Music symbol on friends list 

 This may not be a privacy, or a security issue. However the user may not be aware of it and may not want others to know he or she is listening to music. I created this page so to inform Facebook users about this and let each user decide for themselves if they are OK with it. At the moment, I do not know how to disable this feature. If you do not want this feature, you will need to research on how to disable it. If I find out how, I will update this page.

Again, I stress that this may not be an issue. I just want to let everyone know about it so they are aware of it and make their own decisions on it.

If you are listening to music from a website via Facebook, a music symbol will show up on your name on your friend's friends list.

   

Your friends name will look like this

   

Others will know what you are listening to and what site you are listening to it with.

I will be saying this in caps so you will know I am stressing this point

I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS A SECURITY OR A PRIVACY ISSUE. IT MAY NOT BE AN ISSUE AT ALL. I AM JUST POSTING SO YOU CAN DECIDE IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
