After Backlash, Spotify Adds Facebook 'Private Listening' Mode. In the wake of the Facebook-Spotify tie-up, have you found yourself censoring what songs you listen to on Spotify so your Facebook friends can't see? Now you can finally embrace your inner Selena Gomez. Spotify has added a "private listening" mode to counter complaints about the automatic sharing of playlists on Facebook. "We're rolling out a new client as we speak where you can temporarily hide your guilty pleasures. It works like a browsers private mode," tweeted Daniel Ek, CEO and founder of Spotify (pictured left with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg). "We call it 'private listening' and you can find it in the Spotify/File menu and toggle it on/off," he added.

To enable the feature, you'll need to upgrade your desktop client to the latest version of Spotify. "Many of our users have told us that they like to share what they're listening to, but also want an easy way to hide their occasional guilty pleasures," the spokewoman said. Rdio delivers free streaming music with no ads. Who needs Spotify? Rdio intends to one-up its competitors today with the introduction of a free on-demand streaming music service that has no ads. There is a limit to Rdio’s free music, though, and a meter at the top of the site will keep track of how much of it you have left for the month. An Rdio representative explains the free music limit like this: “The amount of free a person will get is dynamic and will be based on their own personal use and displayed in a meter in the corner of their profile.

A heavy user will get more, but probably not as much as they will want and a light user will get more than they’d ever want.” Download and Listen - Free Music - Millions of Songs.
