SEO for URL paramaters
I"m creating a Spotify clone of open.spotify.com.
I will use it to stream live recordings of bands that allow taping (i.e. jam bands).
I have pages that use URL paramaters to fill data.
So for example you have artist.php?id=1 and it fills the artist data.
Do I need to create a sitemap of every GET id for the site?
If the GET ID isn't set then it redirects to index or 404.

It there is a page that does the display an index of all these artists, a search engine robot will be able to crawl these pages without a sitemap.

Bernard - could you expand on this?
Particularly I was thinking about displaying a shit ton of content for each artist and using jQuery to hide most of it.
Would this help my rankings?

I think, its better for you to redirect your dynamic urls to search engines friendly url's. It will helps to improve your website crawling and indexing
