New details about Apple's audio streaming service appeared last night, the American company slowly, slowly, succeeding in concluding all the necessary licensing agreements to bring to the market its new system that will allow you to listen to music online. According to Apple sources, the American company hired a number of people from BBC Radio to manually create the song lists to be listened to by future users through iTunes Radio, so the selection will not be made automatically by an algorithm.
Change comes as part of expanding the availability of iTunes Radio in a multitude of new countries around the globe, those from Apple trying to offer the service to a wider spectrum of customers in order to convince them to pay for the streaming service. Regarding the latter, we learn today that Apple intends to offer an option that will allow you to test it for free before buying a subscription, the function being similar to that offered by Beats Music.
Although for now not known how long was this free trial period, some say it could be extended for a period of three months, a very long time for a service of this kind. The interesting part of the new streaming service is that the major record companies will be able to choose different types of songs that they will be able to offer for free in order to convince users to buy a subscription, probably excluding the latest hits.
A free trial period, which may range from one to three months, depending on the outcome of Apple's negotiations with music labels. A feature that will let music owners upload a sampling of songs that users could listen to without subscribing to the service. A new version of Apple's iTunes Radio, featuring stations programmed by human beings instead of computers, which could be localized for different countries.
Exactly as we knew, the new multimedia streaming service would be presented by Apple in the framework WWDC 2015 on June 8th, it will be available in beta format until the end of the month, when it will be released together with iOS 8.4.
