Milk Music, previously, has been just a plain Samsung application, compatible with its Smart Watches, tablets, TVs, and Smart Phones. However, Samsung announced that it is now available for all through a browser, Monday.
Users will be prompted to register for a free account on the official Samsung website in order to start receiving the music service. The South Korean company introduced the application 12 months ago for its smartphones, featuring 13 million songs in its catalog.
Just like its app version, its Milk Music, online-based, player will be played through the reputable Slacker Internet Radio service. Users will gain access to more than 200 radio stations in varied genre categories; however, the company has not offered the exact list of artists or CDs that are featured in its web player. As the app's dial-user interface alternative, the internet-based browser service contains a "radio bar" to hop from one song to another.
Its users could even save their customized playlist on it.
Besides targeting Apple's iTunes radio market, the Milk Music service is also going after the avid fans of streaming radio providers such as Slacker, Spotify, and Pandora. Unlike those that require paid subscriptions for an ad-free service, Milk Music has advertisements and a premium that costs US$ 3.99 per month. Its premium service enables the action of skipping songs.
Originally, Milk Music was limited only to Samsung Galaxy phones; hence, expanding it to the Web for non-Samsung subscribers is good news for all, the PC Magazine said. Now, the music service could be used across platforms, especially to people who are new to the digital company's services.
