How to Put Music on My Space
MySpace is a large social networking site that allows users to build free, customizable personal websites. MySpace members often use the site to reconnect with long-lost acquaintances, chat with family members and friends or find dates. Although Facebook is the fastest growing social network, according to reports from Techtree.com, MySpace remains the premier site for posting and sharing multimedia files on user profiles. Because of recent site modifications made to the MySpace dashboard, procedures for adding music to profiles also have changed. The My Playlist element now creates a music profile widget containing songs added by the user.
