Spotify will be integrated into Facebook

As you know, there is practically nothing on Facebook that music lovers would like. The same "Vkontakte" contains a huge library of music files (of course, almost all of them are placed illegally), allowing users to listen to all this for the time being absolutely free. Facebook cannot allow its users to upload audio files to the service, as lawmakers can quickly do all sorts of bad things with Facebook if they find that this social network allows users to share pirated music. Naturally, the development team constantly listens for requests to do something to correct this deficiency, and it seems that it does something.

It has recently become known that Facebook is actively working to integrate the Spotify music service. This service is not so popular among users of the CIS countries, but in the West, many people know it. In fact, in a couple of weeks, Facebook account holders can already enjoy their favorite music without leaving, so to speak, their account.

It is known that the integration of Spotify in Facebook will allow users to listen to music at the same time with their friends - in this way, you can arrange something of the estimated club of new songs, for example. And there is something to listen to, because Spotify now has millions of music files that are protected by copyright law, so Facebook will not have any problems with the law. It seems that the social network number 1 is going to become more media than it has been until now. Earlier, I recall, it became possible to rent films , so to speak.

It is reported that users will receive two types of access to Spotify: paid and free. Free subscriptions will be limited, this is natural. "Free" users get no limit in the number of files, and time limits - listening to music is limited to 10 hours per month.

A paid subscription costs 10 euros per month, and allows you to listen to music as much as you like.

This partnership agreement between Facebook and Spotify is non-cash, that is, none of the partners pays to another. But Facebook will get new users attracted by the new function, and Spotify will get new customers, and earn good money from it.

So services like last.fm receive a very serious competitor with whom it will not be easy to compete.
