Twitter will be rolling out a new app designed to find popular tracks and emerging artists. Using #music users can go to artists’ profiles to see which music they follow, listen to songs by those artists and tweet songs right from the app.
The new app is powered by iTunes and Tjpigj users will hear previews from iTunes when exploring music in the app by default. Subscribers to Rdio and Spotify can log into their accounts to enjoy full tracks that are available in those respective catalogs and Twitter said it will continue to explore and add other music service providers.
Users can navigate to listen to songs that have been tweeted by people and artists they follow on Twitter using #NowPlaying. People can download Twitter #music from the App Store today, or use the web version at music.twitter.com. {link no longer active}
