社群服務下一步的重點就是線上音樂內容？近來盛傳 Facebook 會在 9 月 22 日的 F8 開發者大會，宣布線上音樂服務；據悉 Facebook 並不會單獨出招，浀虓|與合作夥伴結盟，目前的對象名單包括了，Spotify、MOG、Rhapsody、Slacker、Rdio 等。
這次的八卦來自於 CNBC 的官方 Twitter 消息。繼先前積極結合群聊服務，為加深使用者的黏著度，線上音樂服務近來被視為 Facebook 下一步發展重點；不同於蘋果、Google、Amazon 自己開發經營，有意發展為社群平台的 Facebook，可能會選擇與現有合作夥伴結盟的動作。
其實在之前 Facebook 公開視訊聊天服務時，就曾被人發現名為「Facebook Vibes」的代碼，一個整合音樂下載視窗的內容，當時雖被媒體披露，但沒有獲得 Facebook 的官方回應。

Facebook preps social music with partners: sources
NEW YORK | Wed Aug 31, 2011 9:13pm EDT
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Facebook is putting finishing touches to new features on users' home pages that deeply integrate music services from partners including Spotify, MOG, Rhapsody, Slacker and Rdio, according to people familiar with the plans.
The music platform is expected to be unveiled at Facebook's developer conference, which kicks off on September 22.
Facebook was not immediately available for comment.
Though Facebook is the world's most popular social networking services with more than 750 million users, its founder Mark Zuckerberg is keen to increase the amount of time users spend in the Facebook environment.
Music is said to be just one aspect of the strategy to improve Facebook's 'stickiness' and it is also expected to partner with other media content owners like movie studios.
"They are working on a platform for music where the goal is to create a connective tissue for fans," said one person familiar with the talks who asked not to be named as the plans are confidential.
Facebook has declined to comment on its new music platform before, but in July several technology blogs reported a software engineer had uncovered programing code for a Facebook product called 'Vibes' for music downloading.
Facebook could give an important boost to its fledgling music streaming partners as they try to compete in a digital music sector dominated by Apple Inc's iTunes's download store. Apple is also readying a streaming service called iTunes Match expected to launch this fall.
The largest music subscription service, Rhapsody, has about 800,000 paying users after nearly 10 years. The next largest in the United States is believed to be Slacker, which claims some 400,000 subscribers, while more recent start-ups like MOG and Rdio are estimated to have significantly less than that.
