Spotify users can now listen to music and podcasts from within Facebook app

Spotify customers will now be able to listen to music and podcasts at a stretch using a mini player while scrolling within Facebook.

Spotify users will now be able to listen to full songs on the Facebook app. The development comes shortly after Facebook announced its plans to expand its audio offerings. The feature is now available in 27 markets where paying Spotify customers will be able to listen to music and podcasts at a stretch using a mini player while scrolling within Facebook. The mini player is an extension of the social sharing option already supported within Spotify’s app. With the new mini player available on Facebook, Spotify users will be able to share content to Facebook by tapping on the Share menu in the upper right screen and then select Facebook or Facebook Newsfeed. Users can access the mini player by tapping on the play button on the mini player that their friends or family have shared on the Facebook feed and will also be able to share it. Users will be required to log in to Spotify the first time they use the miniplayer, by tapping on Connect to continue. Users will have control over playback options so you can pause or dismiss the miniplayer.
