iRadio as part of iTunes (video, concept)
On the eve of the developer conference WWDC 2013which opens its doors tomorrow and which will traditionally take place in San Francisco's Moscone West, the designers of the German portal AppleMe have unveiled a concept for apple's own streaming radio - iRadio.
The author of the concept suggests that iRadio It will become a component of a multimedia application iTunes for Mac OS X and the mobile operating system iOS 7. To do this, a will be added to the main menu of iTunes to switch between 4 modes iRadio - The first, On Air, will be a counterpart to conventional streaming radio, the Charts mode will contain the most popular songs, and the Discover Music and View My modes will be services to find, save and listen to music offline.
It should be noted that apple reps they have already managed to resolve part of the issue related to the copyright of audio content: its legal use will be based on agreements with the main record companies and rights holders in the United States. According to the author of the concept, apple plans to cover the costs by selling subscriptions to iRadio s at a price of $ 149. However, most experts are inclined to believe that Cupertino executives will use the industry standard monetization method - audio advertising - and that the service itself will be completely free.
