A "This isn't the song I wanted" button would probably be a good first step. posted by Faint of Butt at 12:14 PM on October 11, 2011
Man, the people that did the work importing all of the music from the Majors at MySpace would have a ton to say about this. posted by flaterik at 12:19 PM on October 11, 2011
Musicbrainz would also seem to have some relevant experience to offer Facebook. posted by immlass at 12:37 PM on October 11, 2011

Interesting that Google Music doesn't appear to be trying to tackle this problem head-on. They have a playlist generator, which works reasonably well, but it's still based off your own library of music. posted by Civil_Disobedient at 2:51 PM on October 11, 2011
They don't want to create one true catalog of music. Facebook wants to use their platform to push the latest twangy-voiced manufactured star's shit down our throats. (See: Kelly Clarkson, Demi Lovato.) posted by dunkadunc at 3:26 PM on October 11, 2011
They need to do it quickly. I miss how easy MySpace was. I tried to set up a Facebook page for my band and I ended up going through Roots Music via Bandpage via Soundcloud. MySpace Music was so EASY - soundclips, tour dates, everything. I discovered so many bands that way. posted by Lovecraft In Brooklyn at 4:34 PM on October 11, 2011
That's a Metafilter's Own, by the way. posted by mkb at 5:55 PM on October 11, 2011
I love how technology and marketing have combined to make something as difficult and onerous as listening to music into something so simple and intuitive...
