If words and images are not enough to define our personality, Facebook now offers the possibility of adding a piece of music to your profile . The song, which can be chosen from millions of songs, is not only a written title, but can be listened to with a touch by anyone who visits our profile .
This recent Facebook feature is quite hidden and not at all easy to find; music on Facebook, in fact, can be easily added to stories, but I believe few people know that it can also be added to your profile to make others listen to it.
Music and songs will not be played automatically when someone visits the profile, people will still have to press the play button in the player which can be positioned, if you wish, under the cover photo.
