These outages happened all over the world, but didn’t affect all users.

Tim Bajarin, president of technology consultant Creative Strategies, doesnt think such disruptions substantially affect Apples business.

The FTC investigation has been ongoing, and the agency has sent subpoenas to a number of music services to gather evidence, according to a report from the Verge.

The market for on-demand streaming music services is increasingly crowded.

What sets it apart from the rest: Tidal offers “lossless” quality, meaning that it never loses any sound quality from the moment it’s produced in the studio to the second you plug in your headphones.

Streaming services have little recourse when it comes to dealing with the fees. MTV had planned to make its announcement in partnership with Apple and Apple’s Beats 1 music station.

Apple is once again coming under fire for business practices and deals around Apple Music, the subscription music and video streaming service it launched last month.

Streaming companies have often complained Apple does not allow them to put up app advertisement which can be purchased for less by costumers if downloaded from a site other than Apple. To combat the fee, Spotify has begun an advertising blitz to inform customers they can save $3 a month by signing up on the web and not through Apple’s app store. Spotify knew how to bypass this restriction and informed users how they could cancel the expensive subscription and switch to the company-operated rate. It also is a radio ad that was not created for Apple’s new setup.

What music streaming service have you tried so far?

Plug.dj combines avatars, club life and music streaming all in one virtual community. Apple added that the outage was an isolated case and only affected a handful of users.
