How to Send Songs via Twitter
You can send a song on Twitter by searching a third-party music-hosting site by song, artist and/or album and tweeting a link to the song. Grooveshark and Song.ly are two of the most comprehensive and easy-to-use music-linking services for Twitter. You can also send songs on Twitter via the popular video-hosting site YouTube, which hosts millions of music videos. All three services let you tweet a song with a few clicks of the mouse. Your followers can then listen to the song by clicking the link in your tweet.
