Social Player | Facebook Music Status For iPhone
Social Player enables you to share any song that you’re listening to on your iPhone directly to your Facebook status at the click of a button. The app simply runs on top of the existing iPod software and all you have to do is tap the button (left) to share the song you’re currently listening to. The app currently doesn’t link directly to a song, it just notifies song title, artist, and album, as well as the album cover (I am assuming that functionality will follow). Music status obviously isn’t new (Skype/Blip/etc.) but iPhone/FB integration makes it the easiest music-status-updater I’ve come across to date. I guess means it’ll be adding to my already quite large status pie, providing people can get over the fact it’s not free and there’s no links to actual songs (i.e. it’s not a player – yet).

Hello rubbishcorp staff,
I am the main developer of Social Player. Thanks for trying our app and discussing it on your blog. I just wanted to say that Social Player does already link your facebook entries to iTunes. First of all we can only include a link when you publish the song as a story because status updates are always plain text. Furthermore Social Player can only include the link when it finds the song in iTunes. So, if for example an artist’s name is wrongly spelled – e.g. Dave Mathew instead of Dave Matthews –, there will possibly be no link. Fortunately iTunes is quite resilient regarding typos. As a rule of thumb you can expect your wall entry to be linked to iTunes when it includes album art.
Best regards,
Henry Mueller
