New Facebook app for music, soundtracks

FACEBOOK on Wednesday said its mobile app will get an ear for music and  film and TV show soundtracks.

A feature being added in coming weeks to Facebook in the US on smartphones and tablets is intended to recognize songs, shows or movies based on listening, according to product manager Aryeh Selekman.

“When writing a status update — if you choose to turn the feature on — you’ll have the option to use your phone’s microphone to identify what song is playing or what show or movie is on TV,” Selekman said in a blog post.

Once activated, the audio feature searches for titles of songs, shows or films matching verses, lines or soundtracks, according to Selekman.
