MySpace Music will launch in September, according to Chris DeWolfe, the social network’s CEO.
DeWolfe made the comments at the Fortune Brainstorm conference in Half Moon Bay, California, TechCrunch reported.
MySpace announced in April that it planned to launch a music service that would offer songs from three out of the top four recording companies (EMI has yet to join).
MySpace said then that the music site, which will offer free streaming music, unprotected MP3 downloads, ringtones, and merchandise, would roll out over a span of three to four months.
This is excellent news! (i think!)
The indie artist is left out, Myspace got in Bed with the majors so they can get the content. The Indie artist needs to do things themselves and sell and promote there music independently with all the opportunities out there. And this is not only for artist but also for producers and beatmakers. Producers are selling there beats on sites like http://www.beatslocker.com and any artist can now get quality beats for a reasnable price, that before they could not as the Major labels owned them.
Myspace had a great thing going but they sold out long ago, letting plays get inflated, kissing up to the majors and throwing the indie artist to the side, even though Indies made myspace
