Facebook Music Stories Lets You Listen to Song Previews From Apple Music and Spotify

Facebook has announced a new Music Stories post format that lets users share previews of songs while on Facebook.

On the Facebook iPhone app, songs and albums shared from the leading music services will become “Music Stories,” a new post format which allows people to listen to a 30-second preview of the shared song (or album) while on Facebook. The preview is streamed from either Apple Music or Spotify (depending on the source of the link shared), and can be purchased from or saved to the respective music streaming service.

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.


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

You can download Facebook from the App Store for free.
