Apple announced that its Music service is now available on the Mac desktop and laptops as well, as an additional add-on installation through the Mac App Store. The software has been available as an app for iPhone and iPad devices through an update to iOS 8.4 for a few days already.
Apple Music is Apple’s foray into the increasingly competitive streaming music space, where Spotify and Pandora are currently the forerunners. But the space is heating up with the likes of Amazon and Google (through Google Play) having made their entries in this field.
Apple Music starts with a free three-month trial, and will then cost $9.99 a month in the United States for unlimited streaming. It also includes the Beats One radio station, which has two popular DJs in the East and West coast playing music twenty four hours a day.
