Add Songs to Your MySpace Profile

with Don Schechter

You can listen to music in your car and on your mp3 player - why not on your MySpace page, too? Learn how to find the tunes you want and add them to your profile.

Transcript: Add Songs to Your MySpace Profile

Hi, I'm Don Schechter for About.com Computing. Today I'm going to show you how to add music to your personal MySpace page. Adding music allows other users to listen to your chosen song every time they visit your page.

Log In to MySpace

First, open your Web browser. Go to myspace.com. In order to add a song to MySpace, you need to be a member of MySpace.

If you are already a member, enter your email address and password in the member login box. If you are not registered, click 'sign up' next to the login button.

Edit Your Profile

Once you are logged in, you will be at your homepage. Click on the 'edit profile' button. Next, click on the 'song and video on profile' tab. Here, you can choose to add a profile song or video.

Search for a Band on MySpace

Many musicians are on MySpace already, so you can search for the band or artist you want by clicking 'find a band in MySpace Music.'

The MySpace Music page will pop up. From here, you can type in a keyword of the musician you are looking for.

Select the Band and Song You Want

MySpace will generate a list of bands matching your keywords. Once you find the band you're looking for, click on the link to their page.

Once you arrive at the band's homepage, there will be a play window where you can play the available songs.

Add the Song to Your MySpace Profile

Click the 'add' button under the song that you want on your profile. You will be asked if you want to add that song to your profile. Click 'add song to profile.'

Then, you can choose to go back to the band's profile or go to your own.
