Music in My Space

My Space has just announced that they will now be offering various musicians to perform on the site. In the article which was recently published musicians can select songs they would like to perform. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/04/technology/04myspace.html The performances are streamed for the audience to watch. In addition to enjoying the performance, they will be sold to immediately to the public. My Space plans to be one of the top places to purchase these video perfomances.

If I like what I see, I can take it with me,” said Josh Brooks, vice
president for programming and content of MySpace.


Programs like this are great because it makes it convenient for people to use. An artist can choose their own format as well as the length of the song. Usually a song may be cut short due to other programs following the performance. With My Space, the performance doesnt have to be cut short and if the audience chooses to purchase the video, they get their money's worth.

" We’re enabling artists to choose how they want to distribute their
music
,” Mr. Brooks said.

My Space has become a huge phenomenon over the recent years. Many artists are happy with this new introduction due to all the previous illegal downloading of music. Also it allows the artist to portray their other talents rather than the radio determining the content of the song.
