Web music: Want to add a little music to your website? Sonific allows merchants and consumers to select tracks from its library and create their own "SongSpots" that can be downloaded onto their site. The library contains thousands of songs, and users can even upload music they've created themselves. SongSpots are basically Flash objects that stream the selected music and can be quickly pasted onto websites, blogs, social network profile pages, eBay auctions and so on. Visitors not only hear the music, but can also click on the SongSpot logo to find out more about the artist or purchase the song from affiliates such as iTunes. Sonific is a free service--it makes money by offering targeted and strictly contextual advertising and by collecting commissions from e-commerce transactions that are generated by people clicking on the SongSpots.

Music Widgets for Friendster - adding music to your Friendster Profile is now even easier

My company www.sonific.com is one of the leading provider of music widgets for blogs, social networks and web2.0 sites, and we just launched a campaign with Friendster, introducing our SongSpots Music Widgets to the Friendster community. Check out the example, below, for how people are using our music widgets (the SongSpot is all the way at the bottom of this page).  Definitely interesting to see that 1000s of people are now selecting 'auto-play music' as an option for their sites and profiles - the web is going multimedia very fast (guess we were way too early in the late 90s)!  One big plus for us: our music is actually licensed (as opposed to some other players that operate in this turf..;)

Also, if you want to try this yourself, check out Sonific's friendster profile (and add us a friend or become a fan), check out the Sonific / Friendster FAQ and user guides, as well as the 'SongSpots on Friendster examples.  Lastly, here is the link to my Delicious bookmarks showing some of the latest updates on Friendster-Sonific users...

www.myspace.com/sonific: how to make your widget links work on myspace

Myspace has been barring outgoing links from widgets for some time now; this has also affected Sonific - the player works fine but you can't click anywhere. So we just launched a new widget that will include the links underneath the player (rather than in it) which sort of solves the problem ;). Check it out. The Sonific MySpace guide is here, btw.
