Along with the Samsung Galaxy S3 ”” which arrived in Spain yesterday ””, a new service from the Korean giant was also making an appearance which, for the moment, will only work on its new flagship mobile. It is Samsung Music Hub, a service for purchasing and storing music on the Internet. Something similar to how the popular Spotify service works. Of course, this feature is in addition to the other functions of the smartphone.
Samsung Music Hub will only work with the Samsung Galaxy S3, the latest smartphone from the Asian manufacturer. The service that will work through an Internet connection, offers an extensive catalog of 19 million songs that you can enjoy from anywhere. But beware, it also allows the user to upload their own music "" something similar to what iTunes Match, Apple's service is trying to "".
In order to enjoy it, the Samsung Galaxy S3 customer must open the account from the terminal and will have a monthly fee of 10 euros "" the same price as Spotify if you want to use the service from a smartphone "". There will also be the possibility of creating a free account, although this will only allow you to listen to 30 seconds of each song, in addition to having advertising. Of course, while Spotify allows access from a maximum of three different computers, Samsung Music Hub will do so on up to a total of five computers, including smartphones, tablets or computers.
For it to work from a "" PC or Mac "" computer, all you have to do is enter the Internet browser and access from the enabled portal. And all this without having to install any application "" remember that you can only sign up from the Samsung Galaxy S3 "". Of course, the company has also commented that Samsung Music Hub will also reach other important equipment of the manufacturer such as: Samsung Galaxy S2 or Samsung Galaxy Note. In addition, work is also being done so that their smart TVs also have access from Samsung Smart TV. What's more, Samsung is also planning to bring the service to other mobile platforms and thus be able to compete directly with its direct rivals: Spotify and iTunes.
On the other hand, the storage available to upload your own content is up to 100 GigaBytes; an amount more than enough to store the user's entire discography. Furthermore, the service claims to be smart by recommending music that suits consumer preferences. That is, in addition to being able to upload the music that is stored or listen to the extensive catalog that Samsung offers, it will also try to discover new artists or styles.
Likewise, Samsung Music Hub also offers the ability to listen to Internet radio stations or create playlists as with Spotify or iTunes. In this way, you only have to press the Play button and listen to the tracks without interruptions. Finally, we recall that Samsung Galaxy S3 can be purchased with the main national operators; take a look at the prices with Movistar, Vodafone, Orange or Yoigo.
