Apple signs deal with last major label to release iCloud


Apple has finally reached a deal with Universal Records, the last of the last four major labels to ensure the presence of streaming music service from Apple.


Adding the four record labels and distribution companies with which Apple signed an agreement, the expectation is a wide selection already at the launch of the service. However, sources tell CNET that the service will only already streaming music purchased on iTunes (uuuuuuh!).

On the pricing model, one way or another you will pay. According to the LA Times, iCloud can have a free trial period after launch. After that, it would cost an annual subscription of "around" $ 25 per year. And, well, there is the possibility of advertising on the system - that detail is not yet clear, nor how it can be invasive, but we believe in a format similar to Pandora on your free model, which released an advertisement for a maximum of 10 seconds between some tracks.
