I’m interested in hearing your opinions about myspace and what you think could be better with it as i am working towards a new website that has similar features for musicians / listeners as well as many other features, which are silently growing on the site.
There’s been a few sites over the years that i’ve put my music on including mp3.com, amp3.com, vitiminic and many others but i’ll agree that the instant gratification of what you need is there with myspace, the music plays as you go to the page - no dodgy setup of m3u files or whatnot with your media player.
The community thing is also a great feature, having friends (or fans) adding to your list, sending messages - one of the things previous sites almost forgot about completely. a simple blogging tool is another good one, as is the ability to ‘pimp up’ your myspace.
The limits to 4 songs is in keeping with the industry standards for demo’s, so another win? A few pictures of the band, great stuff.
For me, music has always been art - i create it because i like doing it, but also money has never really been the driving factor although i’ve made a couple of thousand dollars on mp3.com and amp3.com.
What i want to ask regarding this is this : has the focus of record labels / artists moving away from making money online (since piracy will always prevail) - or towards advertising, or just mass exposure from giving away freebies in the hope that we’ll make money some other way, or something else?
