This morning the popular social networking site MySpace launched its highly anticipated MySpace Music service, a joint venture between MySpacec and the Big 4 record labels.
Evolving from simple artists pages, the new MySpace Music allows for artist's pages to stream their entire catalogs if necessary and a few artists have already made hundreds of songs available. Prince for example, has almost his entire catalog available already.
The service makes money from advertising revenue, which surrounds all the music but will not impede listening to the song. The site will also direct you to Amazon MP3 if you want to download the track after you have streamed it.
The service will also offer artist merchandise and concert tickets at some point and will allow users to make playlists of up to 100 songs and then embed it in their profiles.
