Facebook introduces a new miniplayer that streams Spotify from the Facebook app — techcrunch.com
One important thing to note here about how all this works is that the integration allows the music or podcast content to actually play from within the Spotify app. When a user presses play on the miniplayer, an app switch takes place so the user can log into Spotify.
