What Parents Need to Know
About Music.MySpace
Parents need to know that teens need a MySpace account to access this music feature, so the usual concerns about privacy and social networking sites apply. Teens can listen to music for free, but there are plenty of opportunities to buy MP3s, albums, and ringtones through third-party sites. The extensive song library runs the gamut from completely tame to totally age-inappropriate, even for teens (some are very sexual, others reference violence and drinking, many have strong language, etc.). There's a fair amount of hating and other iffy behavior in the forums.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what kind of music teens like and why. Do you listen to lyrics, or is it just the music itself that matters? If you liked a band's music but objected to their lyrics or message, would you still listen to them? How does the media help you discover new artists or groups? Parents can also review guidelines for social networking sites. What's safe to post, and what's off limits? How do you know whether you can trust someone enough to make them a "friend" so they have access to your private information?
