New MySpace Music Player
37 CommentsBefore talking about the new myspace music player, let me tell you the epic story about all my problems in getting the new music player.
I was reading on forums, I read in Tom’s blog, I read everywhere about the new MySpace music player and how you could add multiple songs, and have multiple playlists and I wanted it soo badly. I went to the help center, I read how to add the player and what to do it step by step, but surprise, I couldn’t follow the steps because I did not have the “My music” button and a lot of other features they were describing.
I went crazy trying to add the music player, I even created a second MySpace account and SURPRISE, here it was, nice and shiny, the “My music” button. Ok, it works for the new account, but why not for the old account too? And after hours of searching and tormenting, I noticed that I was on the MySpace Australia server, you think it would not make a difference but it does. I edited my profile, I switched to the USA server and voila, the features were all there. The conclusion: not all MySpace servers have the latest updates, there is the possibility of having some buttons and features on some servers and other features on other servers. I have a friend on UK server and he does not have the features either. (this is true today November 07, 2008, maybe in time they will fix these differences)
Ok we are back in business, I can finally play, analyze, assess the New MySpace Player.
Add the New MySpace Music Player or change the old music player to the new one
After I moved to the USA server adding the new player was easy, I searched for an artist, I clicked to add her song on my profile as usual, and a pop-up window showed asking me if I wanted to switch to the new player or keep the old one…what do you think I answered?New MySpace Music Player Features
You can add as many playlists as possible, but only one will show in your profile, the one called My Profile Playlist. You usually can add as many songs possible, but in your Profile Playlist you can add only 10. All this things are being managed from “My Music Page”.
Also you will have a personal music player – a pop-out music player so you can browse the internet and work on your computer while still listening to music on MySpace.
You can also buy music on MySpace. Learn about all the features here: http://www.myspace.com/aplaceformusicHow do you delete songs from the new myspace music player
Go to Music, then click My Music, if you have 2 songs or more you have a playlist. Go to My Profile Playlist, the one in red, and delete each song by clicking the little x to the right of the song. Refresh the page after every delete.How do you go back to the old Myspace Music Player, how do you delete the new music player, how do you downgrade back to the old music player?
Go to manage your play list and delete all but the one song you want to keep then the new myspace music player transforms into a single song music player.Hide the new MySpace Music Player
Myspace has made it easy to hide the New Myspace Music Player but then it wont play; here are some simple steps:
Go to manage your playlists, click on the red one called “My Profile Playlist” and notice in the top right the check box called: “Display on My Profile”. Once you click that little checkbox to hide it, go look at your profile – It will be hidden.Now if you want to hide the new myspace multi-song player and still have it play the song use the code below (Pay attention, this code is valid today 9/25/2008, they are still making changes to the player, read Tom’s blog to understand the issues you may be having. New features are always a little glitchy at first. You may need to adjust the -25 number to another number depending on what other code you may have in your profile
<style>
embed, object {filter:alpha(opacity=0.2); opacity:0.02; -khtml-opacity:0.02;}
td td td embed, td td td object, table table td.text embed, table table td.text object {filter:none; opacity:none; -khtml-opacity:none;}

table table td.text div, table table div div, table table table div, div table table div, table div table div {position:static;}

Your instructions on how to add the new music player are simple but when I go to an artist page and click add on a song it still won’t give me the option.
I think my server is Canada. I don’t know how to switch it to USA.I’m so lost and out of all the forums yours is best with details.
HELP ME PLEASE!! =D

If you want to use the New MySpace Music Player you need to be on the USA servers, for the moment. They will update the rest of the servers too, soon I hope. Go to Edit Profile, than Account Settings (top right corner), than go to the tab called Account and set your “Preferred Site & Language” to USA.
Good Luck!

I want a single music player not that big one b/c it messes up my hole profile

@Danielle
You need to delete all the songs from your list and leave just one. Go to manage your play list and delete all but the one song you want to keep then the new myspace music player transforms into a single song music player. -

i love just having one song.

I could really use some help. I changed my profile to USA (English), even changed my location. I still have the old music player. I try to add another song to the player and all I get is this…
Do you really want to add this song to your profile?
Click “Add” only if you really wish to add this song.
No windows popping up asking me to switch, and if I accept, the music replaces my current song. Can anyone help, please?

@ Melissa
You probably did not change the server you are on. If you want to use the New MySpace Music Player you need to be on the USA servers, for the moment. They will update the rest of the servers too, soon I hope. Go to Edit Profile, than Account Settings (top right corner), than go to the tab called Account and set your “Preferred Site & Language” to USA.
Good Luck!

-

I had the same problem as Melissa… I’ve been craving this myspace player for ages!! I live in Australia, and did as you said with changing the preferred site language to U.S.A and clicked Save Changes… it still didn’t work for me after that.

thanks so much!
i’d been wanting this for like ever but i never knew how to get it (: -
Ok, so I’ve run into the opposite. All I can get on my profile page is a one song player; I’ve been searching for hours how to get the player to play more than one song. From the get go my preferred account settings are and have been on USA, and this wouldn’t even matter except I found this awesome young man whose voice and music is outstanding and I want all his music on my site to help promote him! How do I get the (a) player that will show more than one song?
Thank you so very much for your help and attention.

Heyy, i just wanted 2 say thanx.
this really worked and i needed it.
so thank you. -
I have the same problem as Melissa. I checked and made sure that I had set “Preferred Site & Language” to USA but it still won’t work. It’s really annoying me! Can anyone help?

@ agata, @ Lee, @ jeremy, @ Jazza, @ Linda L @ Ellie
So you all say that you changed your “Preferred Site & Language” to USA and it still does not work. There is the possibility that you think you made the above change but you did not, make sure that you did exactly what I recommended Melissa (see above), and make sure that you do not confuse “Preferred Site & Language” with Country from the Contact Info.
If you really are on the USA server, than go to the Music tab on the main menu. The music page looks different if you are on the USA server or on other server (change the server several times and notice the difference). On all servers, just below the main menu, below the music search field, you have a simple, text only, blue menu. On a normal server the blue menu has only 3-4 links, on the USA server there are 7 blue links. The first one (reading from left to right) is my music. It also has like a small comment box above saying “Click here to create your own playlist”.
If you are still not seeing it, it’s out of my hand
Good luck -

Okay, this helped a lot. Really, it did.
But I went to “manage my playlists” to delete all but one song, and I can’t find the way to delete it! All it has is the delete button for if you’re deleting an entire playlist but it won’t let me use that to delete individual songs. So how do you go about getting rid of the songs? -
thanks it worked =) i had to go under the music tab first and then click my music . thank you soooo much. i’ve been looking for answers for so long. =)
-
@ Kelsey
So. You are in Music>My music>My Public Playlists>My Profile Playlist
Notice on the right of every song a blue play button, a blue plus button and a grey x Click that button to delete the song -
I have a cutom layout for my page, and the new player has thrown everything out of alignment. I cannot reach the designer who made the code for us, so I have no idea what numbers/codes to change to put everything back in place. Any ideas? If I e-mail you the code, can you identify what needs to be fixed by looking at it and my page? Thanks!
-
Oh I see! I was trying to change it on “Contact Info” rather than “Account”.
It makes so much more sense now xD
THANK YOU. It works! -
Hiii
on myspace.com/amandamichellejrox

everything i try doesnt work -
sheenaharris April 2nd, 2009 at 2:38 am
whats the menu?
the one which says: TOP ARTISTS/SHOWS/FORUMS ?
bcos i have the same problem. I checked and made sure that I had set “Preferred Site & Language” to USA but it still won’t work.!!!!!!!!!!1 -
@ sheenaharris
yes the one that says TOP ARTISTS/SHOWS/FORUMS and it starts with My Music and Music Videos. My music is the first link on the left -
@holly
If you have the New MySpace Music Player, and you have several songs, so its a playlist, the “pop out player” thing appears automatically
