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]

Facebook’s integration with Spotify has really been pissing a lot of people off. A lot of people have been asking me how to disable Spotify from automatically posting to your Facebook ticker. Here is how you do it:

Spotify is a streaming music service that recently launched in the U.S. About 1.4 million people in the U.S. had joined for the free trial and now Spotify has 175,000 paying subscribers. It has been less than a month after they launched in the U.S. This is a 12.5% conversion rate. In Europe, Spotify hits about a 15% conversion rate.
