iTunes Offers RSS Feeds

Posted by pudge on from the money-maker dept.

TheChocolatay writes "iTunes is now offering RSS Feeds for the latest happenings in the Music Store. Users can set up their parameters for a feed at Apple's iTunes Music Store RSS Generator. After you have set your parameters, just sit back as the news and track listings are sent to your favorite RSS Reader."

    I see all the feeds are coming from ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net - Akamai's caching URL for ax.phobos.apple.com

    This looks like a big mistake - what happens if they want to use a different caching service, or Akamai goes bust? All the feeds will die.

    This is yet just another thing that shows how bit iTunes is. An RSS feed? Not that it's the hardest thing to do, but I'm not aware of any other music services having that (am I missing anyone?). Apple keeps doing little things here and there that make their products and services the standard to follow.
