The two most popular social networking sites, MySpace and Facebook, both use different methods adding music to your profile. Follow the step-by-step instructions listed here and you'll have your favorite jams embedded into your social network site profile in no time! Add Music to Myspace Adding music to MySpace is pretty simple, as the site has a built-in function for sharing music. 1. First things first, log-in to MySpace and access your profile. 2. Once in your profile, click on the "Music" link. You'll be taken to the MySpace Music page, where you can search for the background music you're looking for. * A multitude of genres are represented, and there are options to search by artist profile (even allowing you to search by the artist's country, or even state), song title, etc. * There are also options to see the top artists, music videos, and featured play lists. You can check these out too. Featured play lists are a feature that allows you to see (and listen!) to what your favorite artists and celebrities are listening to. 3. From the search results, you can play the song, add it to your profile or to a play list, or purchase the song from AmazonMP3 (the download partner of MySpace). * If you selected an artist's page among the results, you can click on them to see their page, and play, add, or purchase their music from there. 4. Now you've got the song added to your profile, so when people check out your MySpace page, they can listen to the play lists you are sharing! Add Music to Facebook Facebook, on the other hand, does it a little differently. You'll have to add a music application, such as iLike, or Last.fm, in order to play music. But it's also pretty easy! We'll be using iLike as the main example, as it's also the most popular music app on Facebook. 1. From your Facebook home page, use the search function to look for the music app of your choice, or go directly to the app's profile page (if you know what you want to use already). iLike and Last.fm are two of the very popular choices, and they are highly recommended. * If you're searching for these, from the results, click "Applications" tab to see only the apps. Look for the match, and click "View Application" to be taken to the app's profile page. * You'll now be taken to the app's home page, where you can check out a brief background on the app you're about to use. More information about it, such as user reviews and ratings, can be found on this page. When you're ready to add the app, click the "Go to Application" button on the upper right hand side of the page. 2. Once you've chosen the app you want to use (you can add both if you want!), allow the app to access your profile for it to work properly.3. iLike lets you add songs, videos, and artists to your profile easily. Once you've added it, it asks you if you want a box to show up on your profile's Wall or Info tab, or on your Boxes tab. * Regardless of where you want it on your profile (you can also add a separate Music tab if you want), you can easily search for, and add music and artists to your profile! * The music will be shared with your network, and anyone who visits your profile or the appropriate box can play the music, add it to their own iLike, and even purchase the song from Amazon or iTunes. 4. Using iLike's search function, you can look for your favorite artists. The search results easily display tracks and videos from that artist, which you and your network can play, add to iLike, or purchase. 5. An additional feature of iLike is the ability to "dedicate" a song to people in your network. Simple click "Dedicate," and follow the instructions to dedicate that track. iLike also has several other useful features: * The Concerts tab shows you a calendar with the schedule of gigs of your favourite artists (or your friends' favourite artists) * The Charts tab reflect what music is most popular on Facebook, on iLike.com, and also among users of the iLike Sidebar for iTunes/Windows Media Player, so you can see what a lot of people are listening to! * The Free MP3s tab gives down loadable music from unsigned artists matched to your favorite artists based on the community rating system on GarageBand.com, so you can discover new music * Quizzes are a platform for users to test their music know-how, with various topics like "name that band" quizzes, genre quizzes, etc. 5. Now that you've added this app to your profile, play around with it and share and discover new music with your network. Tinker around with the other customizations available, and enjoy the music! Adding music to your social networking site is a great way to make your musical preferences known to your entire network and to make new friends who share the same taste in music as you. Simply follow the instructions provided in this guide and you'll find that adding music to your MySpace and Facebook profile is a breeze.
