Apple Expected to Offer Free Samples to Promote Subscriptions

While Apple is still busy negotiating deals for its upcoming streaming music service, the company reportedly has plans to promote the service with some free content. Apple will not offer free, unlimited on-demand streaming, similar to Spotify and YouTube, but Re/code says we should expect to see “a free trial period, which may range from one to three months… a feature that will let music owners upload a sampling of songs that users could listen to without subscribing to the service… a new version of Apple’s iTunes Radio, featuring stations programmed by human beings instead of computers, which could be localized for different countries.”
