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.
