It's been the talk of the music industry for months. Perhaps as soon as September, MySpace, the huge social networking site with 120 million users, will unveil an ad-supported music service with free songs from three of the four major record labels: Universal, Sony (SNE) and Warner Music (WMG). MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe has promised it will launch "a new chapter in the story of modern music."

The prediction is for MySpace to launch an ad-supported music service by end of November 2008.

If you were to update the dates around this one a tad, David, this could be a winner.


To be clear, MySpace does have a music service, you're stating that this service (or a new one?) will support advertising by said date. Correct?


@Eric, is end of November good enough? I didn't have any specific intention of current vs new service as long as it is ad-supported. Should I revise the verbiage to reflect this?


@Eric, this should be a good one for play as launch is imminent. Any chance of it being featured?


Suggestion is moot. This has been launched already.
