So, your MySpace music profile is now officially registered, and you're ready to get your music up for the world to hear. You need to make the most out of your music profile so you can start spreading the word about your music as soon as possible.
To get to your music profile's Edit Profile window, click the Edit Profile link that's located at the top of the list of links just to the right of your profile picture on your MySpace home page.
Upcoming Shows
 | No matter how much of a fan base you build online, it's not going to do you much good if you don't give them a chance to see you live and in all your harmonic glory. |
The first tab in the Edit Profile window is named Upcoming Shows. Here, you can add, delete, and edit the details of any shows you'll be playing in the near future. To enter your act's upcoming show, follow these steps:
1. Enter in Show Date and Time.
2. Enter in Venue and Cost.
3. Enter in show location information.
4. Enter a Description.
Tell the MySpacer a little about your show, your music, whatever you think may draw him or her in to see you perform.
5. Click the Update button.
The Preview Show window opens.
6. If the preview looks good, click the Save Show button.
After you save the show, it's listed under the upcoming show form so you can edit or delete it if needed. After you add the gig to your Upcoming Shows list, the show appears in two places:
- The Upcoming Shows box on your MySpace home page
- Your public MySpace music profile in the Upcoming Shows section
Band Details
In the Band Details section, you can enter in all the wonderful information that you feel the general public should know about you or your band. This section is split into specific segments that are designed to give people a better feel for what type of band you are and what type of music you play.
 | After it's entered, all this information appears on your public music profile for the world to see. |
Several sections make up the Edit Band Bio window, including Headline, Members, and Influences. Each section has an Edit button so you can go in and modify any information that you entered, whenever you feel the need to do so.
Basic Info
The Basic Info tab is pretty straightforward. Here, you can edit your band's name and location information. It's no secret that bands often go through many changes as they move along — even the most successful ones — and if you just happen to feel the urge to give your band a different name, this is the place to make that change.
Manage Songs
Allowing those who come to your music page the ability to instantly listen to your songs through the MySpace Music Player is one of the major benefits of setting up a MySpace music profile. When you're ready to upload a few of your tunes so all the world can hear all that hard work you put in behind the recording mic, you need to go to the Manage Songs tab. To add a new song, follow these steps:
1. Click the Add link in the Manage Songs window.
The Edit Song Details window opens.
2. Enter in all the song details that you want.
The only field you must fill in is the song name.
3. Click the Update button.
The MP3 upload window opens.
4. Upload the MP3 file of your song.
The Upload Song Photo window opens after your MP3 uploads.
5. Upload an image for your song.
| You can click the Skip for Now link and add an image later. |
After you complete this step, the Manage Songs window opens again.
6. Upload additional songs, if you want.
7. Choose your Page Settings.
After you add music to your profile, you have a few options you can modify regarding the songs you post:
• Allow users to add songs to their profile: Checking this box allows any MySpacer the option to add any song that's posted to MySpace to his or her personal profile.
• Auto-play first song when someone views my profile: If this option is checked, your MySpace Music Player begins to play your songs as soon as someone opens up your music profile.
• Check this box to randomize song play: This option is basically the MySpace Music Player's version of shuffle. If you leave the box unchecked, your first song will play.
