[Electronics-Talk] apple music and other music

[cheez]

I haven't heard any ads with the free iHeart app.
Yes, they have a large variety of music.

The only ad I've seem is one asking if I want to upgrade to the paid 
version.  I just tap Not Now or Cancel and it goes away.

Another app you may want to check out is Sero.  I think it's still called 
iBlink.
I think it's put out by the ACB.  They have music stations and it is free. 
Do a search for iBlink in the App Store.

>> Hi all,
>>
>> I was wondering how accessible  apple music is and does it work best on 
>> apple’s ios devices which are the ipod touches, ipads, and the iphones?
>> Not sure I can use it on a pc.
>> Does that service have stations?
>> Can you listen to tune-in radio for unlimited timing on IOS devices?
>>
>> I was thinking of trying the music services such as spotify. I already 
>> tried pandora on my pc and found it only semi accessible.
>> With pandora, the links are not visible with jaws and not all buttons are 
>> labeled. I use it a little and found that if I press enter on awords 
>> which are links, they still are activated.
>> If I get a tablet, I definitely want to use streaming music but I heard 
>> accessibility can vary.  Also, affordability is a factor too so I’d have 
>> to weigh the costs.
>>
>> The good thing about itunes is you can pay about a dollar for any song 
>> and then play them whenever you want to. Unfortunately, the  pc with 
>> itunes and jaws don’t seem to work too well. Its always very slow and I’ve 
>> never been able to find the buttons to buy songs. I tabbed around the 
>> frames. I figured out how to play my bought music, but needed sighted 
>> help to buy it.
>>
>> Thanks for information.
>> Ashley
