We know Apple is vehemently against being copied, but the iPhone maker might be taking a page out of Pandora‘s playbook. It may be, according to a report on the Wall Street Journal, creating a similar service.
The music service from Apple would supposedly work with all Apple’s existing products. It would operate similarly to Pandora in that users could select a musician they like and a station would play songs by similar artists.
The WSJ article says Apple is attempting to negotiate its own licensing deals with record companies as opposed to the government-set rates paid by Pandora. The story also suggests this new service might be unveiled at Apple’s big event next Wednesday, Sept. 12.
Apple’s iTunes is a top destination for song downloads, but streaming audio sites like Pandora and Spotify offer up some competition.
Would you use a music service similar to Pandora, but from Apple? Sound off in the comments.
