Within a few weeks of operating Apple's new music streaming service, Apple Music, it began to be rumored that the Cupertino company could be pulling strings so that free ad-supported and random-play services that other companies like Spotify have could be withdrawn.
Faced with these accusations, the European Commission has carried out an investigation in this regard, concluding that there is no indication that this is the case. At the moment Apple has only focused on launching its music streaming service and make the conditions in which it is made available to users are the most accurate.
The truth is that at the time of launching this new music streaming service, many users wondered if Apple did not launch a free version as Spotify has in which you can listen to music randomly and with advertising. It seems that those of the bitten apple want the user experience to be as enriching as possible and the result of this is that in order to listen to random music, they have made a radio station called Beats 11 available to the more than 1 million subscribers to the Apple Music trial period.
A few days ago we informed you that they could also be preparing the launch of up to 5 new stations that what they would come to do is give the possibility of listening to music in the style freemium from Spotify but on Apple Music. This would be the way that Apple would have to compete with that aspect of other companies.
So, after having interviewed the heads of numerous record companies, the European Commission has come to the conclusion that indeed Apple is playing fair and You are not intimidating any record company into putting pressure on the services of other music streaming companies.
