I would like to add the "Listen Using Spotify" button to the top of my Facebook band page.

I've seen this Listen button on other Facebook band pages, but I'm not sure how to add it to mine. My band name is ( Mi Gaan ) and we would love to have this great addition to our band page to share our music with the fans. I'm not sure if I need to download an app or change my settings. Maybe, Spotify/Facebook hasn't gotten around to making this new feature availbe to everyone yet. Any tips? 😄 

Just in case if i'm not clear, this button would go in between the "Like" and "Message" button at the top of a Facebook band page. 

Cheers!

Hey there. Does this help?

It's not a button as such, although Spotify call it one, although using the embed code you could probably work out how to use the link with your own graphic I guess

[burningjoe]

thats nice, but that will only be a post in the Timeline. The button we are looking for would be like this image...

Ah OK you didn't say facebook band page. Not sure how but that must be an option within facebook itself to set up the link to your spotify artist profile

[burningjoe]

yeah I see that wasn't clear 9the Facebook part). I've gone through every possible option there and cant find anything that helps.

I only came here to the Spotify board because all the web links that i searched for said that Spotify and Facebook have partnered to make this happen, so I figured maybe there'd be some info here.

I do seriously apprecaite you even looking into it at all. thanks!!!

So there is no hope? 😄 I'll try asking a band who has it... It shouldn't be this hard.

Did you find out how to add the listen option to ur band page ?

[MandaJoCov · Accepted solution]

Your bands page has to have over 5,000 likes

https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=355486024500911

"Only some music Pages with more than 5000 likes are eligible to request the addition of a music catalogue and Listen button. These features allow people to listen to your music with a single click from your Page. You must be an official representative of the artist and have an existing music catalogue on a supported service, such as Spotify or Rdio."

Hi, anyone know if this can only be done if you have over 5,000 likes? Not very cool considering having a listening link would give bands the opportunity to get more likes!! I hate things like this that are a viscious circle.  

thanks for your help on getting an easy listening link on my facebook bandpage....

People having to click on the Bandpage app to be tehn re-dorected to hear your music is too much work!!!

the solution says the band page must have 5000 likes but i saw a band that has this feature that only have 800 likes. my band has just over 700 and i would like to add this feature. how is it possible?

[charliedenholm]

I saw that, but then I came across this band, who don't even have 1000 likes, yet still have the button
