iTunes Radio first launched in 2013 in the United States and Australia. It has some similarities with Pandora. It is in the Music app in your iPhones. It let you create custom stations based on your specific songs or genres. I am a user of this internet radio, and enjoy using it. There are not many ads like in the regular radio stations, and you do not need to listen someone talking, just the music station you like. Even in the office, we listen to some of the radio station, but still not sure that we should be a subscriber of Apple Music. Our hearts still go with YouTube Red, which you can listen to music, watching tv-show, funny videos, news updates, educational videos and the future we are sure, Google’s YouTube Red will come up with great Tv-Shows and Movies for us. And it is the same price as Apple Music. As an Apple user, still not convinced about Apple Music.
