So they are resurrecting Ping in the end? It seems they are focusing more on the "social network" side of the service, than the actual streaming. Mkay.
Read people. It's not a social network like Facebook. It's where the artists, not listeners, can share their content and the content of others.
At least that's the way I read it. It comes off as more of an advertisement system than a social network but whatever. If people want to share music and talk to people they can use Facebook and Twitter.
Apple's new music service is said to let artists have landing pages within the music service to share "track samples, photos, videos, and concert updates."
First Tidal wants to try this and now Apple as well? Artists already have social media profiles. They're not gonna move that activity to what is basically a store. I don't get it.
