YouLicense.com, the global online music licensing platform, launches a new widget for music artists to use on social media sites such as MySpace, Facebook, Bebo, Blogger and Wordpress. The YouLicense widget allows artists to more easily make their music available for commercial licensing in TV, films, advertising and web content.

The widget, which is easily embedded in Web pages and social network profiles, allows anyone from fans to producers to listen to and license music via the YouLicense platform.

In setting up the widget, artists designate which songs they want to offer for licensing. The widget then features that music with a “license this song” link next to each song. This link will take users back to the artist’s personalized store on YouLicense.com, where interested parties can close the licensing deal.

“I’m a big believer in social network distribution. We know that artists who offer the right licensing tools on their sites and profiles bring immediate results and revenues for themselves,” said YouLicense.com CEO Maor Ezer.

“The new YouLicense.com widget is going to be the killer app for any band or artist looking to get their songs in a music supervisor’s hands,” said Justin Nihiser from the power-pop-rock trio We Are Berliners. “Widget today, signed tomorrow!”
