Some nice steps forward are being taken by multiple music industry websites and resources. Bandcamp added music feeds to fan accounts which should deepen participation in their developing social platform. BitTorrent Bundle for Publishers opened to its first applicants. And music industry directory Giggem introduced venue and promoter profiles.

**Bandcamp Debuts Music Feeds for Fan Accounts**

[Bandcamp](http://bandcamp.com/?ref=hypebot.com), one of the leaders in the DIY/indie music tech space, deepens the fan experience of the site with the introduction of [music feeds](http://blog.bandcamp.com/2013/09/19/strap-on-your-feed-bag/?ref=hypebot.com):

"Your music feed shows you the activity of all the fans and artists you follow, and lets you listen to their picks and new releases instantly. You’ll see when someone you follow buys an album, and you can listen to their favorite track and see what they had to say about it. We’ll show you when someone new starts following you and let you explore their collection."

"And we’ll even give you a heads up when someone you don’t follow buys one of your more niche records, because clearly that’s a person with exceptional taste whose collection you’ll want to check out too."

This is a great extension of what they're already [doing with fan accounts](https://www.hypebot.com/bandcamp-adds-social-layer-via-fan-accounts/) and nicely designed, as you can see from this Bandcamp [screenshot of a music feed](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3a/95/3a957c06-c825-4057-9939-0a274cc16d23/content/images/bandcampblog-files-wordpress-com/2013/09/musicfeed.jpg?ref=hypebot.com).

**BitTorrent Bundle for Publishers Enters Closed Alpha**

This week [BitTorrent Bundle](http://bundles.bittorrent.com/?ref=hypebot.com) entered closed alpha but that's not as off-putting as it may sound! What they're doing is giving access to bundle creation to those who've [signed up](http://bundles.bittorrent.com/signup/?ref=hypebot.com) and thus are opening it to creators beyond the curated projects featured to date.

The BitTorrent blog has [screenshots and more info](http://blog.bittorrent.com/2013/09/24/now-live-bittorrent-bundle-for-publishers-closed-alpha/?ref=hypebot.com)

**Giggem Adds Venue and Promoter Profiles**

[Giggem](http://www.giggem.com/welcome?ref=hypebot.com), a music industry directory, [initially launched](https://www.hypebot.com/free-musician-matchmaking-platform-giggem-launches/) featuring musicians, bands, songwriters, managers and labels. They then added a [band audition feature](https://www.hypebot.com/giggem-adds-audition-management-feature-to-music-industry-matchmaking-platform/) to extend the "matchmaking" concept.

Last week Giggem announced the debut of Venue and Promoter profiles as the next step in building out the industry directory.
