Reuters: Apple finally readying subscription music service

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Music, Rumors,

We’ve been waiting for Apple to launch some sort of iTunes subscription music service for years now. Seeing other companies like Rhapsody, Napster, and Microsoft’s Zune offer it while leaving Apple out has been pretty frustrating. However, today Reuters is reporting (alongside CNET and the New York Post) that Apple is in talks with all the major record execs to pitch a new subscription music service. Basically, for $10-15 per month, you’d get unlimited access to pretty much the entire iTunes music library. It’s definitely a move to ward off Spotify, since they are trying hard to get into the US, as well as the impending launch of Windows Phone 7 which will include a hyped up and renewed push of the Zune Pass. We’d love to see this one happen.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Hot Deals, Music,

Daily deal site Tippr has got a deal today that should have music lovers taking notice. They’re offering six months of Rhapsody Premiere for $39, which is a 35% discount. Rhapsody normally costs $10 per month, so this is a nice deal. The subscription allows you access to over 10 million songs that you can listen to whenever you’d like using the Rhapsody website, client, and apps for the iPhone, iPod touch, and Android. It’s pretty much the ability to listen to any song at any time, regardless of where you are. Not bad.
