A couple of years ago, a website for a band was a nice touch: it was a helpful tool, but hardly a necessity. Sure, you could slap some news onto the web, and perhaps a few hastily edited photos and, if you were really slick, some MP3s. But it was hardly a requirement. It was far more important to have an update-to-date mailing list. The web, sadly, was an afterthought.
A few links and pictures just won't cut it anymore. People expect more from the web, and your fans expect more from your website. They want news, blogs, shows information on your discography, and lots more. And they want a site that looks good doing it.
That's where Audition comes in. Audition keeps track of every piece of information a band might ever want to display on its website, and allows visitors easy searchable access to it. Setup and customization is easy: if you're the one responsible for your site, you can setup Audition; if you've ever used a message board or read webmail, you can use it, too.
