MySpace Music Playlists and Albums Now Shareable
By Morelli
It’s been possible for some time share photos from Myspace to many other networking sites like Facebook, Reedit, Google Bookmarks, StumbleUpon, Netvibes, Twitter, Newsvine, myAOL, Slashdot, Digg and Yahoo Bookmarks, as pictured above. Now, Myspace has finally given the same functionality to Myspace Music Playlists, allowing you to share music across the long list of sites. MySpace executive Tracy Akselrud told Digital Music News that:
“This feature encourages the sharing and promoting of playlists and album pages on and off site. It makes the music experience more social, more open and offers even greater exposure for artists.”
Myspace Music seems to be following the lead of other music sites like imeem and Yahoo Music in providing sharing functions, but has the added benefit of already drawing a huge amount of users. However, Myspace doesn’t allow users to embed playlists on sites and blogs whenever HTML code is used.
This recent development goes hand in hand with the iterative improvements that have been made to Myspace Music over the past months. However, the need for significant revenue from the service will remain a huge factor in Myspace’s ability to stay ahead of the competition. Since losing money isn’t on their agenda, they aren’t willing to take as many risks, and that is why we are seeing these advancements take more time than on other services. What else should Myspace add to their service?
