SAN FRANCISCO, June 20 (Xinhua) -- Facebook will launch new music service with a music tab and music dashboard in partnership 1 with other online music services at its f8 annual developer conference in August, U.S. media reported on Monday.
According to technology blog GigaOM, users will find a new tab called Music in the left-hand column on their pages, right where Facebook lists Photos, Friends, Deals and etc., and clicking on the new tab will open a page called Music Dashboard.
The dashboard will feature friends' recommended songs, top songs, top albums and a "happening now" ticker that shows songs friends are playing.
The blog said Facebook had reached partnership with Europe's popular music streaming service Spotify, which is gearing up to enter the U.S. market, and other online music services.
Much of the attention at f8 should be focused on music, the blog quoted sources as saying.
Last month, Facebook CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg said at the eG8 Forum 2 in Paris that he believes Facebook will focus on streaming music next.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
