Testing blip.fm search
Trying to reproduce functionality from http://www.fuzz.com/singleFile from this blog post.
In theory it should be simple - just create a link of the form http://blip.fm/home?q=searchstring , where searchstring should contain %20 instead of spaces (that is the string should be escaped - all special symbols replaced).
Let's try
Blip this
It's working! Showing 3 records to select from.
But the problem is that you need to know that blip.fm will be able to find your selection. Since we don't know what is search machine behind blip.fm, we never know before we try it.

I can't blip Lula nor Wayne Jackson nor WebOfDistress for example!
It is just invoking search in Blip.fm externally. If you can do a search for Lula in Blip.fm then you should be able to do the same with http://blip.fm/home?q=Lula externally.
like this one:
http://blip.fm/home?q=Lula%20Perfect%20Day
BTW: Saw her and Wayne Jackson live in concert yesterday - both of them were amazing - but can't blip this - sucks!!!
(except it is not my tool - blip.fm, I am just trying to undertand it from what I can see in [url=http://www.fuzz.com/singleFile).]http://www.fuzz.com/singleFile).[/url]
You are lucky to see Lula and Wayne live!
