Facebook adds a “Listen” button to musician Pages right next to the Like button. When clicked, the artist’s songs negin to play in your most frequently used Facebook music streaming app such as Spotify or MOG. If you haven’t authenticated any music apps, Facebook will prompt you to set up the one that’s most popular with your friends, or around the world.
Now with just a single click of an immediately visible button, visitors to Facebook Pages can sample an musician’s sound and decide if they want to “Like” them. The button will help artists get more people to fall in love with their recorded music, and while streaming royalties are small, it could get inspire people to buy high margin t-shirts and concert tickets.
