You can get the big tune widget like you had seen in the label, but specifically for each artists, and at the bottom it'll recommend artists that I've chosen to recommend through my network. You also have the fan collector, a smaller fan collector, for blogs, then you have the street team collectors which gets people that want to join and help really promote your music. Now the main thing that's different here is that you have different sized players. This blog sized player is actually brand new. I've never seen it before until today, and I'm on this site everyday. So they're also constantly updating and upgrading materials and widgets for you to customize and use. Now when using them, you can just click on this code, and it copies the code to be put in any html.
