Apple is making its play to shake up online music with a subscription service combining on-demand songs, streamed playlists and a social stage for musicians.
The new Apple Music - which could be a powerful rival to online services such as Spotify, Pandora and Jay Z's fledgling Tidal - will launch June 30 in 100 countries.
It will initially be available to consumers with Apple devices and later this year to those using Android - a shift for Apple, which aims to attract customers from the rival mobile system dominant around the world.
