Twitter has launched its Twitter #music service and associated iPhone app that offers music from iTunes, Spotify or Rdio. This service uses activity on Twitter, which includes tweets and what people are engaged with to find the most popular tracks and emerging artists. At present you can search for an artist, which will take you to the artist’s page. From the artists page you can follow them on twitter, listen to songs, view artists they follow and also tweet about the songs from the app.
The new iPhone app features Twitter charts, you can follow artists, tweet and preview songs from the iTunes store. If you are subscribed to Spotify or Rdio, you can listen to stream songs from within the app as well.
Twitter #music app is now available for iPhone from the Apple App Store. The web version of the music service is now available at music.twitter.com. Twitter has promised that an android application is in the works as well. At present the service is limited to the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
