Monday, January 13thBeats Music Launching 1/21There hasn't been this much hype over a music service since Apple's dancing silhouettes. Heralded as a new kind of music subscription service, Beats will not have a free tier, like its competitors. It will focus on helping consumers answer the question: What do I want to listen to? It also features a section called Right Now, which generates a playlist using a consumer's "musical status"... based on a place, activity, person and genre of music.With a slew of advertising, an already trusted brand name, and a partnership with AT&T... Beats Music seems primed for a successful launch. More on that story and news from the week below.
