Thread Name: BS: BS is Myspace Obsolete?
Subject: RE: BS: BS is Myspace Obsolete?
I still have a ShoreGrass page on myspace but don't use it anymore. When I realized that any songs I put up online can be copied by anyone who knows how to record from an audio stream, I took all our music off the site. It's not interactive enough for me, so I use Facebook for connections with other musicians and the world at large.
There are ways to put music up on Facebook, but haven't much looked into it for the reasons I took our music off myspace. Our "official" ShoreGrass Website points people to CDBaby, where samples of all our recorded music is available.
So yes, I think Myspace is obsolete, although it is making a valiant effort to reinvent itself and might just succeed with enough new ideas.
