The other day, I found myself humming along to a song that I had heard recently. It wasn't long until I knew that I wanted that song in my MySpace profile. So of course I searched MySpace for this band only to be left dumbfounded when I couldn’t find them in MySpace Music. This Left me with no choice but to add a custom MP3 player to my profile. In result of this, I've realized that adding music to your profile can be trickier than you think. So I found a better way.
The only "friendly" way to add music to you profile is through MySpace music (clicking the little "add" link next to a band's song). Of course there are tons of ways to throw in music like custom music players and videos. But most of us take this for granted. Not every MySpace user is HTML savvy, in fact, most aren’t. A lot of people find themselves searching Google and learning different tips and tricks to modify their MySpace Layout, or using those pre-made MySpace Layouts that are full of spam. This leaves the novice MySpacer limited to novice choices. I even had trouble trying to customize those quirky MySpace MP3 players. However, there is a trick everyone can use.
I decided to create a MySpace Profile for my favorite group only titling it with slight alterations. After customizing the profile to the fullest, I uploaded the MP3 to MySpace. Now logging back into my main profile, I added the song from MySpace Music that I wanted. Now I can use the MySpace music player with the music that I want. Now this looks easy, but there are some slight catches to it.
First of all, any MySpace Music band profile that is found to be fake will be deleted. This is why the profile has to be created carefully with a lot of customizing. You do not want the MySpace police finding out that this band profile was created for the purpose just to use your personal MP3's. So it has to look real. Throw a background or a pre made layout onto this profile. This will keep it from looking suspicious to the MySpace police.
Even though most MySpace users are not very computer literate, they do have options in many areas of MySpace Customization
