The job is left to the record labels (and video companies like Warner Home Video, Sony, etc.). Each company has to dedicate staff to updating Wal-Mart's product pages of their own releases. How's THAT for bullying the market place? Wal-Mart is sooo powerful that if you want your stuff sold on their website, YOU have to supply the artwork, track listings, etc. They don't lift a finger and don't even have 'customer' support.

The idea is that you'll get tons more hits from people looking for music. It seemed a bit desperate but I tried it once anyway and didn't have a friend request for two weeks, so I went back. Meta tags in your html still work better than just about anything else. Certain myspace afficianados suggest putting the word ‘music’ after your url name if you’re a music act.

I know because I recently helped THE CARS and TRACI LORDS get their url's back.
