How do you add music to a FB comment?

Quick Answer

There are a few different ways to add music to a Facebook comment:

• Tag a song from Spotify – Type “@[song name]” or “@[artist name – song name]” and select the song when it pops up.
• Add an MP3 file – Click the photo icon, select “Upload Photo/Video”, choose an MP3 file from your computer, and post it.
• Use a Facebook sticker – Click the sticker icon, search for a music sticker, and add it to your comment.
• Insert an embedded link – Copy and paste a link to a song/album/playlist from a music platform like YouTube, SoundCloud, etc.

The easiest options are tagging a song from Spotify or using a Facebook music sticker. Adding an MP3 file or embedded link takes a few more steps but also works.

Adding a Song from Spotify

One of the simplest ways to add music to a Facebook comment is by tagging a song from Spotify. Here’s how:

1. Start typing “@” followed by the song name or artist and song name in your comment (e.g. “@Bohemian Rhapsody” or “@Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody”)
2. A dropdown will appear with matching songs/artists. Select the one you want.
3. The song title will appear in your comment as a clickable Spotify link.

When people view your comment, they can click the song link to open and listen to it directly in Spotify (if they have the app installed).

This makes sharing and discovering music super quick and easy right within the Facebook comments. Some key tips:

• Make sure you have the latest version of the Facebook app
• The song needs to be on Spotify for the tag to work
• You can tag both individual songs or use the artist – song format
• Only use official artist names and song titles that are on Spotify

Overall, tagging Spotify songs is the fastest way to add music to Facebook comments.

Uploading an MP3 File

If you want to share a song that’s not available on Spotify, you can upload an MP3 file directly in your Facebook comment:

1. When writing a comment, click the photo/video icon (shaped like a mountain and sun)
2. Select “Upload Photo/Video” from the dropdown
3. Choose an MP3 file from your computer to upload
4. Once uploaded, the audio player will appear in your comment so people can listen

This method allows you to share pretty much any music file or audio clip, as long as it’s in an MP3 format. A few tips:

• Keep file sizes small for quick uploading. Aim for under 5MB.
• Upload tracks that are unlikely to get removed for copyright reasons.
• MP3s may not appear as embedded players on mobile, requiring taps to play.

Uploading MP3s takes a few more steps but provides the flexibility to share audio that isn’t available to tag on music platforms.

Using Facebook Music Stickers

Another way to add music is by using one of Facebook’s built-in music stickers in comments:

1. When writing a comment, click the sticker icon (smiley face)
2. Type “music” in the search bar and select a music sticker
3. Customize the sticker with text/music notes if desired
4. Post the comment with the music sticker

Facebook has stickers for genres like Hip-Hop, Pop, Electronic, Latin, Rock, and more. People will see the sticker animation and any text/notes you added.

Benefits of using Facebook’s music stickers:

• No uploading or linking required – stickers are built into Facebook
• Fun way to visually show what kind of music you like
• Can customize with text like lyrics, emotions, etc.

The only downside is you can’t actually play songs with the stickers. But they’re a quick, creative way to reference music in comments.

Embedding Links to Music Sites

You can also add music to Facebook comments by embedding links to external sites like YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, etc.

To embed a link:

1. Copy the URL/link to the song, album, or playlist you want to share
2. Paste the link in your Facebook comment
3. The website preview should generate automatically

For example, pasting a YouTube link will embed the video player right in your comment.

Some benefits of embedded links:

• Share music from almost any site – YouTube, streaming platforms, band pages, etc.
• People can play tracks and albums right from your post
• Links multiple songs or full albums

Just keep in mind that the content needs to be public to play properly. Private tracks or playlists won’t embed correctly.

Overall though, linking to external music sites gives you the most flexibility in sharing music through Facebook comments.

Comparing Facebook Comment Music Options

Method	Pros	Cons
Tagging Spotify Songs	Fast and simple Opens song directly in Spotify Tap into Spotify’s music library	Song must be on Spotify Can only share individual tracks
Uploading MP3s	Share any audio file Music plays directly in comment	Slower upload time Audio may not play on mobile

Overall, tagging Spotify tracks offers the best combo of convenience and music integration directly in comments. But all these methods have their unique advantages for sharing songs, albums, and audio clips. Choose the option that best suits the type of music content you want to share.

Conclusion

Facebook provides several ways to integrate music right into your comments for easy sharing and discovery.

The best options are tagging Spotify songs which instantly play full tracks, uploading your own MP3 files, using Facebook’s built-in music stickers for fun visual effects, or embedding links to songs/playlists on external sites.

Each method has pros and cons based on the specific music content you want to share. But they all liven up the comments section and get people listening to great tunes right on Facebook.

Next time you want to add musical flair to a comment, try tagging a Spotify track, uploading an MP3, throwing on a music sticker, or embedding a link from YouTube, SoundCloud, or another audio site.
