Musicians freak out as they belatedly learn Myspace lost 50 million songs

You can now request for an invite to be part of the revamped MySpace social network.

LOS ANGELES: Myspace-related news travels very, very slowly in the late 2010s. So while the company had quietly acknowledged a massive data loss in response to user inquiries last year, it took until this weekend for the greater public to begin to become aware that all music uploaded to the site prior to 2015 has now migrated to the land of Nospace. That is to say: it’s toast. 

“As a result of a server migration project, any photos, videos, and audio files you uploaded more than three years ago may no longer be available on or from Myspace,” the company – now owned by Meredith – said in a statement at the top of their music player eight months or more ago. “We apologise for the inconvenience and suggest that you retain your backup copies.”
