How to add music to your Myspace profile

m-audio-direct-badge-100x100Want to know why there are so many people who think Myspace is better than Facebook? One of the main reasons is because Myspace allows users to add their favourite songs to their own profile home page – allowing you to show off some of the best of your collection and add some diversity to your own page. That’s something Facebook doesn’t have – everybody’s Facebook is the same dull white and blue, and with Myspace music, there is an extra touch that makes a profile completely unique.

In order to add music to your profile, you have to first log into your Myspace account. Afterwards, find the link where it says Music. This should be in the top navigation bar where you can find all the other links such as Home and Profile. Afterwards, you should be brought to a page which displays albums and artists. There should be a search bar to the right of the page. Click on it and enter an artist of your choice.

The search results should show the available songs by your particular artist and the ones available should have a ‘+’ icon which will allow you to add the song that you want to your profile page. It’s that easy. You don’t need to worry about uploading the music files from your computer, because it’s probably already on Myspace under the official artist’s album.

So what if you are an artist yourself and want others to be able to listen to your music? All you have to do is follow the same process and click on Music in the upper navigation bar, but this time, follow the link which says Musicians and sign up for a musician account. This way you will be able to create your own musician account on Myspace and allow others to view your profile / band and listen to your own compositions.

Some tracks may not be available to be added to your playlist for a variety of reasons. If for some reason a track becomes unavailable, the ‘+’ button will not be displayed on the search results and even if you try to listen to the song through the artist’s official web page it will not work. Songs may be removed from the Myspace music database from time to time at the artist’s discretion. But don’t worry – there are plenty of other songs on the Myspace music search that you can add. Myspace is one of the largest social networking sites out there, so you can rest assure that nearly all your favourite bands will have their own profiles on there.

We all know that music plays an important role characterising individuals. Myspace has a great music program and allows any artist, famous or just starting out, to share their compositions with the rest of the world. If you have a Myspace account and haven’t already started utilising this feature, or just didn’t know how, make your account more unique by adding the music you like at any time.
