In-Depth Information
On the front page, look for the New Arrivals section. You can browse recent
listings by genre, state, and how recently new material was added to the
site (from the last seven to the last 30 days). here are no RSS feeds for this
page, but it's a perfect candidate for a page monitor. Just look out for pop-up
ads—IUMA has a lot of them.
MP3
MP3 (mp3.com/) started out as a rather small site, then it broke out to be
one of the darlings of the Internet era, and then it self-imploded like so
many other companies, and then it died, and then CNET brought it back.
Like IUMA, MP3.com contains information and songs from thousands of
artists in dozens of genres. Unlike IUMA, some of these artists are very
high proile. Videos are available at the site as well. MP3.com does not have
an easy way to check on new additions like IUMA does, but you can go to
the Listening Room, which ofers new music streams as they're added to the
site. MP3.com also ofers charts of the most popular music in each genre;
those are also candidates for page-monitoring sotware.
MP3.com has current popular artists as well as other music; IUMA has
lesser known, but still current artists. But, as you might expect, there are lots
of other kinds of music out there, like music that is more than a few years
old. While it's an utter fallacy that everything that's ever been recorded is
already on the Internet (though that would be nice), there really is already
an astonishing amount of old music digitized. You can ind a lot of it at the
Internet Archive.
Internet Archive
Audio is only one part of the Internet Archive (archive.org). It also contains
cached Web pages, video, and text. However, the audio part of the Internet
Archive is a collection in and of itself. You'll ind recordings of live concerts,
open sourced recording labels, presidential recordings, and a lot more. And
wonder of wonders, there are RSS feeds available for the most recent addi-
tions to the archive!
A lot of what you'll ind at the Internet Archive is esoteric to say the least;
if you're interested in only the latest and most popular stuf you don't want
to monitor the Internet Archive for new music. But if you are looking for
new music of a lot of diferent types, or especially live music archives,
monitor this site.
