This is a repost of a few questions I have asked over at the Amazon Web Services Developers Forum but have received no response. Apologies for the fact that there is more than 1 question in a single post but they are all related: -
I'm struggling a bit with some information that, bizarrely, seems to have not been included in the API documentation.
I'm searching for music items and wish to search for CDs and MP3 downloads. I noticed that there are 3 music related SearchIndexes (Music, MP3Downloads and MusicTracks) but the documentation gives no information about what these different search indexes contain. I also notice that, with the Music search index, a valid parameter is Format, but again the documentation doesn't mention anything about valid values for this parameter.
So I'd like to get to the bottom of this to regulate my search results and have a few questions.
- I'm guessing the Music index is just for physical formats as there is a seperate MP3Downloads index, is this true?
- What are the valid values for the Format search parameter?
- What is the MusicTracks search index for as the MP3Downloads index returns both full albums and individual tracks?
