BEVERLY HILLS, CA (Hypebot) – COMMENTARY: Most signs point to a Monday launch…or at least sometime next week. It's big news when the top ranked social networking site makes a move and music is already central to it's community. iLike and others are even mounting big announcements of their own. What do we think we know so far about MySpace Music?
Anything that enhances the music experience on a high traffic site is good news for music marketers. But the millions of fans that use MySpace don't think of it as a place to buy – if they buy music at all. That perception will be a major hurdle for MySpace to overcome. And integration of anything new into an eco-system filled with custom designs and layouts could be both a visual and technical nightmare.
With all heads turned in their direction and a parent company expecting return on investment, MySpace Music has left itself no room for mistakes.
