Facebok Vibes or Facebook Music service?

Facebook is preparing to implement a music service on the user pages, as a result of partnerships with Spotify, Mog, Rhapsody, Slacker and Rdio, according to Reuters citing sources close to the situation.

Until now, Facebook has declined to share informations related to the music platform. A few months ago, several technology blogs wrote that a programmer founded the code for a Facebook product called "Vibes".

The music platform could be presented at the Facebook conference, which will take place on 22 September. Facebook officials did not comment on the information. Although Facebook is the most popular social networking service, with more than 750 million users, founder Mark Zuckerberg wants to increase the number of users who are online on Facebook.

Thus, the music service is just one aspect of the strategy to improve Facebook, and is also expected that social network to partner with other multimedia producers such as movie studios.

Facebook music could get this in direct competition with other providers of streaming audio, domainated by by Apple's iTunes.
