Shortly after Myspace was sold to News Corporation in 2005, the website launched a record label called [[MySpace Records]], with JD Mangosing as CEO, in an effort to discover unknown talent on Myspace Music,<ref name="autogenerated2"/> a service onto which artists can upload songs, EPs and full-length albums. As of June 2014, over 53 million songs had been uploaded to the site by 14.2 million artists.<ref name="the register">{{cite web|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/06/02/myspace_we_still_have_all_your_humiliating_photos_so_hows_about_reconnecting/|title=Myspace: Where are you going?

On March 18, 2019, it was revealed that Myspace had lost all of its user content from launch until 2015 in a botched server migration with no backup. Over 50 million songs and 12 years' worth of content were permanently lost.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/03/myspace-apparently-lost-12-years-worth-of-music-and-almost-no-one-noticed/|title=Myspace apparently lost 12 years' worth of music, and almost no one noticed|last=Brodkin|first=Jon|date=2019-03-18|website=Ars Technica|language=en-us|access-date=2019-03-20|archive-date=November 7, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201107224454/https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/03/myspace-apparently-lost-12-years-worth-of-music-and-almost-no-one-noticed/|url-status=live}}</ref> In April 2019, the [[Internet Archive]] recovered 490,000 MP3s "using unknown means by an anonymous academic study conducted between 2008 and 2010". The songs, which were uploaded between 2008 and 2010, are collectively known as the "MySpace Dragon Hoard".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mashable.com/article/myspace-internet-archive-rescue/|title=Internet Archive rescues half a million lost MySpace songs|last=Schroeder|first=Stan|website=Mashable|date=April 4, 2019|language=en|access-date=2019-07-17|archive-date=November 16, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201116004522/https://mashable.com/article/myspace-internet-archive-rescue/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Since early 2022, music upload and playback have been disabled on the website.
