But what makes it different to the rest? Well for starters it's got some pretty hefty weight behind it in the form of Jimmy Iovine and Trent Reznor, and they're claiming to have built something more than just a 'search and play' system: So, if you're on AT&T, particularly if you have music hungry kids, then Beats Music might already strike you as a pretty compelling option.

Or at least, the official launch in the U.S. It's very troubling when it comes to real music appreciation that we gave artists in the 90's.Another contender today steps into the music streaming ring, with the official launch of the brand new Beats Music service. Worst yet, they listen to maybe 30 seconds of a song and then go to something else. They claim to be fans of an artist, yet they have never listened to an entire album. is that teens have bought into the "buy one hit track" option on internet services. Even British stations are playing more selection of music than American stations. Sometimes you find them on indie channels that are broadcast on local stations only available via TuneIn. I use internet radio to find new artists without ads. Even radio request lines are only playing top chart music. With artists not writing their own music, or colaborating with 5-6 song writers to make their album, it's become a shameful way to get to the top of the charts.

Streaming music is a big traffic driver over the LTE network, but including it in the toll-free program could incite the wrath of consumer groups that say AT&T is creating an uneven playing field, as it would encourage customers to purchase AT&T's own service instead of premium versions of Pandora or Apple Inc. AT&T believes with its low price point, huge customer base, integrated billing, and the power of the Beats brand, it can change the industry dynamics.ĪT&T also didn't indicate whether Beats Music will be part of its newly announced toll-free data program: If it is, the data consumed by those using the music service would not count against their data caps. In fact, Muve is one of the few successful examples of such a service.

The carrier hasn't outlined its plans for Muve once the acquisition closes, but it could maintain the service for its prepaid customers. In the meantime, AT&T is also set to acquire another music option, Muve Music, through its purchase of Leap Wireless. There have been rumors of a forthcoming premium AT&T streaming music service for six months now, but the carrier says it has been working with Beats for two years - since Beats acquired online streaming music service MOG - to build this exclusive subscription service.
