facebook to launch a music dashboard.

Soon: Listen to music via Facebook

Apparently, Facebook, the social networking giant, is planning to capture more time of yours by introducing your favorite element: Music to its features kitty. Facebook is reportedly getting closer with Spotify and other music companies to bring this feature to its users. The feature is expected to hit the audiences by the end of august.

As explained by gigaom's Om Malik, the Music Dashboard will have the following features:

• Music Notifications: here you have notifications that show if your friends have listened to songs recommended by you or on your profile.
• Recommended Songs: You can get a list of songs heard and recommended by your friends. You can also play them back by clicking the play icon.
• Top Songs from friends.
• Top Albums from friends, with cover art.
• Recent listens from your friends.

In the upper-right corner there will be a “happening now” ticker that shows what is happening in your social and musical universe, including songs that your friends are playing. There is some talk that this “Happening Now ticker” would show-up all throughout your music experience and not just on the music dashboard.
