Music Sites Need to Socialize

The synergy between online music services and social networks is obvious but so far under developed.

MySpace and Facebook are hubs for talking about music and are starting to link to services such as iTunes to sell music, but they don't have full access to a music archive. Services like Napster and RealNetwork's Rhapsody have the music, but don't have the social network capabilities of creating user pages to easily share playlists. Napster enables users to share music on social network sites, but the integration is incomplete.

last.fm is another great social network for music, although so far you can only listen to music via streaming, or 30-second previews..
