Like it or not, the Facebook profile will surely evolve into being more colorful and cacaphonous. But Facebook profiles have a social depth that MySpace profiles lack, and it's not clear that music will turn out to be a centerpiece. As we are seeing, the F8 open ecosystem promises a wide array of customization options, most of those applications are playful and socially useful, not noisy. I think Facebook management -- and independent developers like Frett -- are careful to keep the profiles quiet, eg with the players in a click to play default mode.
