On the shiny exterior, the new iTunes LP may seem like some sort of fancy proprietary format. In actuality it's an image-heavy, JavaScript-driven webpage that only renders correctly in iTunes or, with a bit of hackery, WebKit-based browsers such as Safari, Omniweb, or Google's Chrome.

there's an extraordinary number of images—in fact, the majority of the text is made up of images! Some users have complained that they can't scrape for the lyrics in each song because they are handled this way.

The last bit of interesting information is the inclusion of a font .svg file. Not every browser supports this feature, and WebKit only added the compatibility recently. SVG is the future--accept it, or be consumed.

The iTunes LP format can be as complicated or as simple as one wishes. The Dave Matthew's Band LP that we used was quite complicated, but the Door's LP looks much simpler by comparison. While the format is no doubt aimed at the big guys, I have very little question that someone could easily make his or her own LP and distribute it.
