AOL offers 'RSS feeds' of music information

Your IT - Home IT

AOL has launched a service that enables play lists and other information about music from its AOL Music Now web site to be customised and fed to other sites, like an RSS feed.
The AOL Music Now Web Services developer site (http://developer.aolmusicnow.com) provides tools to enable web developers, bloggers, and individual music fans to add custom feeds of artist, album, chart, play list and other music information from AOL Music Now directly to other sites including their own web site, blog, or AIM Pages beta profile.

According to AOL, the site provides easy to follow instructions and documentation and uses standard RSS feeds. Users can subscribe to AOL Music Now data feeds through My AOL (a compliant RSS feed reader) or website to create and publish dynamically updated music features within sites and applications like email, blogs, social networking pages, and the new AIM Pages service, which is currently in beta.

AOL Music Now is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of AOL. The web-based music subscription service was acquired from Circuit City in November 2005. It gives visitors the option to purchase or subscribe to access more than two million tracks of music from all the major and more than one hundred independent labels. The service is currently in preview and AOL says it expects to go to a full commercial release in mid year.
