Instagram Is Adding a Myspace-Like ‘Song On Profile’ Feature

Instagram is adding a new feature today that will “allow users to add a song on their profile — much like Myspace in the early 2000s,” writes The Verge’s Mia Sato. From the report: The music added to a user’s profile shows up in the bio area, according to screenshots shared by Instagram. A song will be featured on a profile until the user removes or replaces it. But unlike Myspace, songs won’t autoplay — people viewing a profile with a song can play and pause the track. Users can add a song by going to the “edit profile” page, where they’ll be able to search for and select a track from Instagram’s library of licensed music that’s also available for things like Reels or posts. From there, users will be able to select a 30-second-long portion of the song to add.
