Facebook launches Music Stories for video previewsNovember 6, 2015 - 14:29 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - In its on-going quest to make the sharing of things easier, Facebook has a new way to tell others what users are listening to. The new feature, or post format, is called Music Stories, Engadget reports. Instead of posting a link to the song or album a user is listening to, Music Stories offer a 30-second clip from either Apple Music or Spotify. There's an option to continue listening via the streaming service the song or album was shared from, too. And users will have the choice of making a purchase from iTunes (for Apple Music) or saving the tracks for listening later as well. While only two streaming options are supported right now, Facebook says it is looking to add more services in the future. Based on rumblings about the social network's audio aspirations, this is probably only the start of having more music in your News Feed. Music Stories are only available on the Facebook iPhone app, and there's no word on when/if they'll arrive on Android and other versions of the software.
