ArtistData Expands Free Music Data Synch Service

ArtistData, which I named one of the Top 10 Indie Music Marketing Tools has expanded its free service that enables bands to enter shows once to have their calendars updated on MySpace, Virb, Pure Volume and other sites. New feature include:

• Website Widget: users can add a customizable calendar widget to their website making it possible to update their site, MySpace, and other sites at the same time through the ArtistData Dashboard.
• iCal Subscription: ArtistData users who like to keep their tour schedule up-to-date in their desktop calendar program can now view their calendar in Microsoft Outlook, Apple iCal, and more!
• CSV Export with SonicBids support: Users can now export the shows they’ve entered in…

ArtistData in two formats: Standard CSV and SonicBids® CSV. The
Standard CSV will contain all artist show information. The SonicBids
CSV will generate a file that is compatible with SonicBids calendar
template.

• RSS Feeds: ArtistData has made RSS feeds available for each
  artist’s shows, allowing them to use this data in a wider array of
  places.

ArtistData also announced the expansion of its
free data-sharing network with the following new partners: BandsInTown,
BlueHaze, GrooveShark, and Supernova. These new additions join
ArtistData’s already robust network, which includes MySpace,
PureVolume, Virb, Jambase, and Eventful.
