Introducing Apple Music — All The Ways You Love Music. All in One Place.

June 8, 2015

Apple today unveiled Apple Music, a single, intuitive app that combines the best ways to enjoy music — all in one place. Apple Music is a streaming music service, a worldwide live radio station broadcasting 24 hours a day, and a new way for music fans to connect with their favorite artists. Apple Music combines the largest and most diverse collection of music with the expertise of world-class experts who have programmed playlists for your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, Apple TV, and Android phones. Apple Music will be available starting June 30 in over 100 countries. “We love music, and the new Apple Music service puts an incredible experience at every fan’s fingertips,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. “All the ways people love enjoying music come together in one app — a revolutionary streaming service, live worldwide radio, and an exciting way for fans to connect with artists.”

I love the concept and handled effectively this could be brilliant for both Apple and the artist, creating a community and broadcast platform from which I can communicate with my marketplace as a muscian is a powerful and compelling offering.

I love the offering which extends to new artists that brings diversity to the marketplace in terms of music choice and revenue opportunities for Apple and it’s partners.

The subscription model which extends to family members is very cool, as is the Beats 1 radio, I can’t wait to hear it.

Apple’s move into Music end to end, combining a digital platform for artists, a delivery mechanism (Beats 1) and subscription model extends the scope for revenue and engagement with music fans and critically creates opportunities not only for Apple but the marketplace as new services come online.  What I’m waiting for is the agregator code/service model which lets have a unified but varied content distribution mechanism for these new platforms, how do I broadcast content to Apple and Spotify?  How can I have the content the same but not.
