As expected, this year's WWDC may make many people happy, but also doomed to make many start-up companies sleepless. iTunes Radio is such a product creates insomnia. In WWDC, iTunes Radio was released on schedule and it becomes Apple's new music service.
iTunes Radio is a music stream service which can learn your taste, it can recommend your music based on what you heard and you're listening to. From the conference we can see this new service can access the entire iTunes catalog, i.e, there will be 26 million tracks included. iTunes Radio is described as a new place to discover music. In addition to listen to music through the recommended stations by the app, users can also create their own stations and share songs to others.
In this case, the biggest advantage of Apple is it can record tracks listened by users on all Apple devices. Apple will deliver the streamed music with some ads to get enough money to support this free service, but those who have already purchased on iTunes service will not receive advertisements. In addition, it will support the purchase of musics, users will be redirected to the app store after pressing "Buy" button.
The service will be unveiled in the US first, but Apple also determines to push this service to more countries.
