If music on demand is a service you truly relish and use on a day-to-day basis, then you’ll love BBC Music’s latest announcement.
The BBC has unveiled its BBC Music app – which will personalise content to match the user’s musical preferences. Best of all, users will be able to access unlimited music from the past week and exclusive BBC content without having to listen to a full show if they don’t want to.
Users will be able to save playlists and can pick recommendations from the BBC’s vast radio and television archive, as well as access suggestions from affiliated DJs, like Annie Mac, and popular programmes, like the Live Lounge sessions.
Available on mobiles and tablets, the app – which launched yesterday – will only be available to registered users.
The app allows users to only access 30-second previews of songs, but the full content can be heard if the playlist is exported onto a partnered digital streaming music service, such as Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube. Although more services may partner with the app as it evolves. Unfortunately, though offline listening is not yet available.
“This is just the start for us, and we want to hear from users over time to make the BBC Music app the best that it can be, so they can enjoy music from across the BBC – whenever and wherever they are,” says BBC Music director Bob Shennan.
