How to listen & enjoy music with your friends on Facebook?

 

                              

    Listening music & singing together with your friends has always been a  great experience but you can only do that when you guys are on a hangout. But here’s some good news. The whole experience is now going to be changed because now from home, you can now listen to music, with your friends/family members, on Facebook.
         



   Let's start, follow the given steps one by one to have a great and new experience on fb.
  

1. Go To Facebook Music

    When you are logged into your fb account, go to the Facebook Music page (Link) & there you will see the list of trending albums with music tracks powered by Myspace and Saavn. There’s also Spotify and Rdio but currently the use of these two are only supported in some countries.


2.  Add app to Facebook

     When you are in the Music page, pick any music you’d like to play and a pop-up window will ask you to add the service to Facebook. Simply click on the “Add to Facebook” button.

  Please Note : The pop-up window above is to add the Myspace application only. You will be asked again to add new apps should you want to play music from Spotify, Rdio or Saavn.
   





3. It's Time To Play!

    Once it has been added, the music app will be opened a new tab of your browser (or new window, if not supported) and then you will be redirected to the MySpace or the Saavn player page. No action is required, just wait for the page to be loaded and the selected song will be played automatically when it will be loaded.

       
 Now, from the next time if you want to start playing a song from Facebook, you will see a pop-up window asking if you would like to open a new tab/window to play that song.

         

 Now, let's check out who all are listening to Music

    Facebook Music keeps updating itself automatically, and you can check who is listening to which music. This also means that your friends will be able to know if you are listening or not, so then, they can join you or comment on your activity, or start a conversation (whatever they wish).


   There are several ways to find out if your friends are listening to music. Let's have a look.

1. On Wall 

  
On Facebook Wall, check the status updates on the right side. If your friends are listening music, you will be able to see the traction. Click on the traction status to see it in detail, comment to start a conversation and click “Play” to start playing the music.

2. On TimeLine

  On your Facebook Timeline, you will be able to see recently played music statuses and this will be update itself automatically (no need to update manually). Just click the play button to play the music or hover for more details.


3. On Chat Sidebar
 
    On your Facebook chat sidebar, there will be a music symbol updated next to your friend’s name if they are listening music at that moment. This feature is however currently available only for music played on Spotify and Rdio. If you listen with MySpace or Saavn, you may have to wait for this feature to be out.

   

Enjoying Music With Friends

 Now you can listen to music on Facebook, and check if your friends are listening songs too. So, how about the idea of listening together with your friends and also chatting about it in real time? Sounds cool....hah?? Right now, this feature is only available if Spotify and Rdio are available in your area.

   When this will be available, simply hover over your friend’s name (those having a music symbol next to them), & a new pop-up will open-up  with music details. Click on the “Listen with” button to enjoy listening the music with your friend, and just start chatting. When there are more friends listening together, the chat will automatically become a group chat.
