Apple is close to launching its music cloud service.

Apple has been working on a cloud-based music service for quite some time, and it appears that cloud-based iTunes will be launched earlier than Google Music. In any case, Apple managed to sign a contract with major record companies, including Warner Music. Google has obvious problems with the latter, so the launch of the music service from the “corporation of good” is delayed. On Friday, Apple completed negotiations with two more labels, so now the launch of the service in the near future is a matter of technology.



The Apple service will allow music lovers to store their favorite songs on the corporation’s servers, and if you have access to the Internet, the user of the “cloud” iTunes can listen to music from anywhere in the world. Generally speaking, the main problem in launching such services is agreements with labels that will not miss their own. Unfortunately, the detailed terms of the contract with Apple record companies are unknown.

Now most of the major IT companies have rushed to create music services based on the "clouds". And I must say that this concept is very user friendly. Domestic Yandex quite a long time ago launched its own music service, in beta mode, which, despite the large number of flaws and flaws, is quite interesting to itself. In any case, I myself often listen to music using this service.



Interestingly, with what labels does Yandex have an agreement, and what are the conditions of these agreements? The service is completely free (at least for now), and there is no advertising there.
