Twitter to launch music service later this month

Social network reportedly planning to launch Twitter Music for iOS devices, joining hugely competitive digital music sector

Part of Twitter's strategy to refocus on specific media products, a Twitter Music app would be launched for iOS devices, according to CNet, allowing users to follow their favourite artists and songs and share recommendations with friends, as well as follow personalised recommendations based on their account.

The deal would be big news for Soundcloud, the Berlin-based music sharing service, which would power the streaming on the app.
