How to Download Songs to MySpace Music
Social networking sites have become a tool for up-and-coming artists and even established artists to connect with their fans. One of the most popular social networking sites available for musicians is MySpace Music. With MySpace Music, you can upload up to 10 songs to your page's built-in music player, and you can even sell your songs there. After you've created your MySpace Music account, it is relatively simple to get your tracks uploaded and start promoting them.

Tips & Warnings
You can only upload 10 files, but the size limit for an individual file is 250 megabytes, which allows for a lengthy mix of songs all in one file.
Don't ignore the copyright infringement information. You can get in serious trouble for uploading other people's songs.
