p2pnet news view | Music:- Is Facebook, in trouble with users over the site’s too-extreme makeover, about to woo them with music?

“Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg is plotting a possible push into the digital-music business in the wake of MySpace’s launch of MySpace Music last month,” states the New York Post.

But maybe not.

“Nothing is imminent … and based on source that I spoke with last month, while Facebook continues to talk with music executives there is still internal conflict at the company about any new music service,” says AllFacebook, going on:

“Ultimately I’m not sure that Facebook’s activities are a direct response to the launch of MySpace Music as I’ve been hearing these rumors for at least a couple months. The Post claims that ‘the concept is believed to have peaked’ though ‘now that MySpace is live with its service’. The future of a Facebook music service still seems unclear at this point, but you can never give up a good opportunity to speculate about future plans!”

Meanwhile, “Facebook declined comment on the situation specifically, but a company spokesman said in a statement that ‘music sharing plays a part’ in the site’s mission and that it is ‘always talking with potential partners’,” says the New York Post.
