Apple just announced Apple Music, its new streaming service that officially represents the relaunch of Beats Music.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to change the way you experience music,\u201d Tim Cook said, before introducing Jimmy Iovine.<\/p>\n
Iovine said that there are too many services out there that don\u2019t quite do enough. One service does one thing, while another service does another.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThere needs to be a place where music can be treated less like digital bits,\u201d said Trent Reznor in a video introducing the service.<\/span><\/p>\n At the heart of Apple Music is a feature called Connect, which is essentially Ping for artists. This gives artists the ability to share and communicate with fans in an unprecedented way. Even unsigned artists can connect with people and share their art.<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s also a Beats One feature, which is essentially a 24-hour radio station broadcasting every day.\u00a0<\/span>Iovine said Apple Music will put emphasis on human curated music, which is pretty much what we got from Beats. All of this will take place in a single app.<\/span><\/p>\n Part of the new service is something known as For You, which personalizes playlists and albums you might like. Apple is really pushing the human curation angle, saying that other service that rely strictly on algorithms aren\u2019t as good.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to the human curation stuff, Apple is also really making a case for Beats One, the 24\/7 global radio station. I mean, that sounds cool? I would prefer to pick my own music, but as part of its rebranded iTunes radio, Beats One is a different take on the radio station, putting famous DJ voices behind the music you\u2019re hearing.<\/span><\/p>\n Riffing on Beats Music,\u00a0when you sign up for Apple Music, you\u2019ll have to tell it what genres and artists you prefer. If you like Rock and Bruce Springsteen, you\u2019ll get handpicked recommendations based on your tastes.<\/p>\n In addition to all of this music, Apple Music will also let you watch music videos right from within the app. Cool, maybe?\u00a0Based on these features, Apple Music isn\u2019t all that different from other services. I mean, it looks like a solid and competent service, but I\u2019m not all that convinced to switch away from Spotify.<\/p>\n Apple Music will be available on June 30 for $9.99 per month, or $14.99 for a family plan. Oh, and it\u2019ll be available for\u00a0Android and Windows later this fall. What\u2019s crazy is that Apple will give you three months for free. If you decide not to subscribe, you\u2019ll still be able to listen to Beats One and use the Connect feature to follow your favorite artists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [metaslider id=2055] Apple just announced Apple Music, its new streaming service that officially represents the relaunch of Beats Music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[20,27],"tags":[66],"class_list":["post-2066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mobile","category-streaming-media","tag-wwdc-2015","et-doesnt-have-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2066"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2066\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmtech.blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
