Comments on: Does Facebook have an answer for MySpace Music?

"Social music" is on the rise even as the music industry suffers. An album release partnership with iLike could be the first of many music deals for Mark Zuckerberg's fast-growing company.

Can't find any iLink app on facebook, same with a website. Last.fm is a better choice I guess when it's about music - facebook app, music community, all there.

I find it very interesting that Facebook was created to allow college student to have better contact with other college students from their high school and the creator always said he was not in any way attempting or going to attempt to challenge myspace, yet everything Facebook does seems to be a challenge or method to win 1 over myspace and get more users.
I guess it's the reason quite a few college students deleted their account once Facebook became open for the public.

The more ways in which consumers can access their music the better, but due to the emotive nature of music, there needs to be a certain trust and reputation for music behind the music provider in order for online services to work, this is what Facebook is unable to achieve on its own, so to ask whether Facebook has the answer to MySpace is irrelevant. Facebook needs a partner who has a reputation for Music. Having Peter Gabriel as one of our founding members at We7 has always created that trust between fans and accessing their music online. Music has always been our first thought and along with providing an easy to use and realistic alternative to piracy for our users.
