2. Myspace.com is a social networking tool that offers music, music videos, playlists, and previews of up and coming bands, as well as upcoming tour dates. Myspace music does not require a myspace account to listen to music or view videos. However, having an account is beneficial because it allows you to personalize your page with your own selected music, playlist, and/or video. Using the search engine allows you to find certain bands, artists, genres, etc. By searching and selecting a certain artist, you can view their profile and listen to their music at your own discretion.



3. The site seems to be relatively interactive, in that you can decide what you want to listen to, when you want to listen to it, or you can choose to watch a music video all by the simple click of the mouse. Myspace Music allows the listener to have total control by saving, and adding only what you choose.


4. Myspace Music incorporates advertising from big name artists to new technology to politics. Not only are there advertisements on the home page, but as you search artists' profiles there are advertisments for band merchandise. The also incorporate banner advertisments on every page you view. Myspace Music has also launched Myspace Records, and are promoting it with a free song and ads about upcoming tour dates. Myspace Music allows you to buy songs or albums directly from an artist's profile. Currently there is no subscription service available through the site.


5. Myspace Music offers profiles for any and every artist in any and every genre. There are forums where people who have the same interests in music can come together and discuss the genre of their preference. Celebrity playlists are posted throughout the Myspace Music homepage, and there is also a link to a playlist page where celebrity playlists are featured.


6. The best feature of Myspace Music is that it is completely user friendly. The most unique feature is the way that a user is able to personalize your own music/playlist, and it is completely free of charge.

Ya'll did a great job of explaining Myspace Music and what it has to offer. I use MySpace music all the time because it's so easy to navigate but I was unaware that you dont have to have an account to listen to their music until I read ya'lls blog. Overall, this is by far one of my favorite ways to access music. Thanks for the new information, GREAT JOB!

I really enjoy listening to Myspace music because you are able to find alot of local artists that are sometimes harder to find on the other websites. I wish they had a shuffle button though!
