All music posted on myspace MUST be with the performers permission.
Myspace will not allow it unless it is a song that you wrote or have written permission from the performer.

Performers do give venues such as house concerts permission to post their songs if they are trying to publicize a particular gig that they are doing at that venue.

When I send out my e-mail invitations to our house concerts I always attach an MP3 to my message WITH THE PERFOMER'S PERMISSION so that those unfamiliar with his or her music will see what they are signing up for. Since I have been doing this the number of attendees has risen sharply, which is all to the benefit of the artist.
