a few years ago, Facebook launched an MP3 player on the page your Facebook, but now facebook remove an MP3 player and replaced with music streaming.
as reported by thenextweb, The “better ways” the company is referring to is music streaming. At the f8 conference, the company made it very clear that it was going all in with streaming music. Partnerships with companies like Spotify, Rdio, and those utilizing its new open graph, will be the gateway into music sharing on the social network.
This is just one of the ways that Facebook has begun cleaning up its platform to make way for more interactions via the newsfeed.
Sites like MySpace let bands upload and distribute their music directly from the site, but that’s clearly not a game that Facebook wants to get into. With copyrights and other issues surrounding uploading of music, Facebook has let its partners be judge and jury on what gets onto its platform. It’s a smart move.
