From PC World: Twitter has a new partner to try and popularize the concept of sharing and listening to music on the social network.
Music streaming service Rhapsody recently announced during SXSW that its members could now share music on Twitter. The new feature takes advantage of Twitter's audio card feature, meaning Rhapsody tunes that pop up on Twitter can be streamed in full directly inside Twitter's mobile apps.
Rhapsody says it is the first streaming music service to offer licensed full-track playback on Twitter.
The new feature lets all Rhapsody members share music directly from Rhapsody's apps, the company said. In my tests, however, I couldn't get the feature to work with an unRadio trial subscription. UnRadio is Rhapsody's $5 per month Internet radio service.
Full-track playback is free and you don't have to be a Rhapsody member to listen. The new feature only works on mobile apps and doesn't work on Twitter's website.
