A pair of radio Beats 1, Apple also announced the reformulation of the remaining radio stations -. Related to iTunes Radio service, something like Pandora, a popular service in the US
Connect The third module promises to be one of the strengths of the new service proposed by the owner of the iPhone, offering fans the chance to interact with their favorite artists. A kind of social network but entirely dedicated to musicians and what do these beyond the editing discs. Through the “Connect” you can comment, do “like” and share the material published by a particular artist. This platform can be found demo versions unreleased officially, acoustic versions of past hits or a video recorded in the studio, made by the artist himself (somewhat in the manner of what you can do with the Soundcloud). Musicians can leave phrases, photographs and what else they want, as if to make use of a wall in the manner of Facebook.
Details The first working day of the Music Apple is expected to reach 100 countries, including Portugal, and will be available in all Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch (and Apple Watch). Through iTunes, you can also access the service on computers, Mac and PC. Promised for the autumn are versions for the Android operating system and Apple TV.
In the first quarter using the Apple Music is free but Apple is committed to pay royalties on such use at no cost to the consumer (ie after the dispute led last week by Taylor Swift) After that, you can opt for two types of subscription: individual, which should be around 9.99 euros, and the family, allowing access to a maximum of six people and has an estimated value of 14.99 euros (price to be confirmed).
