Established artists and unsigned bands alike use MySpace Music to
get their songs out there and connect with fans. It's a special section
of the MySpace Web site (along the line of eBay Motors within eBay) with
music-related features. At MySpace Music, adding a really cool song to
your musical playlist is easy. Visit Myspace Music
http://music.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music and find a
song you want to add. If the artist has given permission to share the
music, you'll see an "Add" link next to the song. Click "Add" and the
song will play on your profile! Only one song can be added to your
profile at one time. If you want to change songs, simply find another
song and click "Add." To remove the song, go to Home >> Edit Profile >>
Profile Songs and click "Delete." MySpace Music's process of selection
for featured artists is done on an editorial basis, meaning that they
feature bands who are getting particular attention on the site from the
users and are contributing new or interesting music. You must have a
Band/Artist profile in order to upload your music. Once you have created
a Band/Artist profile, click 'Edit Profile' > 'Manage Songs' tab, and
then upload the mp3 in question. For unsigned artists, MySpace's
social-networking setup is ideal. Local bands have always developed a
following through word of mouth. With MySpace, they have instant access
to potential fans outside their geographic region. A Pittsburgh band can
end up in the Friend Space of someone in Italy in a matter of minutes.
And MySpace offers the most valuable asset an unsigned band can hope
for: Exposure. No one is entirely sure why MySpace has become what other
sites have dreamed about— a place where musicians can get their music
out there in a major way without the help of a label.
MySpace is an online community that lets you meet your friends'
friends. Create a private community on MySpace and you can share photos,
journals and interests with your growing network of mutual friends! See
who knows who, or how you are connected. Find out if you really are six
people away from Kevin Bacon. MySpace is for everyone: Friends who want
to talk Online, Single people who want to meet other Singles,
Matchmakers who want to connect their friends with other friends,
Families who want to keep in touch— map your Family Tree, Business
people and co-workers interested in networking, Classmates and study
partners... Anyone looking for long lost friends! UB
