MySpace Music Opens For Business, Will Pirates Care?

by John Jorgensen on September 24, 2008

  • MySpace Music launched tonight with free streaming music from the 4 major record labels (Sony BMG, Warner, Universal and EMI, the last of which signed at the last minute).
  • Activity Stream (MySpace’s version of Facebook’s News Feed) lets you see which songs your friends like and stream the full tracks with one click, essentially turning MySpace into a gigantic social music discovery site.
  • In addition to free full-length streaming of all tracks, songs can be purchased as mp3s (Amazon) or as ringtones (Jamster).
  • Unlimited numbers of playlists can be created, embedded and copied from other profiles.
  • Tiny commentary: MySpace Music has become the 600 lb gorilla of social music discovery overnight. But will it survive? See our partner site tinyCrunch for five reasons MySpace Music will fail.
