Spotify IPO: What You Need to Know About This Unusual Event · Fortune

Spotify is letting users share songs with friends without having to actually open its app.

The music streaming company debuted a new feature on Wednesday that lets people create and share their song playlists with others through Facebook's fb Messenger service.

The new feature builds on an existing integration between Facebook's Messenger service and Spotify that the social network announced in April during its annual developer conference. As part of that partnership, Facebook Messenger users could stream and share their favorite songs—but not their playlists—without having to open the Spotify app.
