Myspace Music - (Social Music Community)

A community for bands and artists to listen to each others music and recruit fans through friend networks. Myspace makes it easy for bands to advertise upcoming shows/events, sample new music, and reach out to un - tapped audiences who would have had a more difficult time engaging themselves with the artist without the use of online networking. Due to myspace’s proven success as a site that allows bands to reach their audiences instantaneously along with its ability to function as a prediction market for record companies, many up and coming bands use myspace to launch their careers.
On an artists webspace you can listen to streaming content whether you are a user with an account or visiting the site. To add a song you must have an active myspace account and to download a song you must have an account and the artist's permission through their personal settings. Myspace is a great place to actively support bands and find extensive information. Now that snocap ( end to end digital music distributor) has teamed up with Myspace, you can purchase songs and full albums based on the artist's price setting discretion.
