RSS For Your Ears?
Just ran across this cool aggregator. It’s called earFeeder by sonicswap. It scans your system for music and automagically detects your favorite artists. Then it generates an RSS newsfeed tailored to you. It subscribes to those feeds so you never miss anything about your favorite artists. The feed contains news, new releases, announcements of ticket presales, and more. Oh yes – it’s free.
UPDATE: Many of you have said how impressed you are with this program. How do you feel about it now that you’ve used it for a few days? Any compliments or gripes?
I just tried this and it is really good. It works so easily. Nice find and a great use of RSS.
Yes it is a great use of RSS! I like it too.
increasing rss use.

Yes, Filipe – RSS is increasing in use all the time!
whoa cathy this is fantastic stuff! thanks for posting this. i guess the magic word here is “free” and it makes me wonder sometimes how they actually make money

Admin, monetisation could come through affiliate ticket sales.
Two things – first, this is a beta version. If it’s successful watch for a super-duper paid version.
Two – they do have a ’shopping’ page http://www.sonicswap.com/member/swap/buy_from_our_partners.jsp where they are very honest telling people that they earn a commission from the sales. I like that – they are up front about it and not flamboyant. You have to look down at the bottom of the home page to find the link to the shopping page.
