When Apple acquired Beats Audio many people speculated they did so mainly because of their music streaming service, not for their consumer electronics division. Well whether or not that was entirely true, Apple has now announced a new music streaming service that looks to be the fruits of that deal. Named Apple Music, the service is challenging other top streaming services such as Spotify and Pandora. Unlike free services like Pandora, which offers a premium paid service in addition to the free version, Apple Music will only offer paid service at a rate of about $10 a month or $15 for a six user family plan, however they do have a free 3 month trial period for users to try out the service before plunking down any money. The streaming service will be available on many devices, including iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, as well as Mac Windows computers and even Android smart phones.
The content will include millions of songs, which you can listen to directly by choosing a song or by listening to many expertly curated playlists available. Also planned are live streaming radio stations, the first of which will be called Beats 1 and will broadcast live to over 100 countries so anywhere on the globe you can listen in just like you would a local radio station on an old fashion radio. Hosts will include Zane Lowe, Ebro Darden, and Julie Adenuga among guest hosts and interviews with the top performers in music. Another Apple Music feature, Connect, is a feature in Apple Music that will allow artists to connect directly with the fans, allowing them to share lyrics, backstage photos, and videos, as well as let them communicate and respond to users comments.
