Facebook is starting to roll out a new feature that allows you to listen to the same music that your friends on Facebook Chat are listening to. If you see a music note next to one of your friends on Facebook Chat, you can listen to the same music they are using services like Spotify or Rdio. To listen with your friend, hover the mouse above their name and click the “Listen With” button. If you do not want to share what you are listening to, visit the App Settings page after installing the app. [Facebook Blog]
