How to add music and Mp3s to Myspace

The first step you will do if you are interested is to login to your profile and click on the link that says Music that is located right between Classifieds and Videos near the top of the page. It will then open to Myspace Music page and gives you the chance to browse or find some of your favorite and cool music. There is a search option here that will let you search by band name, band members, as well as by musical influences or even based on ‘sounds like’. You can also do specific searches according to your type of music or just simply look for bands from a specific geographical region or area.

Once you found the music you like just click on that group’s page. You will then see a list of songs. You can view the lyrics or listen to the songs and you can also rate the songs. When you have decided what song to add you will need to click the Add button that will be located next to the song you have chosen. There will be a confirmation box that will pop up asking if you really want to add the song to your page. Just click on Add Song to Profile and the song will be added. That will now play as background music on your page.

Aside from adding music directly from Myspace, there are also other options in doing it. A better way is to add an MP3 player from profilepitstop.com – Where you can choose your own MP3 player graphics, add your favorite tunes and create your play list. If you wish to add a song from your hard drive, you can do so but, you need to upload it first to the web. The MP3 file must be on the web for you to use it on your Myspace profile page or else it will only be available to you if it’s only in your hard drive. You can upload it to your personal website but if you don’t have there are some for free like GeoCities or many other sites. Once you have uploaded the MP3 file just take note of the URL or web address of the file.

After choosing your preferred player you can also change its color that will best match your profile page. Next is to create a play list after you have made the color selection.

To create a play list, simply get the web address of the MP3 files that you want to include. Either the one you have uploaded onto your personal webpages or from other pages. Here’s an example of the web address: http://www.domainname.com/foldername/songtitle.mp3

After knowing the locations of the song just simply copy the web address (CTRL+C) and paste it into one of the MP3 field provided. Then write the title of the song in the title box and click Add to Playlist.

Most likely you will need to right click on the MP3 files and go to properties to get the URL. Note that the correct and working URL must begin with http: and must end with .mp3. Once you are done clicking on Add to Playlist button just click on Go to Next Step. It will then generate the code and just simply copy the code. Next open your MySpace profile page and click on Edit profile then paste the code that you have copied wherever you want the player to appear on your page.

New Mp3 players – Isn’t it cool

If you wish to listen all the music that is stored on your PC even when you are on the go, you should have a portable mp3 player. There are two kinds of mp3 players- hard drive players and flash memory players and each type has its own unique advantages.

Hard drive players have a hard drive inside them and can store a lot of digital music files that make them ideal for serious music lovers. These are generally compact and slim with all the storage and also have moving parts which means that they could skip under high impact conditions.

Players that have embedded flash memory are tiny and usually rely on built in flash memory to store digital music. Since flash memory has no moving parts these players can also handle bumping and jostling without any risk of skipping. Their light weight also makes them good choice for using during jogging or aerobics. But they are limited in capacity and as such these store fewer tunes than hard drive players.

Although many Mp3 CD’s and MP3 portables can handle MP3 they are really not MP3 players. These may be an affordable and versatile choice for them who don’t mind to transfer their music files to a collection of discs. CD portables are noticeably larger than today’s hard drive and flash players, the MD portables are closer in size to a hard drive player.

Cool extras you should look for
You would always look for your MP3 player to perform a great job by storing and playing your tunes but there are additional perks as well that you might never think off when you are shopping.

FM Tuner
If you want to listen for FM radio then you should look for a portable that incorporates an FM tuner so that you can switch over to radio listening to your favorite program.

Voice recorder
Many players also capture voice snippets through a built in microphone or record radio broadcasts from a built –in FM tuner. These players are great for those people who want to save interviews or lectures to their player’s memory. In addition, since voice recording is usually mono and not stereo you can store lots of hours of voice recording.

Memory card slot
If you choose a player that has embedded flash memory and a memory card slot, you can expand the players memory capacity and all you can do is buy some compatible flash memory cards separately and then use them to store additional tunes.

Photos and videos
More portables are available that can handle photos or videos and are usually larger than usual LCD that displays home videos, TV shows, movies or any other digital photos downloaded from your computer.

Other accessory includes headphones, remotes, dock and other accessories that shall enable you to play and listen to your new MP3 player in the class.
