I am not sure I understand all this hate for Myspace.

I am trying to figure out why a friend request from a total stranger is better on Ourstage than it is on Myspace. On one it's spam on the other it isn't?
On Myspace I get friend requests from fans, non musicians. Are there any non musicians on Ourstage?

Brian, would you care to share with us who this person is who has 50,000 friends yet cannot sell a single CD. I might go buy one just to try to help the poor guy out, LOL.

I don't think I have had more than two "Spam from Porn sites" in the couple years I have been there.
I don't solicit friends or listeners but my songs get played. Not a thousand plays a day. Just a few a day. But they are playing my songs. I am usually listed in the Top 100 in my home State Michigan. More often than not in the top 50.

Why is that a bad thing? What is it that Myspace is doing to me that is so terrible? They don't ask me for money, I don't get spam E-mail from them, And I have never been solicited for anything.
I get more plays of my songs than Ourstage, Soundclick, and JPFolks combined. If I post and solicit a song on JPFolks I will get listens for a few days, same with Soundclick. I use to get more plays on soundclick when I was active on the boards.I had more plays yesterday on Myspace than I have in the last week from the others combined. And I never solicit for plays or fans.
Why is that a bad thing?

And can someone explain for me why Ourstage has sub Genres for rock, metal, and Rap but none for country. They lump all Country under one channel. Traditional, Southern Rock, Classic, Modern, bluegrass, etc. Why is that?
