Pure Music has finally unveiled its new service with over 15 million songs. The service seems to be quite a legit competitor to Spotify,
that is if you are looking for a Spotify substitute. The subscription is likely to start from £4.99 per month and it will let you stream unlimited music.
The service may sound affordable, but it will come with some limitations. While all the songs are up for purchase at e20 Kbps, you should be able to stream most of these songs at 128Kbps speed. Pure will also let you use identification service for free, which means you can use Pure radio or your phone for identifying a particular song. After identification, you can choose to either buy the song or may access it through your regular subscription service. While Pure Music already has an iPhone app, you will have to wait a little for an Android app.
Pure Music is all decked up with usual features like recommendations and playlists. With this service, you would be getting recommendations based on popular choices. You can create your personalized playlists and can search for your favorite songs or bands. Pure Music's repository of 15 million songs is expected to cater to varied tastes in music. You can choose to croon with Bruno Mars or may go retro with Elvis Presley.
The downside of Pure Music is that it does not let you cache the music for offline access. You can either choose to stream the songs or you can buy them. Pure Music has said that it is working on cache feature. The service will launch in the UK in December.
