Yandex Launches Facebook Integration for Music

Internet, November 17, 2011. The Yandex.Music app is now available on the social networking website Facebook. Facebook users can tell their friends about their favorite songs simply by playing them on Yandex.Music. The integration of the service into Facebook makes it easier for users to learn about the music preferences of their friends and also discover new artists and compositions.

Every track the user listens to on Yandex.Music instantly appears in their friends’ news feeds on Facebook. Users of the popular social networking website can play tracks that their friends listened to on Yandex.Music right from their Facebook news feeds, with no additional registration or authorization. Currently, Yandex.Music features 2.6 million music compositions by Russian and international artists available in high-quality audio for free licensed streaming.

“People have always shared music online. First, it was just a song title below a blog entry. Then, everyone started sharing links to other websites with some music content – single tracks or, like it is on Yandex.Music, entire playlists. Now, someone can just stream a track online and their friends will instantly be able to click ‘play’ to listen to this composition,” says Sergei Fayfer, Project Manager at Yandex.Music.

The Yandex.Music app is built on the Open Graph API and is available to users in Russia.
