It's like Pandora Radio, IHeartRadio and Itunes Radio but ad-free for Galaxy devices.

Samsung Milk Music Already Hacked to Run on Other Smartphones

Earlier today Samsung announced its new Milk Music player, and we’re really digging all that it offers, especially for a free service. One limitation, however, is that the official version is really only available for select Samsung Galaxy devices, which means owners of other smartphone brands were left out in the cold. Or does it?

The Android modding community quickly jumped on the Milk Music release and has already found a way to get it running on different devices. AndroidPolice said that all you need is root support and a file manager. Then, you just have to make a few tweaks to your build.prop file to trick it into thinking that you’re running on a Galaxy device, like the Galaxy Note 3, for example – that’s the only file Samsung checks when it’s trying to verify a device, AndroidPolice said. Next, just install the APK file and open the app. Boom – you now have access to free streaming music from Samsung.

I played around w/ it earlier today; it's alright.

Apple' the one catching up they said

Anyway, iTunes Radio and this are both crap. Guvera > The rest.

Is this an American thing only??

Edit: Yes, as per usual with anything that streams UGH

Just uninstall it.

Here's the cost per stream for Internet radio as mandated by Congress:

Pureplay Webcasters Per Performance Royalty Rates

2011 – $.00102 per performance
2012 – $.00110 per performance
2013 – $.00120 per performance
2014 – $.00130 per performance
2015 – $.00140 per performance

Here's the cost Samsung per user if the average user stream about 2 hours a day:

1000 streams a month (about 33 songs a day or about 2 hours of streaming a day ) = 1000 streams x $0.00130 = $1.3 a month

$1.3 x 12 months = $15.6 a year


What's in it for users who have a Galaxy device? it's AD-FREE.

Pandora would be great if it is AD-FREE no?

Probably. It's not worth worrying about, really. Same with iTunes Radio.
Guvera lets you stream + download songs for free, with only a 14 second ad every so often.

!!! Sucks! Xbox Music works though. xbox.com/music

That's because the USA has a statutory Internet Radio rate by Congress. Anyone can set up an Internet Radio station in the USA without negotiating with the music labels.

If Samsung or Apple want to have Internet Radio in UK, Germany,Japan etc...they will need to sign a license agreement with both the music labels and music publishers.

It took Spotify many years before it can expand to the USA. And to date, Spotify haven't launch in Japan yet or Canda for that matter.

Not available here smfh.

Apple made Spotify?

ugh.. I wish Canada could do the same

Before I even try it...the name...

Changing build.prop is a pain in the ass
I don't think it's worth it

No. But they made the first streaming service as part of an OS. Not a third-party app.
First the fingerprint sensor, then 64 bit and now integrated first party radio. So behind.

But iTunes Radio and this are nowhere near as good as third-party anyway. Offline tracks >>

yeah, not too keen on the name

Samsung Radio is a much better name than Milk Music.

Apple Inc. would have a field day. They'd just add the court date to their diaries

It got a lot of installs so far:
