Facebook Now Offers Music Samplers

[Katie Schmitz]

Facebook's Apple Student Facebook Group (http://unl.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2204894392) now offers a weekly free sampler of 25 songs. This week's sampler includes songs from Cartel, The Early November, 30 Seconds To Mars, and many others.

Well yeah man.

Does Rupert Murdoch own Facebook too? I see adds for Foxnews sometimes.

[*crying stars*]

this is very cool. radio and mtv are becoming more irrellevant by the day.

[average_jane]

I think Facebook is pretty cool for doing this.

Well yeah man.

Nope. Its still owned by that Zuckerberg kid who developed it. He's only like 23 and was offered $750 mil for the site but didnt accept in hopes of getting a higher offer in the future. What an asshole.

I thought they had long since become obsolete.

[romeo08]

I have discovered 3 new bands thanks to this!

[calciumwaste]

My American Heart is on this. that made me happy.

Facebook needs to find a way to add music to profiles. Maybe a deal with Purevolume? I personally think FB is already better than myspace, but adding some sort of music playback feature would solidify it.

[kittypants]

this is awesome. i noticed the little ad for the Apple group about a day before this was posted...i love the Mates of State song though it's not nearly as good as anything off of "Team Boo"

Wait... he's stupid for passing up a 750 million dollar offer? Doesn't that just show that he actually cares about the site and doesn't want to see it go to crap?

And I for one don't think Facebook needs music. They're already better than MySpace, they shouldn't try to be it.

Well he wants 2 billion, that's why he hasn't sold it yet.
