Apple Music Shuting Down Beats Music!!!
Looks like times are changing on the daily because we just got word that Apple Music Shuting Down Beats Music at The End Of The Month!
Out with the old and in with the new seems to be the motto these days since technology is changing so rapidly these days. It’s almost scary if you really think about it.
Talk about a serious game changer becuase on November 30, there will be no more Beats Music, CelebNMusic247.com has learned.
We have this report via HNHH:
Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine launched the Beats Music streaming service in January 2014, and about four months later, Apple purchased the entire Beats company for $3.2 billion, the largest purchase in the tech giant’s history. It was assumed that Apple’s acquisition of Beats signaled that the company intended to align itself with the Beats streaming service, though Apple Music was launched in June of this year, and Beats Music remained its own platform, though still under the Apple umbrella.
Apple has just announced that it will officially shut down Beats Music in two weeks, on November 30. “All the pros that curated music for you are still crafting more amazing experiences. Plus, on Apple Music, you’ll get even better recommendations based on music you already listen to and love, 24/7 global radio with Beats 1, exciting material from your favorite artist, and more,” reads a message on the Beats Music homepage.
Are there any Beats Music users still out there who will have to undergo the switch? In the months after Apple’s acquisition of Beats, Beats Music was all but forgotten, especially as Beats 1 Radio became an integral part of Apple Music. As of last month, Spotify is still the most popular music streaming service, with 20 million paying users to that of Apple Music’s 6.5 million, though Spotify has been around since 2008.
In additional news, a new player has entered the streaming game today. Yes, it’s YouTube Music, which, according to early accounts, could be another major game changer.
