myface 300x229 HOW TO: Create An Artist Or Band Facebook Page Using Your Myspace Profile

The Myspace Music App Puts Your Myspace Page on Facebook

Myspace just rolled out its official Myspace Music App, which allows artists to copy their existing Myspace content (including songs, pictures, and videos) from Myspace to Facebook.  It also allows simultaneous updates across both platforms.

This is a convenient tool for artists who have come to realize that music fans are becoming scarce on the Myspace network. Of course, it also makes you wonder what will happen to Myspace’s advertising revenue as they let artists direct traffic towards their biggest competitor.


To use the app, you need to be the admin of an existing Facebook page. (If you’re unclear on the difference between a Facebook “page” and “profile,” or if you need help turning your profile into a page, check out this article.) Once transferred, your content will be available to fans under a “Music” tab on your Facebook page. Of course, any updates you want reflected on both sites will have to be made through Myspace.

For musicians struggling to maintain a presence on both social networks, and for those who still haven’t found a great way to represent their music on Facebook, this could be good news. And, if you spent years building up content on Myspace and have been putting off tackling the daunting task of manually transferring it to your Facebook page, this might be the answer you’ve been looking for.

Are you planning on using the app? What are your thoughts on this move by Myspace? Respond in the comments below.

    People still use MySpace?

    • Stani Steinbock

      Well, I still have my page there, if for nothing else to keep contact with a few colleagues. Some people don’t seem to want to use F***book & I’ve also read that over a million American users are leaving F***book, so who knows. I’ve also created a Soundcloud page, but I haven’t uploaded more than a picture there so far…

    nahhh myspace is dead!!! is difficult to recover the people, when its two main markets went elsewhere

    Myspace was a great platform but left to die. Actually I prefer to just use facebook and soundcloud + Twitter to update all sites

    The very cause of the last hemorrage of myspace users was the attempt to update. If they had left it all alone, they would have lost fewer.

    Is it about the wall interactions? I’m left a bit puzzled, because for knowing about a band and being able to hear new music, myspace is still the easiest.

    My FaceBook page, Pie’s Music page connects with my Reverbnation account and that takes care of everything that MySpace does, and more. I won’t be using this app…but then, I don’t use apps of any kind if I can help it!

    The fact that MySpace lets artists direct traffic towards their biggest competitor is still a mystery.

    I need to my link an existing myspace music site with the new site created after CD Babý´s tracks submission to myspace; so then, link new tracks to Facebook. How can it be done?

      I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking. Can you be more specific?
