Dr Dre has teamed up with Trent Reznor to bring a new music streaming service to market in the new year. Beats Music will rival the likes of Spotify and Deezer, but being created and run by established artists (particularly Trent Reznor who has previously been very outspoken about the music industry), will the service escape the criticism that Spotify receive over payment to artists for streams? Could be interesting to see how this pans out...
In other music streaming news, Spotify are apparently readying a new, free mobile service. More details are due to be announced on Wednesday so keep your eyes and ears open!
