Attention artists: Display your iTunes songs on your Facebook Page

To install this app on your Facebook page, simply go here Display your iTunes songs and albums on your Facebook page. Click on ‘Add on Page’ and you should see a new tab called ‘iTunes’ on your Page. When you click it, you will see the admin settings.

I just added a search box to every tab where users can easily search iTunes for songs about their artist.  I also made a way for the admin to choose between what type (songs/albums) they want to have as the default to load.

I made a Facebook application a few months ago where artists can add their iTunes songs to their Facebook Page. I made a few updates to this application and wanted to explain it a bit more. I don’t see why an artist would NOT want this on their Facebook Page.  After a few months when I originally created this, I decided to look through the records and see if any notable artists were using it.  I was very excited to learn this app is getting a lot of attention from mainstream artists (Dixie Chicks, Clay Aiken, Tech N9ne, Brotha Lynch Hung, Chalie Boy, Paul Wall).

Above is a screen shot of Dixie Chicks using the app on their Facebook Page.  The app is simple: It displays the recent songs and albums (which you can choose to filter) from that artist.  There is a share button next to every song/album.

Here is an example of what the admin of a page sees:

The example of the iTunes app that I administrate is showing that I’m using “Bruce Springsteen” and all you need to know is the artist’s iTunes id.  I made a really simple tool to find an artist’s iTunes id.

One of the weird problems with Facebook is the inability of a Facebook Page using the share button.  Whenever you press a “share button” whether your on your Page or Profile, it will always share through your Facebook Profile account.  I think Facebook will eventually make a way to share as a Page admin but the work around for this I made is the “Admin share url.”  All a Page admin needs to do is copy and paste the url as a link on their Facebook Page and it will post that iTunes song.

Right now I have this app completely free for anyone to use for Facebook Pages.  As of November 2010 the app has over 12,000 monthly active users! Check out my review on AppBistro.
