Los Angeles, Sep 1(ANI): Facebook is reportedly planning to launch an online music service of its own at its F8 Developer Conference, which will be held in San Francisco on September 22.
According to CNBC's technology reporter Jon Fortt, the social networking website's owners are eager to enter the increasingly competitive market for online music.
"I'm hearing from someone familiar with the plans that Facebook plans to launch its long-rumored music service at the F8 conference on September 22. Now, it seems likely that Facebook won't actually host the music, but will partner with others who do that," the Los Angeles Times quoted Fortt, as saying.
Fortt also claimed that Facebook might be creating an environment where third-party music services such as Pandora, Spotify, MOG and others can offer their wares.
Facebook officials were unavailable to comment on the report.
Back in July, Facebook had launched an in-browser video chat feature.
More recently, the social network released Facebook Messenger - an iPhone app that allows users to quickly and easily send Facebook Messages to friends (ANI)
