Another of the most anticipated moments by users who followed yesterday's Keynote live, was undoubtedly the "One more thing ..." that Tim Cook himself dedicated to us with the new Apple Music. This mythical phrase always came accompanied by new hardware (a new product) but this time Apple showed us the rumored streaming music service that will launch on June 30.
The positive part of this new service is that we have a strong competition for the music streaming system most people use, Spotify. Apple also wanted to highlight three aspects of this new service: a world radio that works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with some social network to be able to communicate more easily between artists and fans and a system of listen and watch revolutionary video clips.
Apple Music improves Spotify in many ways And this for users is something interesting because whenever there is rivalry, there will be better offers besides having the extensive iTunes catalog within Apple Music, it is an asset in favor of Apple.
On the other hand, the problem can be caused directly by this new Apple Music since it may be able to dismantle any possibility of replication of its rivals, I mean, today Spotify does not generate any benefit for the company today Although it may seem a lie, if they have to tighten their belts to avoid losing customers, it can be a hard blow for them.
Beats 1 Radio
This is another service that we can highlight from Apple Music. Beats will be in charge of broadcast as a radio 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from Los Angeles, London and New York. Beats 1 brings you the latest in music, talk, and culture. They will broadcast live to the whole world from the studios located in the cities mentioned above.
For You It was also shown and it is a new method to explore between thousands and thousands of songs without having to search much in the library, filling in a short questionnaire at first will suggest topics according to our tastes.
Connect
In the long explanatory process of Apple Music, a 'nervous' Drake took the stage to talk about the side closest to the social network of this service. Within the application itself we will have a section called 'Connect' and from which we will have more direct contact with our favorite artists. From this section and with the user's Apple ID we will be able to see all the content that the artists add, either photos, texts, videos or even some exclusive song.
Following the steps and news of your favorite artist will be easier with this option.
Price and Availability
Apple throws out the 30-day trial and adds 90 days so that Apple users have the possibility to experiment with this new streaming music service. Once this period of time has passed, the user can choose whether to pay the cost of the service or stop doing it.
- The monthly subscription has a final price of 9,99€ for a user and for all your devices
- The monthly subscription of 14,99€ add up to 6 users in Family Sharing mode
The availability of Apple Music is expected for next June 30 as we warned at the beginning of this post and will also be extended to users of Windows and Android from October this yearTherefore, Apple does not close the doors to anyone with this new service and intends to take over the majority of users who consume streaming music.
