what's up guys Lew here and today I want to give you a quick look at the brand new beats music service for both iOS and Android before we start I quickly want to mention that the service is currently on a 7 day free trial there is no credit card or payment necessary there's a link in the description so you can check it out and I recommend you do so what the hell is beats music from the maker of Beats Audio a new music service yes sir dr. Dre and his partners are ready to compete with the likes of Spotify and Rdio offering up a next-gen listening service of their own beats music claims to have 20 million tracks in its library already putting it in the same league as Spotify when it comes to pure quantity getting set up is pretty easy to do at least in my case though I was reading some of the reviews on the Android side and some users have had trouble with the setup screen but there are always growing pains with a brand new application getting a ton of traffic I'm usually annoyed by preference discovery features in apps but this one is incredibly clean and enjoyable to use instead of a boring list you're presented with these joyful little circles waiting for interaction select your favorite genres a few favorite artists and you're done using this data along with your age you'll have suggestions and playlists waiting for your eyes and ears as soon as you launch the app of course the software is intelligent and will improve suggestions and selections as it gets to know you even better beats music also features an offline mode giving you the ability to download tracks locally so you're not killing your mobile data while you're on the plane train or dogsled there's also a sound quality setting allowing you to adjust fidelity based on your needs or mobile data requirements so you can toggle down the quality if you want to save data and then boost it back up when you're on Wi-Fi back at home or something like that like other music services the goal here is to add favourites to your library build playlists follow curators artists and influencers to tune your musical taste and collection I have to say the software here is on point smooth visually pleasing although that is subjective of course intuitive you'll find all of the standard fare in here Lou next back like add to library share etc you'll also get background on your favorite artists along with their influencers so you can take a trip backwards and explore the inspiration to your favorite tracks you can also listen to music based on your activity ie chilling out cooking dancing starting a riot it's not my cup of tea but it's in there if you happen to be into it the question for most will likely have to do with the inventory of music available in a particular genre that of course is tough to map initially the best thing to do is to get in there and search around yourself after all 20 million tracks is a fair number to sift through I happen to be into hip hop electronic jazz soul and some indie stuff and so far I'm having good luck overall I'm impressed with what they've put together it's obvious that dr. Dre at this point has been a powerhouse in the music industry and continues to be and if he's able to leverage all of those relationships that he has with record labels to continue building the inventory of songs on beats music the other services might be in trouble then again beats music is late to the game and many have already adopted other services and migrating all of your user data all of your playlists and followers and everything else that is baked into these new services might be tough to do at this point so that leaves me with a question for you guys do you currently use a music streaming service if so which one and are you going to check out beats music and lastly would you be willing to switch over if you happen to like the service more or what would make you switch maybe a particular album that you haven't been able to find elsewhere or a series of albums or strengths in a particular genre anyways let me know down in the comments your thoughts but that pretty much wraps this up that was a quick look at the brand new beats music service launching today or yesterday I don't know it's brand new check it out the links to the app are in the description of this video and remember it's free to try for 7 days so I recommend checking it out alright guys thanks as always for watching if you enjoyed this content please remember to leave a thumbs up down below and we'll catch you on the next episode later guys so not only is Squarespace a great place to set up your very first website it's also a great place to set up your very first web store that's because they've got commerce functionality built right in no extra charge it's there and it's very easy to use in fact I have already implemented it on my site on box therapy comm we sell some t-shirts and some stickers just basic stuff but it works just as well for digital merchandise so if you're a musician maybe a hip-hop producer or you're in a band and you want to start to monetize some of your content it's a great way to reach out to fans and to actually sell some stuff to them the interface is incredibly easy to use trust me I was intimidated at the concept of e-commerce in the beginning and having used the Squarespace service I am not intimidated at all anymore in fact I've had a great experience tracking orders taking orders taking payments it's all right there in one simple easy-to-use interface full details in the description as well as a special promo code just for you guys thanks again to Squarespace alright catch guys on the next video later
