what on earth were they thinking? Speaking as a recording artist its astonishing to see what was once not only a ground breaking site but also such a simple thing to set up. Since they have changed it to My[____] its screwed up everyone's original themes/profiles, nothing works properly, its slow & and messy.
Everyone I know that makes music is dumping it in favour of farcebook and reverbnation, why did they do it? what were they thinking? how can a company get an 'upgrade' so desperately wrong? I wonder if it was developed by microsofts Vista team?

The only good thing about myspace is that Murdoch paid $580 million for it 😆

All the musos I follow on Twitter have been complaining about and dumping Myspace.
I think [url= http://bandcamp.com/ ]Bandcamp[/url] is the best one.
Beware of Soundcloud, it's easy to steal music from there.

(Tries to think what positive input Kingtit has made to the forum, fails to come up with anything. Remembers all the fun and lively threads started by Nutt, smiles)

@DezB

The thing is Soundcloud is no more susceptible than any flash based player no? Via stream rippers or the old fashioned way of recording the audio as it plays. Also with soundcloud isn't the ripped file usually down sampled to 128kbps?

...I should add, not arguing in the STW way. Genuinely curious.

You're right, they are usually 128kbps (like that matters with MrNutt's stuff 😉 ) Depends on the upload I think.
But no, not a stream ripper, much quicker than that. 🙂

Learn to play the guitar. Set up a mike, perform an identical cover version, record it. Convert to mp3. Hey presto!

Yeah myspace is getting worse. Lots of venues & promoters still use it to find / listen to / contact acts.

Imo you still need a myspace presence, but make sure it's not your only or primary presence
