MSN Music supports RSS

Microsoft’s new music service supports RSS feeds with top 100 songs, albums and artists. The feed also contains a link to a 30 sec clip of the song. It defines a tag called "enclosure" for inserting the link to the song within RSS.

But one needs to use IE and the song can be played in MSN Media Player.



Thanks to Danny Ayers for the link.
