the music app in iOS 7 is beyond a doubt the best music player we have ever done the first thing you'll notice is we provide you with beautiful artist images right in your library you just tap an artist and you see the Sun but it's not just the songs on your device you see all of your purchase music from iCloud right in your library and if you want to hear one of the songs you just tap and you get our beautiful now playing screen but it's not just your purchase music in the video apps you get all of your movies and TV shows right for my cloud right in your library it's really really great you turn the device sideways you see your albums you can just swipe to see more and once you see when you like you tap and zooms right in now the music app is the best way to listen to your music but today we're introducing an amazing way to discover new music and we call it iTunes radio and here's what it looks like it's built right into the music app but rather than tell you about it I'd love to show it to you and will launch the music app and the first thing you'll notice is we've got a set of featured stations that our programming team have created so you can see the songs that are trending on Twitter right now or even the songs that you guys are all going to hear this week at WWDC but I feel like summer songs so you just tap and once you have a station you love you can just tap the eye and you could share it with a friend or even create a new station based on this artist or song i can easily skip to the see what's the next song I'll go back to stations but it's not just the featured stations that we provide you can create your own stations here are some that i've previously created what i feel like doing something new now our music team is providing you with hundreds of stations based on alternative country classic rock but i feel like doing something a little more specific how about some Led Zeppelin so it starts off with a great Led Zeppelin song let's go ahead and see what else is on this station and a great thing is I can always modify the station I can just tap the star and I can say play more songs like this we're never play their song or add it to my wish list now I like this so let's play some more songs like this now another great feature of iTunes radio is it keeps track of all the songs that you're listening to across all the stations all your devices and you can get to them by just tapping history you can see them all here you can preview and buy right from there and that's iTunes radio so iTunes radio is built into iOS 7 it works on your iPhone your ipod touch and your iPad it's also built into itunes on your mac and pc and even in your living room built into apple TV itunes radio is free with ads and if you're an iTunes Match subscriber it's completely ad-free we're starting in the US and we'll be adding other countries over time and that's the new music app on iOS 7 it is the best music player we have ever done thank you
