I'd say go with Ruby for both of 'em, but do the audio app first, to get you used to thinking in Ruby. One of the most powerful things about Ruby is that it makes it super-easy to do a quick prototype to see if an idea is going to work, and then fill in the details afterwards. You could certainly use that to great advantage in the web-store app. --Dave
