RWW Predictions: Facebook Music Coming Soon?

2008-10-27T02:14:22Z

Last month we witnessed Myspace launch its long awaited Myspace Music service. Users of Myspace can now assemble playlists from a vast collection of music from four major labels and one independent distributor. Users can also stream these songs for free or purchase them free of DRM restrictions thanks to the AmazonMP3 service integration. Myspace Music isn't the perfect streaming music service, and there are talks of Facebook following suit. We'd like your help in predicting the following: Will Facebook integrate streaming music into its site by the end of this year? If so, via which service/partner will it do so?

]]> Fast Facts

Facebook is the largest social network in the world with well over 100 million monthly active users
Rival MySpace has recently launched MySpace Music, and is currently more profitable than Facebook
Facebook is rumored to be partnering with either iLike, imeem, LaLa, or Rhapsody

Artist and developers...Dont be fooled again...Facebook and Myspace continue to use the content that you freely give them to earn huge amounts of revenue and value....and they in return give you "Free" access to software that could have been built by and for the community.....Your content has raised the values of myspace and facbook into the billions....and in return you have received no share in the wealth that you have helped to create....Do not be fooled again....Do not give your music freely to facebook or to myspace.....Free your selves from the the Share Cropping prison of myspace and facebook....
