Apple Beats 1 is a streaming music service like Spotify, and the latter has been leading the market for years. Honestly speaking, Beats 1 entered this market a little late, but it has a large iTunes Store as backup, so it may earn the support from the die-hard fans of Apple. Apple won the music downloading market with iTunes Store and the $0.99 downloading service. But as time goes on, now people would like to listen to music from the cloud, or listen to all the songs with similar style, rather than downloading certain songs to their devices or computers for an enjoyment. Apple makes a right decision on the change in their music service, and maybe they can run into a success.

The Apple Beats 1 is now available on iOS 9 Beta version, and it stays in the Radio section in the Music app on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. As mentioned, three famous DJs, Zane Lowe, Ebro Darden, and Julie Adenuga, will take important roles in the Beats 1 stations. They will represent different cities, including Los Angles, New York City and London, and bring their music and culture to the rest of the world.

Of course, people are able to manage their own stations when they are listening to music in Apple Beats 1 service. When they are going to build a station, they only need to select the song, album or artist, and the station will build itself. If the users like a song, and “Heart” it, the streaming music service will play more songs like it, which is convenient for people to discover more songs they like.
Want to enjoy a song offline? No problem. If you have subscribed to Apple Music service, you are allowed to free download the songs for offline enjoyment. The members of Beats 1 are allowed to download up to 100,000 songs according to BuzzFeed Tech. This is a very promising offer to win more subscribers.

Apple Music, including the latest streaming music service and the traditional music purchasing service, will work in a way that both subscribers and music companies will like, that’s why Apple is still negotiating with several big music companies. If it works out well, Apple will provide more than 300,000 songs for the users. So let’s just wait for the debut of Apple Beats 1 and the new Apple music service on the end of this June.
