What do we find
Apple has based its services on three pillars: a music service revolutionary, a worldwide radio broadcast 24/24 and a connection service between artists and their fans. Apple Music will offer nearly all of the iTunes catalog unlimited listening (The Beatles are not the game). Totaling a whopping of at least 30 million songs and videos, which will be able to add your own songs loaded. All stored in the cloud so they can be accessible to all your devices. No risk of overloading the space, it’s actually links to the pieces.
The service will consist of several tabs:
• To : Apple proudly insisted that this section would offer selections of songs, albums and playlists made by its experts “human” (coming from the music press, Shazam, Mojo …) according to the tastes of each user. In total, close to 300 people who watch the news and your habits. You only have to initially tell if you like an artist, adore or not at all. You can then compose your music selections according to your stock, your tastes or suggestions.
• Radio iTunes Radio (only available in the US until then) will melt in the new service, Beats Radio 1, the station available 24h / 24 and 7/7, will be the cornerstone. It will issue from Los Angeles, New York or London with special guests, news and influential DJ in command. And this program will be the same wherever you are in the world. Add to this a host of thematic radios, independent rock to classical, through funk, r’n’b, sport or electro. We are promised no crap and the ability to skip a track as many times as you want.
• New all the news from the iTunes Store click away meet your expectations (thanks to your custom profile)
• Siri file you a boost: the wizard-vocal house will meet your every musical desires. “What tube was # 1 in 1995?”, “Find me the title of such singer” …
• Connect network Social artists and their fans. Pages will be created on which each artist will add information, photos, videos or even directly publish its last title. Fans can comment, share or liker. And the artist can answer them directly.
• Fire Inspired MySpace, Apple will offer a space to artists without record label so they can get exposure .
• My Music playlists resume that already exist in your Music app and will also add her own songs for download (in which you own the file) which do not appear in the stock of Apple Music. On Twitter, Eddie Cue, vice president of Apple in charge of the service, announced that it would be possible to host 25,000 additional songs at first, and the hope–it up to 100 000 fall with the arrival of the future iOS 9.
With the subscription, you can skip songs that do not interest you in a playlist or listen to your selected music offline by storing cached on your device (up to 100 thousand pieces).
The little extras
• Become a key player in the music industry, Apple has points in its favor and likely users of impressive reservoir. Some artists have understood and felt they had the interest to establish strong ties with the US giant. Thus, Pharrell Williams offers him exclusively his next title Freedom . Taylor Swift , so ready to negotiate contracts and despite a dispute last week, agreed that his album to be available on Apple Music when she refused that privilege to competition. Dr Dre , one of the founders of Beats, agreed that his former album The Chronic be available for the first time digitally.
• Based on the Music app, the service also allows you to add download his own songs (which you own the file) which do not appear in the stock Apple Music. On Twitter, Eddie Cue, vice president of Apple in charge of the service, announced that it would be possible to host 25,000 additional songs at first, and the hope–it up to 100 000 fall with the arrival of the future iOS 9.
• The Beats Music radio playlists will also switch to Apple Music. Sonos, the wireless speaker solution, announced compatibility with the system, but not immediately. If you have an Apple Watch, you can sync playlists on your iPhone and listen offline.
What quality of music? We
perhaps waiting for Apple to market the high quality music, unlike Spotify. But the American preferred to stay on his usual format: AAC 256 kbits / s. It is that of the iTunes Store, where Apple Music is therefore largely based. For its part, Spotify or Google Play retained the MP3 format. Platforms like Jay-Z or Tidal French Qobuz have them, opted for the high resolution, even Qobuz being the first to offer the Hi-Res 24-bit.
What price?
No ads and no Free Offer perspective. Apple has agreed allowed three month trial, during which the artists will still be paid, as obtained Taylor Swift in his showdown with Apple. It will then pay a subscription for $ 9.99 a month (or $ 14.99 for a family membership until 6 users). Prices to be about the same in euros. If the basic subscription is comparable to offers Deezer or Spotify is on offer family that Apple intends to make the difference (34.99 dollars at Spotify accounts for 6). The question is who will enjoy it and if we should be like “family share” already in place to iCloud with given access to many members, and collected on a single credit card.
