Having been rumored for quite a while, Beats is ready to step into music streaming business w/ Beats Music. We now know a lot more about the service and when can we expect it. Beats Music launches on January 21st for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and the web w/ AT&T as the exclusive carrier to partner with.
Their streaming service looks similar to the many others out on the market but is armed w/ a few differentiators.
Rather than being ‘just another’ music streaming service, Beats Music will use algorithms & handpicked songs for suggested tunes + playlists based on your mood while streaming. Along w/ streaming music, you get access to unlimited downloads for offline playback for over 20 million songs to choose from.
As I mentioned earlier, AT&T is the exclusive partner and will offer it to their subscribers for $9.99 monthly for individual users w/ a 30-day free trial up to 3 devices. Family plans will cost $14.99 monthly w/ a 90-day free trial up to 10 devices. Non-AT&T subscribers will get access to a 7-day free trial only. The service launches on January 21st for the platforms listed above and on the 24th at AT&T retailer and online.
For the true audiophiles, you’ll be happy to know that Sonos will support Beats Music from day one.
