Facebook launches Music Stories to enable music discovery and sharing Thursday Nov 05,2015

 

Facebook announced on Thursday Nov 05,2015 the launch of Music Stories, intended to enable music discovery and sharing on the social network.

The new post format on the Facebook iPhone app will allow users to hear 30-second previews of songs streamed from either Apple Music or Spotify. The songs can then be purchased from or saved to the respective streaming service.

For Apple Music or iTunes previews, users can click through to stream the full tracks on Apple Music, or they can purchase through the iTunes store with a single click.

Spotify tracks can be streamed in full on Spotify by clicking through, or they can be added to your library without your leaving Facebook.

Facebook says it plans to expand support for additional streaming music services soon.
