So, you can now say: “Hey Siri, play me top charted songs from the playlist of Calvin Harris” and there you go.

Associated Costs

Well, Apple Music is free for you to listen and explore the depth of the app after you sign in yourself with your apple Id till September 30, 2015. Thereafter, It will cost Rs. 120 per month (individually) or Rs 190 (for the entire family) per month . That’s pretty cool as the cost of subscription is lower that what Apple would charge in other countries. For instance in US, the subscription per month after the trail period is $ 9.99 for an individual and $ 14.99 for family per month.

However, unless you disable the automatic renewal option from the app, Apple will charge you as soon as your trial ends. In order to disable auto renewal, Go to -> Your Profile on the top left hand of the For You tab -> View Apple I’d -> Subscriptions -> Manage -> Your Subscription -> Disable auto renewal. We must all thank Apple for putting this option.

Apple Music and the Competition

Days before Apple Music launch on June 30, Google Play Music launched its free music streaming service. However, It is not free from advertisements and more unfortunate it’s not yet available in India. With the launch of Apple Music, other competitors such as Spotify and Rdio would definitely lose subscribers because in the free trial period of three months the subscribers would be able to decide whose service they would like to opt for and which is more user friendly, rich in content and keeps them entertained.

Compatibility

Music is with Apple iOS 8.4 or later iTunes 12.2 or later (OS X Mavericks or later, Windows 7 or later) and Apple compatible Rights Watch. It is also Android devices and Apple TV launch in late 2015.
