Insert Music Into Your Orkut Profile :)

July 8th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Orkut Tricks

Many Orkut hacks do not work with Internet Explorer.So Get Latest Version of Firfox with GOOGLE toolbar to get the most out of Orkut.

When it comes to adding music to your profile, there are several Orkut Apps that you can easily use to insert your favorite song for your friends to hear.

Orkut Apps for music lovers range from iLike, to Music Playlists, but one Orkut App that caught my attention was My Music (not to be confused with the other My Music, which syncs with your iTunes).

Like most of the “insert music to profile” Orkut Apps, My Music heavily depends upon YouTube in order to display (and play) your favorite song.

After installing this app, users can simply type in a song…

…and hit the search button (with the magnifying glass on it) which will bring up a list of related songs, artists and videos.

Simply click on the song that you want to hear and a new page should appear with the lyrics to the song that you have selected.

Users can then select whether or not they want to add the song/video to their profile.

If you click yes, a pop up should appear alerting you that your song has been chosen. Afterwards, click over to your profile page and listen to your favorite song.

Important: Since not everyone will enjoy your music (or will be allowed to listen to it, especially if they are at work), please be sure to turn the auto play feature off.

Two other cool things that you can do with this Orkut app is that you can insert an image within the background, or even hide the video.

The only setback to this music Orkut app (and all of the ones similar to it) is that it does not allow users to upload their own songs directly, forcing them to host them on YouTube.

If a company could find a way to allow users to legally select (and play) any song of their choice (even if their was an audio ad in the begining), they would probably find themselves dominating Orkut (not to mention other social networks as well).
