The method of the preferred embodiment is preferably incorporated into an online media store that provides media associated with particular performers (such as songs, audiobooks, podcasts, music videos, short films, TV shows, sporting events, and movies). Because the online media store offers the media content, they are in a “trusted” position to offer other services, such as the notification of live events.
