i'm in the same boat. i tried the simple way out and just deleting accounts to rebuild them, but haven't been able to get them to actually cancel my account so far. some of my friends told me it took up to a year to get myspace to delete some of their accounts, if they were ever cancelled at all.

i've tried everything above, including trying to contact myspace (if you know how to get their attention, please let me know!) but i'm still at a loss. it's too bad when you sign up for a normal account you're told you can upload music and videos, but they neglect to say you can't upload your OWN until after you're signed up!

if anyone finds a way that works, PLEASE let us know - thanks!

I tried it, searched all over the web and found many people having the same problem. aparently this may have worked at some point but I believe they took away the feature because it would conflict with the feature for people who don't accept bands as friends. If you are someones friend who doesn't want band friends and you convert, well there's the problem.

It seems the only way is to cancel and recreate your profile.
you have to reconnect with your contacts from scratch so save or print your friends page

good luck
my new page (my old page links to the new, best of both worlds i guess)
http://www.myspace.com/glut...
and since I now have a band page, my old page has a song on it from the band page and the default on the band page is diferent from the song on my old page.

I got this message from myspace when asking them about it...

<ul id="quote">
If you have created a personal user page in error and would like to convert to a band page:

1) Click on the following web link,
http://www.myspace.com/inde...

2) Logon as requested with your email address and password in the fields provided.

3) Read the information listed and click the Convert Me button to make the change.

Sincerely,

MySpace.com Customer Support Team

That's from myspace</ul>

The only problem is, as to why this link we are all using isnt working is.... Their is no fukin convert me button :(

Anymore help from anyone who maybe has managed to contact tom would be most appriciated, Maybe we should all message him at once to get away from counting his cash and get it sorted!

Sorry...never seen a way to go back, and actually MySpace, when the band convert script was active, said you could not.

It seems MySpace shut off this conversion script, forcing anyone wanting a band site to get a new one...ugh.

my last post on
Thu Oct 12, 2006 11:41 am
was nonsense. just realised what i've done. sorry about that.

while testing our different ideas with a couple of accounts i had a few browsers open and i thought i had converted a non music profile when in fact i was looking at a dummy band profile i had created as such.

sorry about that :(

but i did convert an account last week with the other method above. its obvious that myspace have changed or disabled the bandprofile.convert script for some reason.

:evil: I've seen a number of posts on this...and have tried it both with, and without, the token and with the Comedian convert hack, etc. The Music template looks like it's there...but it doesn't actually convert...the Manage Songs page, as others have reported - keeps coming up saying it's full and doesn't allow anything to be uploaded...and then the page reverts.

I have three musician friends that need this fix badly...if anyone gets it...please let me know!!! Thanks!

hey thanks for this great topic! i followed the instructions faithfully but when I got to the upload songs it said i'd uploaded the maximum # of songs and that there were no songs uploaded. So clearly i'm not getting band privileges. I did it with a test site like you suggested. any other help would be appreciated - but yeah myspace is very very annoying on this - i can't understand why they make it so difficult.

Ok, so I played around a bit more. Made up a pair of profiles and tried to convert them.
I Did manage to convert one using this method below - but only one.
What I mean is I created two new normal profiles tonight - one has converted and the other hasn't... I don't know why but I am sure i did the same both times but now I am getting too frustrated to try again - so by all means try the following but no guarantees...

Ok, this is a bit more complicated, please read it all carefully and remember i had one success and one failure with this method...
Maybe you can create a test profile yourself so you don't mess up your actual profile...

Method:
Okay, so you have a normal, non-music, non-comedy, non filmmaker profile.

the URL in the address bar is like:

profileedit.myspace.com/ind...

now paste this into notepad (I know we don't want a comedian profile - read all of this before you do anything!!!)

collect.myspace.com/index.c...

and add the Mytoken data from the URL

234ab1cd-5678-321b-8st9-44a12qwe4r06

making

collect.myspace.com/index.c... color="red">234ab1cd-5678-321b-8st9-44a12qwe4r06

put that back into the browser address bar

this will take you to a page with a question,
Do you want to convert your profile to a comedian profile?

BE CAREFUL HERE.... Don't CLICK THE LINKS

If you carefully put the cursor over the
[Yes, convert it to a comedian profile]

You will see the target URL in your status bar. The bit we need from the target URL is the long long long HASH code....

I suggest you RIGHT CLICK (carefully) the YES link and choose
Copy Link Location
or
Copy Shortcut
or Whatever your browser has as the option to copy the URL of a link...

Paste the URL from this link into Notepad... it will look a bit like this:

collect.myspace.com/index.c... color="red">d2d92eb96ffa2135ad0%471e5e520HELc46BIGf44aASS0569931b41774b039baef181f6dc7a2a551a6458a8de22446cc76d57ea84c455b04a1d307d4ac33049dd2d92eb96ffa2135ad0471e5e520c46f44a0569931%b4

OK so far? Ok. We need to change a little bit in the middle:

Where it says

fuseaction=comedian.convertProcess

we will change it to

fuseaction=BandProfile.convertProcess

so it will now say

collect.myspace.com/index.c... color="blue">fuseaction=BandProfile.convertProcess&hash=d2d92eb96ffa2135ad0%471e5e520HELc46BIGf44aASS0569931b41774b039baef181f6dc7a2a551a6458a8de22446cc76d57ea84c455b04a1d307d4ac33049dd2d92eb96ffa2135ad0471e5e520c46f44a0569931%b4

This is the URL to put back into your browser.

Obviously the HASH code has to be the one created in your browser while you are logged on - the code shown here is just made up and will not work so try to do as I have suggested

If you have followed it as above you will go to the page where you can update the band bio info - as seen before - still no prompt as you've just hacked the comedy prompt page - but now if you click View Profile you should hopefully see the Myspace Music bar is now on your profile as it is now a music profile...

Hope that works for some of you. Personally I think Myspace is just buggy.

Yes, it should ask you to confirm that you want to convert...

It is not working right now.
I don't know what to suggest. This worked on a dummy account i created last week. And again earlier today on another one. The Filmaker and Comedy ones are working at the moment but not the Band one. I can only assume that Myspace have changed one of the Coldfusion back end files.

If I find a new URL that does it I'll certainly post it.

Sorry !

Hi wert

Really hoping I can get your method to work. I've copied and pasted your link and added the token string from my existing session, but it's just not having it.

It looks like it's gonna work, the Edit "Band Profile >> Edit Band Bio" page opens, but no changes I make in there make any difference, they don't even get saved. If I go to the Basic Profile tab, the options in there are grayed out and nothing's selectable.

I think the first thing that should happen is some text should display warning that the change to a band profile is irreversible which I have to accept- that's the stage that isn't happening.

Anything else you can think of to try?

Thanx :)

This method is working on myspace today as long as you follow the instructions properly
- don't just click the link above
- copy it into your browser
- BUT add the mytoken data from your current session
- (just login to myspace, click to edit your profile and then copy the code from the end of that URL)

eg: your token bit looks like this:

MyToken=234ab1cd-5678-321b-8st9-44a12qwe4r06

so the complete URL might be:

editprofile.myspace.com/ind... color="red">MyToken=234ab1cd-5678-321b-8st9-44a12qwe4r06
but be warned, I think you can only convert once and then you can't convert back..

try

http://editprofile.myspace....

but add the mytoken data from your current session (just login to myspace, click to edit your profile and then copy the code from the end of that URL)

these might work also, but be warned, I think you can only convert once and then you can't convert back....

To Film Maker:
http://editprofile.myspace....

To Comedian:
http://editprofile.myspace....

but be warned, I think you can only convert once and then you can't convert back....
