Just after **Facebook**'s video chat [announcement](https://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2011/07/facebook-adds-skype-video-group-chat-.html), programmer [Jeff Rose](http://lifeisagraph.com/2011/07/04/facebook-vibes.html?ref=hypebot.com) was poking around [the code](http://www.digitaltrends.com/social-media/code-reveals-facebook-working-on-a-music-service-codenamed-vibes/?ref=hypebot.com) behind the new **Skype** integration when he discovered a piece of code (*click on image at left to enlarge*) that all but confirms that the social network is working on a new music application called **Vibes**. Rose says it “connects with a music download dialog in the page,” and reasons that it must be part of a new music service.   **My best guest:**

Vibes is likely related to the previously [leaked **Spotify** integration](https://www.hypebot.com/facebook-spotify-partner-on-new-streaming-music-service/) with **Facebook**, which will I'll bet will be announced around the same time that Spotify actually launches in the U.S. Other music services are rumored to be working with Facebook so perhaps **Vibes** is an aggregation of those as well. It would make sense: Facebook finally gets into music without having to deal directly with the music industry.
