Apple Music For Android Hits Google Play

Android users can now begin their three-month trial of Apple Music, though Apple says the beta does come with some restrictions. Music videos are not yet available, and the sign-up process hasn't been optimized for Android purchasing or upgrading to a family membership will require a Mac or iOS device.

Just like those on iOS, tvOS, and Mac Apple Music users on Android can access playlists, Beats 1 radio, Connect, and iTunes purchases.

Apple appears to have adapted the application's user interface slightly to conform to Android interaction paradigms, but doesn't seem to have adopted Google's material design. 

Apple Music requires Android 4.3 or above. Users can download Apple Music beta for free from the Google Play source link below.

Twitter To Launch New Music App In the Coming Week

Your social network isn’t worth any salt these days unless you can share what music you are listening to with all your friends. Rumor has it that Twitter is looking to right this wrong by releasing a new music application that will work side-by-side with your timeline. There have been plenty of rumors surrounding this app, but don’t worry, Ryan Seacrest can verify its existence for us. 

All Things D is reporting that we should be seeing this new application as soon as this weekend. According to their sources, the service “suggests artists and tracks to users based on a number of personalized signals.” Users will even be able to listen to music inside the app through third party services and watch videos from Vevo.

Coachella, the huge music festival in California, kicks is this weekend, so it would make sense for them to be on the edge of the music news with their new app. Earlier this week, Twitter announced that they have acquired the music recommendation service We Are Hunted which seems to add to this weekend’s timing.

We don’t know much about this new application, but Ryan Seacrest sure does. Seacrest’s twitter says that the app is all about finding trending artists and being able to play their music from within the app. Expect to find music videos and other features when it launches sometime soon.

Update:  Twitter Music is live at music.twitter.com, but it’s showing as “invitation only.”

MOG Quietly Makes Its Mobile Debut

 

It would appear that MOG's not the sort of company that lets some sales chatter stop it from shipping products. In addition to the native Windows app the company introduced Friday, it has now released an official iPad app. MOG for iPad contains an identical feature list as the iPhone and iPod Touch version, making us wonder why the company didn't opt for a universal app that would run on all iOS devices, but it's hard to complain when the app itself is free. It puts MOG on even iOS app footing with Rdio, which debuted its iPad app last August, while making Spotify's absence all the more conspicuous: despite its ambitions, Spotify has yet to release an app for Apple's best-selling tablet. MOG users will need a subscription to take advantage of the new app, but if you're already signed up, at the MOG official website.
