Gracenote Rhythm API - is it possible to stream it with web audio?

Question

I just started to discover interesting Gracenote Rhythm API - https://developer.gracenote.com/rhythm-api

It says that it includes metadata, music recognition and an Internet Radio API, but I didn't find any possiblity to stream it with for example Web Audio API, there's no MP3 or OGG url in response:

{
"RESPONSE": [{
    "STATUS": "OK",
    "RADIO": [{
        "ID": "1ce6bca226a53326e7bf343dcd168001"
    }],
    "ALBUM": [{
        "ORD": "1",
        "GN_ID": "19878820-CE6C56D99EC0AAE76E9CAE6BE78DF1C9",
        "TRACK_COUNT": "11",
        "ARTIST": [{
            "VALUE": "The Strokes"
        }],
        "TITLE": [{
            "VALUE": "Is This It?"
        }],
        "TRACK": [{
            "TRACK_NUM": "7",
            "GN_ID": "19878827-EBD633D92DFF541BE3DAAF1256F89E93",
            "TITLE": [{
                "VALUE": "Last Night"
            }]
        }]
    }, {
        "ORD": "2",
        "GN_ID": "254058859-822479DA624C6A3C36345E571D395017",
        "TRACK_COUNT": "11",
        "ARTIST": [{
            "VALUE": "The Black Keys"
        }],
        "TITLE": [{
            "VALUE": "El Camino"
        }],
        "TRACK": [{
            "TRACK_NUM": "1",
            "GN_ID": "254058860-5E702E9D83A960AB46E5A6EEDB21D9DD",
            "TITLE": [{
                "VALUE": "Lonely Boy"
            }]
        }]
    },
...

Maybe I'm missing something.. is there a way to stream this so-called "Internet Radio"?

P.S. I've googled some node.js modules related to internet radio and all the things I've found are modules like https://github.com/fwg/node-radio-stream which works with Icecast and Shoutcast..

Thanks!

Thanks for checking it out. The Rhythm API generates personalized radio channels, which are defined as a sequence of songs. It does not provide playback capability itself.

You can look into streaming audio APIs such as Spotify (http://developer.spotify.com), Rdio (http://developer.rdio.com), Beats Music (http://developer.beatsmusic.com) and others for audio playback.
