Don't they already have iTunes radio and beats music

Right now it’s easy to stream any song you want, whenever you want, legally, without paying a penny.

The big music labels want that to change. Apple says it wants to help them.

Apple executives have been telling the music industry it can help them roll back the tide of free digital music by relaunching its own subscription streaming service this year. Unlike Spotify and YouTube, Apple’s service won’t offer a free “tier” of music interspersed with ads — after an initial trial period, you’ll need to pay to play.

Apple executives, led by media head Eddy Cue and Beats Music founder Jimmy Iovine, have been arguing that the music business “needs to get behind a paywall,” say people who have talked to them. Apple bought Beats last year, partly to help it gain a foothold on streaming music just as iTunes sales of digital downloads had started to drop.

they lost out on net neutrality so i think there trying another way to police the internet.

 
Being able to stream your itune catalog on a android phone is gonna be worth it .......... Also with Ivoine teamed up with Apple too, I'm guessing we can look forward to the whole Interscope catalog being available for streaming too .......
