MANILA, Philippines – Facebook on Thursday, November 5 (November 6 Manila time), introduced a new feature to its Facebook iPhone app that lets users share song snippets to their friends on the social network.
Called Music Stories, the new post format “allows people to listen to a 30-second preview of the shared song (or album) while on Facebook.”
Music Stories currently supports Apple Music or Spotify, depending on the link source. Listeners can then buy the song or have it to the music service they saw it on.
Facebook explained the system further:
The previews from Apple Music and iTunes are available directly through Facebook. If you want more, click through to stream full tracks on Apple Music or add music to your library with a single click to purchase through the iTunes store. The previews from Spotify are also available directly through Facebook. If you want more, click through to stream full tracks on Spotify or add to your library without leaving Facebook. We will expand Music Story support for additional streaming music services soon.
We’re introducing “Music Stories” today to enable better music discovery and sharing on Facebook. The new post format…
