people lately, including Adam Foley over at Redlight Management on a couple different projects – the full UNKLE site and this new widget for Ki:Theory.
The basic idea here is that Ki:Theory is giving away a couple albums and EPs free on kitheory.com and was looking for a cool way to do it. They wanted fans to be able to stream previews of the album and ep tracks right on the site, as well as add either the full release or individual tracks to a cart and download everything at once.
So, after a bit of brainstorming on the best way to do this, we came up with the little widget you see below. Check it out on kitheory.com to see it in action and download Arms For Legs and Brittle Branches for free right now.
This little widget uses Topspin‘s awesome cart and digital download system, Soundcloud‘s great little play widgets and audio hosting, PayPal‘s donation button, Twitter and Facebook share tools, and jQuery‘s fancy tabs and fades to create a pretty quick and easy listening, downloading, donating and sharing experience all in one. Compact but powerful, lightweight but with a big impact.
