I would've thought, given that the initial motivation behind myspace was to promote bands and music, that this would've happened a long time ago. I know of several sites that have popped up over the last few years that allow unsigned artists to market their music, but this has been non-existant on the social networking giant...at least until now. I was alerted to this phenomenon through a bulletin from my friend's band Next Tribe in which they state that they will now be able to sell downloads of their songs for $1.44. Apparently this is possible due to a partnership between myspace and Snocap, a website that has been offering artists this service since 2005.

Interesting. I wonder if it will catch on.
