I know Adam a bit.  Not a lot yet.  But he's smart.  Damn smart.  He runs Radio under Linux using VMWare (yes -- it is possible -- and that's cool).  And he's a fellow PHP guy that is tinkering around with RSS.  Here's his latest: 26,747 New RSS Feeds Available. Taking to heart what Paolo said yesterday about aggregators not just reading news I sat down and wrote some PHP to turn all 26k+ artists on discogs (the most comprehensive electronic music database) into RSS feeds. You can use this page to find an artist, I've provided auto-subscription links for both Radio and AmphetaDesk users. So when a new release is added to discogs.com by an artist you are subscribed to it will show up in your aggregator. The next step is to tweak this a bit and allow you to subscribe to the 6,000+ record labels. [Adam Wendt's Agnostic Audiophile Smorgasborg Good job.  Thanks! 6:31:23 AM
