Facebook’s new update lets users include music in their posts, adding sound to the Facebook feed experience.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Facebook has introduced a new feature<\/a> that allows users to add music to their text posts. This recent update aims to make posts more expressive and engaging by letting users add a soundtrack to their timeline posts and updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you create a text update, you can now attach a song that will play automatically for people who have sound enabled while scrolling through their feed. Fortunately, the audio respects your existing settings, so it won\u2019t override other sounds if you have them off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Social Media Today<\/a> points out, this feature is reminiscent of earlier social media platforms such as MySpace, where user profiles featured a theme song that played when someone visited. Facebook\u2019s new option stops short of that kind of automatic sound but is a clear effort to reintroduce music more naturally into users\u2019 experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facebook has tried multiple ways to weave music into its platform before, including songs on profiles and music in comments. While most of these attempts have been short-lived, the company continues to experiment because music remains a major driver of user engagement on social apps. The new music post feature also comes alongside improved music recommendations, which means users will be suggested songs and artists more suited to their tastes when choosing tracks to add.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For musicians, this update creates an extra chance to connect with listeners. With RouteNote, artists can upload their music directly to Facebook<\/a> and Instagram at no upfront cost. By choosing RouteNote as your distributor, you can make your tracks available for fans to add to their posts and stories. When your music is used, RouteNote\u2019s content recognition system ensures you receive revenue from that usage. This applies to both Facebook and Instagram, which – top tip – share the same music store through RouteNote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
