This is a whole new outlet to promote artists and songs through an already increasing popular social network. This is the best of both worlds, because not only can one use the songs for enjoyment on media players, I-Pods, etc., but one also can share these songs with their friends, thus promoting through word of mouth. It is a way to make a profit by giving the gift of music. The value is built in to the availability and uses of these web songs and MP3s. It is a very wise move to incorporate music in this social network, seeing how the most powerful form of advertising is through word of mouth. Other people who didn't even receive the music as a gift can still preview the music of other friends in their network. It's genius and I think it should gain a lot of ground in the following months.

I am a HUGE fan of facebook (although not so much of some of the "improvements" they have constantly been making), so the fact that they are diving deeper into the music realm sounds awesome to me. All the more reason to procrastinate doing homework on a regular basis!
