What Facebook needs to do to make Facebook Music what it should be: notes on building one true catalog of music.
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.

Musicbrainz would also seem to have some relevant experience to offer Facebook.

I cannot think of a worse fate: hearing something worse than John Mayer

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.

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.)

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.

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...
oh, wait...
