Facebook goes after MySpace to attract bands

Bands now have another option when deciding how to promote their stuff. The iTunes link look like a good idea.

Following news that it would launch a music component where bands can showcase songs and sell music, Facebook has found an ally in iTunes.

Facebook’s new music service enables bands to sell tickets and merch via Music Today. Tracks can also be streamed, with links to iTunes where users can purchase songs directly.

Users can now become fans of artists, whose music can be rated and reviewed. 100 artists have created a profile, including Coldplay, the Dave Matthews Band, Gnarls Barkley and The Decemberists, PC World reports.
