If you already have Spotify and it's "turn on" on your desktop, when you click the LISTEN button, it will automatically play.
Itunes doesn't let you stream the whole song.
Anyway, this deep integration with Facebook will help Spotify gain new users (free and paid).

Is $1,000,000,000 yearly revenue something that should worry Itunes?
