I wonder if youtube wil do the same in the future.
If you want you can see all the new movies there.
In a crappy quallity but…

I cannot get certain songs of mine approved to be a part of the myspace player.

All VST based with the exception of individual drum samples and I get an error after it’s approved with some bullocks about it being copyrighted?!?

Anyone else have this type of problem on their myspace music page?

I did have a track taken off the publicly viewable bit for a short while, and that certainly didn’t have any copyrighted material in it, but it re-ppeared after a couple of weeks. Strange though, I was able to see it in my tracks list when editing the profile, it just didn’t appear on the homepage. They’re probably sifting through stuff at random & trying to scare the dodgy users off, but who knows!

I’ll hopefully be putting a new track up there soon, so I guess I’ll find out if any of this affects me.
