There’s been rumors of Facebook’s music services. Here’s a screenshot of one of them, Discography (click through to full screenshot), an application that is apparently live and available for those who have advertiser “pages” to install.
Its description says it helps your “fans track the history of your records,” a place where you can “list your albums as well as the tracks each one included.” It’s designed specifically for musicians’ advertising “Pages” not normal profiles.
What’s not clear is how this will impact developers — there are currently 318 third-party applications on Facebook that are experimenting with music, listed by Facebook here.
Here’s what Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said about there being a level playing field for developers, at last month’s Web 2.0 conference:
“There may be something in ads. In the next few months there will be a lot more on that. We reserve the right to create anything and launch any application, but we want to work from a level playing field.”
