Search via RSS

Does anybody know a web service like Amazon but allows you to search by RSS or just give their product listings in RSS, by products i am referring to only music.

Atm I am working on a personal program which runs on my PC, the program works by getting the song playing on the radio (radio stations are plugable, written in C#) and then getting the information about that song. Atm it just gets the torrent link for the song if it exists using mininova Then submits all that to a web app which stores in a db. Here is a sort of working example http://zproducts.co.uk/playing/, atm it only has two stations BBC Radio 1 and Magic FM.

I would like to display a link to purchase the music aswell but I can't find any web services which will allow you to search their products using RSS.
I know Amazon has something which allows you to search by tags but the products on there are very very limited since they are tagged by humans, so not all their products will be available by that system.

Edit: XML will do aswell
