Myspace Wont Be Selling Music On Their Site: Concentrating on Music Recommendations

Myspace CEO Mike Jones told LeWeb conference in Paris this morning that “My goal is you come to MySpace, you listen to some new bands and connect to those bands, I don’t wanna be the place that replaces iTunes. I wanna be the place where you learn about music and then take that to wherever your music consumption happens.”

So Myspace is focused on improving recommendations to encourage users to dig deeper into the site, instead of allowing them to consume music and make a few extra dollars.

“We do need to get better at surfacing the music that interests you,” said Jones. “If we connect you to curators who bring you the best content, your repeat visits go dramatically up.”
