Facebook i-like music application automatically pulls music from garageband....
So I joined facebook. It was ok. Then I added the ilike application. I copied in my list of music picks from my myspace page (I seem to have pages everywhere) into it. Anyway, I had V Frequency in there and lo and behold there is a page for me!
http://apps.facebook.com/ilike/artist/V+Frequency
As it turns out, the songs I still have up on Garageband automatically feed the i-like application. I have also found pages for a lot of the artists here on IAC. What do you guys think of IAC making a deal with the i-like people to supply music from here too?
I haven't been reading all that much, so if this is old news, sorry. haha.

Garagebland and iLike are owned by the same people. Many garageband artists aren't too thrilled with iLike. Some say the site went to crap when iLike was started. You have to upload a toolbar to use it I think. Personally I think it's a lot of hype and I don't appreciate them spamming the fuck out of me either.

Hi Toby,
How ya doin?
Ahhh, well that makes sense that they are owned by the same company. How did you start getting spam from them? I never heard of i-like until I got facebook and I haven't been really using garageband ever since you guys started IAC. IAC is a much nicer environment.

Garageband and IAC are completly different. I am on Garageband soley to get reviews of my music. You can usually tell if your song has merit because the reviewers can be brutally honest.
IAC'S Functionality and community blow it away...I don't consider them competing sites.

I think Garageband blew an opportunity to be massive..
I thought it was an amazing site when i first went there 5 years ago-and the basic 'song contest' song V song competition was a really radical idea..
Trouble is they never considered life for the average listener..
I mean the station facilities there are total rubbish comparison with IAC-which are far and away far the best on the net..
I can't understand why they never developed that..
Now there's zero community there either..
I don't understand why myspace has never bothered developing the idea of 'stations' for the casual listener-but i'm sure iac s pleased they havn't!

I agree. I don't really like Garage Band's functionality and it's really hard to find a community there. And iLike is all rigged by "the big boys" who pay to advertise and get there artists to pop up everywhere.

Well there is one feature of ilike that is cool. It lets you know when all of the bands in your list are having shows, listing the local shows first. I now know about a great show coming up that Blonde Redhead and The Raveonettes are playing together! Woohoo!
