Apple Inc's new music streaming service has been endorsed by the Worldwide Independent Network, an association for independent musicians, two days after the company reversed its decision of not paying musicians during a three-month trial. The endorsement follows a Billboard magazine report that independent music rights holders Beggars Group and Merlin Network signed royalty deals with Apple. Apple's decision of not paying musicians had became a lightning rod for criticism in the music community.
Apple Music won't be available for another week but music listeners now have a new free streaming service to consider: Google's Play Music. The company added a free tier to its service on the web and on its iOS and Android apps, Google announced Tuesday. Like other streaming services that offer a free version, Google' new tier for Play Music is ad-supported on the web and its mobile apps. Rather than an on-demand model like Spotify, Google's new free offering will focus on a selection of curated stations, based around genres, moods, activities or specific albums and songs.
After plenty of speculation, Apple finally launched their new music streaming service during the Apple Worldwide Developers meeting in California today. The service has been long rumored since Apple's purchase of Beats By Dre a little over a year ago, which brought both Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine over to the company. Along with Dre and Iovine, Apple has slotted former BBC Radio One personality Zane Lowe for a role in the streaming service, though his exact job hasn't been defined.
Apple will offer around 25 channels of programming for $30-40 a month come fall, according to the Wall Street Journal. Fred Katayama reports.
