Samsung Galaxy S III fans in Europe now have a new audio service to mull over, and it’s called the Samsung Music Hub. It will initially be made available only for the company’s latest smartphone, after which it is expected to reach other devices.
The sought-after Music Hub brings in a host of features to elevate the music listening experience. It’s an ‘all-in-one’ and fully integrated mobile service dedicated to music. A partnership between mSpot and Samsung has brought the former’s technological services onto the Hub.
“When you ask yourself, ‘what do I want to listen to?’ there is now one simple answer, for every mood, every place and everyone. With the new Music Hub, we’re bringing the joy back to music – listening, collecting and sharing,” commented TJ Kang, Senior Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ Media Solution Center.
The utility will be offered in the form of a free as well as a Premium version. The Samsung Music Hub Store is free of charge and provides access to a wide catalog of approximately 19 million songs by 7digital. Users are entitled to receive 30-second previews of the songs in the concerned assortment. Purchased tracks are hoarded in the cloud and are automatically integrated with the concerned device. Besides, songs can be stored locally on the handset to listen to while offline.
The Music Hub Premium facility can be availed of at £9.99 per month, a scheme that provides unlimited music streaming. The service stores songs in the cloud, making them accessible at any given place and 100GB storage is provided for unmatched songs. Users can search for new tracks, share them with pals and stay updated on the lyrics or album details as well.
The Hub offers personal radio, allowing users to create their own stations with songs and artists they prefer. Listeners can also tag a desired song, and access it later. All the functions of the Music Hub are optimized for mobile usage, even in the absence of internet connectivity. The audio settings have been tailored to save on data usage and battery life. Moreover, customized recommendations for songs, radio stations, or artists are provided to users.
As mentioned above, the Samsung Music Hub will be made available first for the Galaxy S III in the UK, France, Spain, Italy and Germany.
