Apple Music, now on Android.
If you're an OS X user who rebuffs iOS smartphones in favor of Android yet also invests wholeheartedly in the iTunes and Apple Music ecosystem, Apple has finally strung together a working solution for your smartphone of choice. Tuesday saw the launch of Apple Music for Android, fulfilling the promise Apple made during June's WWDC reveal of the subscription-based app.
Once you sign in with an existing Apple ID or create a new one, Apple Music for Android (for devices on Jelly Bean 4.3 or higher) will ask for a working credit card and offer a free, three-month trial of the service for new users—so long as you attach a valid credit card to your account. If you've used your trial up, you can choose a $9.99/month single-user plan; if you'd rather attach a family plan to your Apple ID, you'll have to sign up via either OS X or an iOS device.
From there, users will see the same range of tabs as the iOS version, including the "new" tab full of hot and chart-topping songs and the "for you" tab full of pre-made playlists tied to your listening preferences. Should you either decline the trial or choose not to pay, the app will still let users access the Beats One radio station or the "Connect" feeds of musicians' new songs, videos, and more.
