Facebook Limits Use Of 'Listen' To Approved Partners
Facebook limits the use of the "listen" action to pre-approved music applications.
What’s the difference between listening to music and playing it? Plenty if you’re creating an application on Facebook.
Developers of music apps have an easier time getting Facebook to approve “play” than “listen.”
The latter requires the consent of the copyright holders, while the former doesn’t.
A Facebook spokesperson said via email:
Developers can submit any type of action for their app but we have a separate process in place for “listen” actions where we need to check that the developer has appropriate relationships in place with rights owners.
