How to Change the Artist's Name on iLike

If you need to change your band's name, things can get tricky, particularly if you have a loyal online following. The website iLike.com -- a partner of MySpace Music -- allows you to showcase your music and tour dates as well as connect with your fans. You cannot directly change the band's name on iLike, so iLike recommends creating a new page and then providing your fans with the information. The website will then redirect your old page to your new page and transfer your fans. You will, however, need to upload your music and photos again.
