It is likely that there was some difference between the two services when choosing the content, so, if so, Apple Music would gain precision in this regard, which is good news for subscribers of the newest music streaming service in those of Cupertino.Īlthough on the one hand it seems understandable to me that a service that was born before the new project would be discontinued, I believe that Apple should allow non-subscriber users more than Beats stations. When I first heard such a radio on Apple Music, I noticed that the matches between music styles weren't as good as iTunes Radio, which surprised me because the content should be selected by the same people. The reason for their merger with Apple Music could be that they intend to make Beats 1 Apple's primary radio station.Īs I mentioned earlier, iTunes Radio users, just like Apple Music, could create radio stations based on an artist, style or song.
NEW ITUNES RADIO STATIONS FREE
iTunes Radio arrived in the United States in 2013, and since then the service has been free to users in the countries where it has been available. In fact, iTunes Radio will not cease to exist exactly, but will cease to have a free mode with ads to become a function of Apple Music, being only available by subscription. The bad news is that this service will no longer be free from January 29. This Apple radio, which I have come to test with a US account, broadcast high-quality stations based on an artist, song or style with great precision sticking to our request. Bad, very bad news for all those users who could enjoy iTunes Radio.
