Wouldn’t you want hundreds of people to be updated the moment you publish a news update? RSS feeds aren’t a new concept yet it’s rarely used by bands and record labels. Though many music fans may not use RSS Feed Readers to follow their bands, enough would if bands and labels made them

If more label and band websites made RSS feeds available, music blogs would have an easier time staying updated and finding your news updates without having to visit your site. Consider that if a typical music blog covers 1,000 bands each year (I made that number up too), there’s no way a blog can check 1,000 websites every day to see if any news worthy updates have been posted. RSS feeds make it more likely that music blogs will pick up on your news.

Providing an RSS feed also enables you to import your news stories into your social networking sites around the web, turning your updates into Facebook notes, for example.
