Apple Music has already achieved an impressive number of users.

[Tek.no] Apple’s new Spotify competitor Apple Music has already managed to whip up some controversy in the record industry, but this does not seem to have put any noticeable damper on the popularity among consumers . Now there are figures showing that music pouring service has grown significantly since launch.

Apple Music has already come up in a number of test subscribers throughout 11 million during the first five weeks after the service opened in late July , reports USA Today.

The information comes from the deputy director at Apple’s Internet services, Eddie Cue. Of the 11 million subscribers have 2 million chosen the relatively favorable family subscription to the service, according to Cue.

As USA Today points out, this implies that if all of the test subscribers are switching to become paying subscribers when free period is over, Apple Music already have half as many paying customers as its main competitor Spotify.

Spotify namely according to themselves, about 20 million subscribers, but so was the service also launched as early as 2008. Thus enough therefore the old trotter part to fear from Apple Music, which is also the reason why Spotify has now begun to mobilize. Both services have otherwise the same price on individual subscriptions, namely 99 million.

However, it is important to remember that fresh figure includes trial subscription to Apple Music, so it remains of course to see how many people are joining further .

Despite the popularity be some users in general have experienced technical problems with the service, which includes the wrong name on songs. Eddie Cue said facing USA Today that Apple will take the issue seriously, and that new updates come to fix the problems.

In the coming months, after the trial is over, should Apple launch a comprehensive markedsføringskamnpanje to capture many users as possible, and the company is said to have a goal of 100 million users. How it goes with the service ahead remains of course to see, especially considering that also competitors are stepping up efforts. (ANB)
