Have you heard of increasing MySpace plays? Not necessarily inflating the plays, but increasing them! Most bands figured out how to do this pretty easily and MySpace retaliated quickly.

What they did was re-post their music player in other places to that more people could hear their music. It’s a pretty good idea allowing more people to listen to the music all over the internet and other places of MySpace they wouldn’t have been. The reason MySpace didn’t like it was because MySpace wanted to keep all the hits on their own website, allowing for more advertising revenue. The way MySpace fought back is they blocked the player from being re-posted in any other spot and sent out bulletins basically saying “don’t do that!”

Now, you can’t really blame MySpace for wanting to keep their stuff on their own site, especially since every time you post it somewhere else (a different website) MySpace is actually losing money because it takes from their bandwidth.

Ironically though, MySpace is beginning to block all the resource and support sites that so many people love to use. What exactly am I talking about? The sites users go to get layouts, graphics, codes, etc. Yes, they’re blocking these! Why would they do that? Because once again, they want to keep the traffic on their website. This is ironic because, although they are blocking the websites, they still allow for the resource sites’ graphics and layouts to still work making the MySpace users happy, but stealing the bandwidth from all the resource sites.

So if you want to copy a music player and increase its plays then here’s how to do it:
