Apple Music is finally making its way to Android. The app, which is available Tuesday in beta, comes nearly five months after the service launched on iOS and on iTunes for Windows/Mac.
“Welcome Android users to AppleMusic,” Apple senior vice president of internet software and services Eddie Cue said in a message fired off at Twitter.
Apple Music applications tuned for Android-powered gadgets became available on the virtual shelves of Google’s online Play Store. Apple CEO Tim Cook recently said Apple had 6.5 million paying Apple Music customers with 15 million in total including free trial customers.
The Android version of Apple Music also provides people with access to their purchases from Apple’s iTunes download store, a first for Android. For now, the main missing feature is the ability to play music videos.
The expansion to Android, the world’s most widely used mobile operating system, promised to ramp the ranks of people signed up for the service.
