    You may be tempted to use this number as a loop counter for single accesses to song information, making a series of different calls to this web page to collect all of the song information one song at a time. Doing so will result in a Denial of Sevice Attack on the server, which will prevent your player from working properly. Use the supplied web page for gathering groups of song information in a single pass and then loop internally in your own software.
