Apple reportedly working on Spotify competitor, iTunes Android app

Apple is tipped to be working with record label executives to build an on-demand streaming music service that can take on the likes of Spotify and thinking of creating an iTunes Store app for Android. A report from Billboard cited three unnamed sources that claim the “exploratory talks” are in its very early stages.

Apple does seem to need to rethink its strategy with iTunes. Nielsen reports downloading on the platform has dropped 13 percent from the week of March 9 and digital track sales are down 11 percent from 2013.

Twitter kills #Music app

Twitter has officially pulled the plug on its #Music app and has pulled out the app from the App Store yesterday. The app will stop working on April 18. #Music was Twitter’s attempt to build conversations around music and help users discover new music on the social network. Unfortunately, it wasn’t able to lure listeners away from other music apps out on the market. The company has said it is looking to develop “new ways” to incorporate music into Twitter.

Later this afternoon, we will be removing Twitter #music from the App Store. If you have the app, it will continue to work until April 18.
