How to Embed Music Videos Onto MySpace
An embed is an HTML code used to position files on MySpace pages for visibility and effective playback. Embed music videos for MySpace are usually derived from YouTube, as the site provides automatically generated codes specifically for embedding. These embed codes simply need to be placed on your MySpace profile's editorial platform for visibility on the actual MySpace profile. Once these changes are saved, the music video will be visible for your page visitors to access.

Tips & Warnings
The "Edit Profile" or "Safe Mode" option will vary based on the type of profile you have. If your profile is based on the MySpace 1.0 platform, the option will most likely say "Edit Profile." Most artist MySpace pages, and MySpace 2.0 profiles have the "Safe Mode" option. But nevertheless, both options lead to the same MySpace editorial platform.
Make sure you save the changes once you have placed the embed code in your MySpace profile. Otherwise, the code will not save.
