That's a matter of opinion, but there's no denying that **MySpace is still a powerful player in the music space**. So the big question may really be, can MySpace Music survive the wider MySpace decline? 

"Not unless it figures out a **better way to keep visitors at the site,**" according to Padaget. "A non-user’s typical visit might begin and end at one artist’s page. **When you’re done with the band, you’re done with the site.**"

The solution: "MySpace needs to **guide users to similar artists**, perhaps artists recommended by the band itself. There are too many obscure artists for a computerized system like Pandora to be effective, but **personal tips from a favorite band**, linked to the respective artist pages, might add an idiosyncratic twist."

"The page structure is there; MySpace Music just needs to connect the dots." Unfortunately for MySpace Music, there are a whole lot of dots to connect.
