Provide a way for artists to aggregate content already posted across the web on third-party services, including ArtistData, Bandcamp, Bandzoogle, Facebook, Soundcloud, Tumblr, Twitter, Vimeo, YouTube, and others. Services such as http://www.onesheet.com/ do this well, but it would make more sense for the artist site to be the hub.

Very tricky stuff!

Maybe having a generic data import / mapping system would be useful here? Since we don't know how third party data will look, but have some control over how data should look locally, we should be able to at least set up a way to allow pluggable import systems for different data sources.

For a simple band site it wouldn't seem like it would be that difficult to do something similar to http://www.onesheet.com/? You should check out that service to see how it works (and how simple it is!).

If I was building a site right now with this requirement I'd try using the Feed module + RSS to pull in external data onto your site, but there are some other modules like Activity Stream which serves a similar purpose.

Re-opening this to continue the conversation under the issue topic "data import/export". Anyone have any good documentation / recipes / experiences with third party aggregation and Drupal?
