How is this any different than Youtube? I was at a party last weekend, and the host had their PS3 setup to stream a youtube stream from anyone who connected via their WiFi. Basically anyone at the party connected to their Wireless Lan was instantly authenticated to add music (it was pretty slick). Everything I tried (including all the artists like Taylor Swift who had dropped spotify) had pretty much all their music there. everything seems to be there. When I asked how much this cost, given that it was also showing videos, the answer I got was, "It's all free, man!"
Everyone talks about rdio, spotify, upcoming apple music, etc... But Youtube already seems to have unlimited free streaming of music + videos, with what appears to be universal selection.
- plorkyeran 11y agoYoutube pays royalties from their advertising revenue these days, and Google is shocking good at making money from advertising.
- ghshephard 11y agoI'll take your word for it - I don't recall a single advertisement, and I was listening as closely as I could for one. Not to say they didn't happen, but they weren't anywhere near as annoying as the spotify/pandora ones are.
- vijayr 11y agoMaybe the parent is talking about banner ads on the video and not video ads?
- ghshephard 11y agoWhich brings us right back to the beginning - today, on youtube, you can for all intents and purposes stream whatever music you want, on demand (i.e. Not Internet Radio), for free with limited to no interruptions with Youtube. Is it just the case that nobody knows this, so it's not a big deal, but everyone is going to know about Apple Music?
