<article> <section class="page"> <p>Almost overnight, Taylor Swift went from criticizing Spotify to singing Apple Music’s praises. And the pop star is now revealing why.</p><p>“Apple treated me like I was a voice of a creative community that they actually cared about,” Swift told Vanity Fair (http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2015/08/taylor-swift-cover-mario-testino-apple-music). The magazine calls Swift an “Apple Music crusader” with the “willingness to take on tech giants.”</p><p>A few days before Apple Music launched at the end of June, Swift posted an open letter criticizing Apple (http://www.macworld.com/article/2938635/taylor-swift-takes-issue-with-apple-music-free-trial-in-open-letter.html) for not paying royalties to music rights holders during the free three-month trial. It took mere hours for Apple to reverse the policy, with Apple’s senior VP of Internet software and services Eddy Cue tweeting, “#AppleMusic will pay artists for streaming, even during customer’s free trial period.”</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2956792/streaming-media/taylor-swift-explains-the-difference-between-apple-music-and-spotify.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Taylor Swift explains the difference between Apple Music and Spotify (http://www.macworld.com/article/2956792/streaming-media/taylor-swift-explains-the-difference-between-apple-music-and-spotify.html#tk.rss_all) |
