Social network Facebook will launch a new music service on its website in partnership with other online music services, a media report said.  

The launch is likely to be announced at a conference in August, Xinhua, a Chinese news agency, reported citing US media.

  Technology blog GigaOM said users will find a new tab called Music in the left-hand column on their pages, right where Facebook lists Photos, Friends, Deals etc., and clicking on the new tab will open a page called Music Dashboard.  

The dashboard will feature friends' recommended songs, top songs, top albums and a "happening now" ticker that shows songs friends are playing.  

The blog said Facebook has partnered with the European music streaming service Spotify, which is gearing-up to enter the US market.
