According to a report in from an unspecified source to CNBC, the news should be almost certain. What is not yet clear is how the new music platform will work and will be integrated within the social network.

However, since the music market is tempting to online social networks in Palo Alto, is to be expected that, sooner or later, Facebook make the big step by launching its own music marketplace, also has a strong base of 750 million of active users including declared it would not be difficult to draw a significant percentage of potential customers.
All that remains is to wait for the end of September to find out the new service.
