If you know the song you want, do a keyword search for it at the right top of the page you were just taken to. If not, search the directory for a band and song you want.
Step6
Once you find the band and song, you have to see if the song is available for you to use on your page. If it is, there will be an "add" link beside it. Left-click once on this.
Step7
You will be asked, "Do you really want to add this song to your profile?" Click once on "add song to profile."

Below the blue "Interests and Personality," you will see links across the screen. Choose the link for "song and video" and left-click the link once.

A box will open that asks if you really want to add this song to your profile. If so, then click on "add song to profile."

You will get a message saying that the song was added to your profile. To double-check, click underneath this on "view my profile."

Tips & Warnings

  • Remember that the song you pick is the song on your profile page for the world to view. Everyone will be able to listen to the song, and see what kind of music you like. Your song choice could also say something about your personality!
  • There is no cost to adding a song to your page by the artist.
  • Unfortunately, not all songs are able to be placed on your Myspace page. Only songs allowed currently by the artist may be added.
  • The permission could also change--you may find one day that you go to your profile page and see that your song was deleted by the artist. This means they are no longer allowing the song to be used by Myspace users on their Myspace pages.
  • Some artists, even though there is an "add" key next to a certain song, will not allow you to use the song for your Myspace song. In this event, choose another song, or search for another artist to find a new song.
