In case there was any chance that you don't spend quite enough time stalking your frienemies, perusing through pictures and posting status updates, the Facebook Music service will make it even harder for you to press that dreaded "Log Out" button. The popular social networking website has come such a long way since its single photo and info interface, and where the plethora of applications have not roped you in, perhaps some free tracks will.
There is little information about the Facebook Music service at this point, but apparently users will begin to see it take effect in about a month's time. As is the case for most of the media accessed through the site, the songs that members can listen to through FB will be hosted by its media partners.
