Is Facebook eyeing a music-streaming service, a la Spotify?

So how will the Cupertino-based service match against the popular paid premium subscription service?
At the moment, it is hard to determine which of the two will emerge on top of the highly profitable music streaming service industry.
“We’re dedicated to exposing and discovering new music… and to tipping our hat to the legends”.

In fact, Apple Music’s 24-hour radio station that broadcasts live was not considered to be a successful move.
