...current size of its library notwithstanding, MySpace Music does a number of things that will excite music fans - and might help the social network fight off rival Facebook, which since April has surpassed it in monthly traffic. A set of tools called MyMusic lets you create a limitless number of playlists (with as many as 100 songs on each) that you can listen to on the site or share with your buddies.
