But if rumors prove true, when the service is unveiled, you'll see a Spotify icon appear on the left side of your Exchange of News, in the same column that lists the links to other pages, messages, events and photos. Clicking the icon Spotify will install the app through your desktop and allows you to play the songs of the catalogue of Spotify music via Facebook. The service will be would also listen to music a little more social, which allows you to listen to the music if your Facebook friends listen to the same thing at the same time on the site.

It will be available in countries where the Spotify is already available, which means be provided in the United States currently Spotify is only available in Sweden, Norway, Finland, United Kingdom, France, Spain and the Netherlands. The company is still reportedly to negotiate with music labels U.S. to the licence of the service in the U.S. Spotify has written would have an agreement with Sony and is close to an agreement with Universal. Spotify, however, has been stingy on its U.S. rumours offerings.
