Instagram Is Adding a Myspace-Like 'Song On Profile' Feature (theverge.com) 10
Instagram is adding a new feature today that will "allow users to add a song on their profile -- much like Myspace in the early 2000s," writes The Verge's Mia Sato. From the report: The music added to a user's profile shows up in the bio area, according to screenshots shared by Instagram. A song will be featured on a profile until the user removes or replaces it. But unlike Myspace, songs won't autoplay -- people viewing a profile with a song can play and pause the track. Users can add a song by going to the "edit profile" page, where they'll be able to search for and select a track from Instagram's library of licensed music that's also available for things like Reels or posts. From there, users will be able to select a 30-second-long portion of the song to add.

Why the fuck would I choose a generic-sounding song from a curated library?
It would have been nice to leverage the power of Suno, for example.

This makes my refusal to use Instagram all the more justified. Nothing interesting, beneficial, entertaining, or even mildly useful has ever been posted to Instagram.
