Twitter Opens #Music To All

image from blog.laptopmag.com(UPDATED) After several days of celebrity-only access, this morning Twitter opened its new web and iPhone app based music service to the general public. Twitter #music uses Tweets and engagement to detect the most popular tracks and emerging artists. Song plays on Twitter #music pull from three sources: iTunes for 30 second previews and if you're a premium subscriber, full tracks from Spotify or Rdio.

The look and feel of the app borrow's heavily from We Are Hunted, the music discovery site which Twitter bought last month. Rumored tie-ins with VEVO and others are not part of the launch, but Twitter says it will "continue to explore and add other music
service providers."

  1. No way… All Justin Bieber accounts are fake, everyone knows that… Will Twitter fool the brands and steal their money?

  2. Scooter Braun opened 37 Million Fake Twitter accounts for Untalented drug user Justin Bieber!
    If you believe in GOOD MUSIC, if you want a change….. Don’t download or use twitter Music Apps, until Justin is erased!

  3. Yes Twitter is full of accounts made of Justin’s photos, all the same, none are real, who do you think you are fooling!

  4. Yeahhhh I think Twitter should solve this trust problem…. If I were a brand I wouldn’t invest in twitter. I do agree, Justin Bieber is all fake.
