SOOO II WAS REALY MAD

“Myspace dont like the idea of ppl making business off their back”

My advice, “lighten up”

Hello,

To add a song on your MySpace profile, please visit Myspace Music (http://music.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music) and find a song you want to add. If the artist has given permission to share the music, you’ll see an “Add” link next to the song. Click “Add” and the song will play on your profile! Only one song can be added to your profile at one time.

If you want to change songs, simply find another song and click “Add.”

To remove the song, go to Home >> Edit Profile >> Profile Songs and click “Delete.”

If you have difficulty uploading a song, try temporarily disabling any antivirus software while you are in the upload process.

If this does not address your issue completely, please press “Reply” and provide any additional information you feel is relevant.

Thank you,

MySpace.com

I think the MySpace users should be happy… Funny how they can take down the widgets but they haven’t done anything about the “MySpace Tracker Hackers” wtf total bs… I just want my playlist back on my page.. The music section does not have updated NEW music…. Its really not fair…

1. Subscribe to myspace music(free, easy, just click on the music tab at the top of this page)

2. Download Audacity(free)
http://www.download.com/Audaci.....ag=lst-0-1

3. Download Switch Audio converter(free)
http://www.download.com/Switch.....20966.html

4. Open the song you want into audacity, then highlight the entire song by clicking and dragging. After that, in the toolbar click on the Effect button… then click change speed. Type in the following … -.100 then click ok

5. Now click, File - then click export as WAV. Save it to the desktop(or wherever you please)

6. Now open the song in Switch audio converter. Convert the .wav file into an .mp3 file… which is very easy, just make sure the output format says .mp3

7. Now your copyrighted song is ready to upload onto myspace music, just dont upload a picture to go along with the track, or else it prolly wont work.

It works for me, i guarantee it will work for you.

Ok now i bet you are wondering how this works. Well by changing the speed of the song it makes the waves of the file unrecognizable to the tool that tom uses to determine music that is copyrighted and music that isnt. The speed change in the song is completely unnoticable, so enjoy.

yours truley,

kids aren’t on imeem, they are on myspace

if they were, this news wouldn’t be big for imeem.

When I was running Music Video Codes and Yashi, one of my biggest fears was the incredible dependency I had on MySpace and their ability to simply block my services at any given time.

I think what we see happening now is what FIM was explaining at the First Round Capital CEO summit in January. Its the “friend or foe” argument that my partner Aaron Cohen and I had with their executives that spoke at the summit during their Q&A with the crowd…

It appears MySpace has realized or as they would see it, learned their lesson from allowing widgets to grow and directly compete as large destination sites, such as YouTube. What is strange to me is why they would attempt to repress their ecosystem since its the same ecosystem of widgets that enhances the user experience on their website to begin with. Its a very fine line and difficult to decide which widgets really pose a threat to their business, and which do not.

I believe there are currently two fundamental rules they are living by at MySpace. 1.) No monetization on their pages and 2.) No communication products that can grow into a destination site.

Even though I understand the above rules, it would still be more logical to me if there was evidence that these widgets were stunting their growth at MySpace, which clearly is not the case.

It should be interesting to see how this unfolds now that MySpace is planned to launch their own widget development product serice for independent developers to build widgets for them.

MySpace is crossing over to the dark side and leaving us behind in the republic… who will take over in the new world?

enough of this techcrunch! you are starting to remind me of Wolf Blitzer - every news is big news!

February 25th, 2007 at 4:59 am: One thing I have noticed over the last year that I have been at MySpace is that the programmers are very unskilled and unprofessional. I have never seen features, especially bulletins, break down so often. At first I thought, how can a bunch of programmers keep breaking the safe feature over and over again. If they had been working for me, they would have been let go already.

But now, having read this post, it does make sense that they could have been adding some new filtering schemes all these times. Programmers can’t be so dumb to break the same code over and over and over and over…can they?

Ditto to Don’s point. I’ve seen betas that run better than MySpace. Some feature is constantly down, and I can’t tell you how many times MySpace has “eaten” a blog post or comment I’ve tried to send. Acceptable in a startup service, but now that it’s owned by a company with the ability but refusal to invest in necessary improvements, it’s VERY frustrating. It’s like Fox wants to squeeze every dime out of MySpace without having to invest in the necessary tech development. Not to mention its inability to patrol spam profiles, event invitations, friend requests, etc. It is inexplicably difficult to do things as basic as making a “friends” list to limit blog entries to, etc.

The widgets, on the other hand, are one of the redeeming features in MySpace. When MySpace core functions won’t work, the widgets usually do, and are especially handy when they allow MySpace users to share content they wouldn’t be able to with MySpace tools alone. I don’t understand (and yet, of course, the cynical side of me does) why a website majority-owned by one of the most lucrative media companies in the world could be so poorly designed and executed.

The other thing about MySpace is that in the world of social networking, there is a loss of control over content, which includes the little widgets users choose to install. I don’t know why MySpace is cracking down on widgets so much… seems like an inevitability in the social networking business. And it all would be very, very different if MySpace’s core functionality actually worked. If a MySpace user reports a technical issue, it goes into a black hole and nobody ever hears from the tech team.

In short, if MySpace put as much effort into making sure its basic tools worked as it does into banning widgets, it would be far better off.

If you look just a little closer you’ll see what they’re really doing is censoring the phrase imeem.com. You can’t link to anything that has imeem.com anywhere in the URL, you can’t copy and paste anything that has imeem.com, you can’t even SAY imeem.com on your blogs or in comments. According to myspace - imeem.com = ..
Just try it. Type it into your myspace blog and hit preview and see what happens.

That’s the real root of this issue - censorship. Not widgets, not Web 2.0, not people jumping on the social networking bandwagon, It’s censorship.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this does happen. It will be interesting to see whether the much vaunted user exodus will ever start, and if MySpace put their own widgets in, who’ll really care?
