Spotify and Facebook are two of the biggest players in the mobile software market. But being a streaming music platform and a tool for the slow, screaming destruction of civil society (respectively), they don't have a lot of crossover. That's about to end. This morning Spotify announced that it's going to allow its users to listen to Spotify music and podcasts via a mini-player directly in the Facebook app on Android and iOS.
Why? Um... discovery, I guess. That's how the press release phrases it, anyway. It will be a little easier to listen to tracks that your Facebook friends share directly on their feed, but all that it's really saving you is a pop-out to the Spotify app. Spotify Premium members can access any part of the Spotify library; non-paying members only get a shuffle feature.
