MySpace Music to launch in September

by Greg Sandoval

MySpace Music will launch in September, according to Chris DeWolfe, the social network's CEO.

DeWolfe made the comments at the Fortune Brainstorm conference in Half Moon Bay, Calif., TechCrunch reported.

MySpace announced in April that it planned to launch a music service that would offer songs from three out of the top four recording companies (EMI has yet to join).

MySpace said then that the music site, which will offer free streaming music, unprotected MP3 downloads, ringtones, and merchandise, would roll out over a span of three to four months.

MySpace has a ton of users (devout ones, at that), so this could be a success. However, I honestly believe that MySpace does not understand the fundamentals of usability and interface design. It's the absolute worst! Until they figure tat out, then I'd still rather get my music from Amazon MP3
