Samsung has launched an online music service names as Milk Music exclusively for Galaxy range of Android devices. The name sound a bit odd, but apparently it was inspired by Samsung’s “fresh” take on delivering internet radio service to its user base. Milk Music boasts ad-free music unlike Pandora which offers music with ads.
Don’t go confusing Milk with Samsung’s music hub, however, as the two are completely separate applications. Unlike Music Hub, Milk doesn’t require you to set up an account: just simply start the app and commence to rock out.
For now Milk is only compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S4, S3, Note 3, Note 2, and the GS4 Active and Mini. It’ll, of course, be compatible with Samsung’s Galaxy S5.
Milk has over 200 different musical genre stations, giving you access to over 13 million songs. One would think this would be a licensing nightmare for the Korean manufacturer, but it turns out it’s not, because Samsung’s Milk Music is all handled by Slacker Radio.
The user interface of Milk is definitely “fresh”; it’s unique and provides you with a wide variety of listening options. You can create stations based on artists and songs , and there’s also a “Spotlight” section that gives you access to exclusive tracks only available to Milk listeners.
Ad-free, no-need-to-register, no-cost internet radio with exclusive content and a huge library of songs sounds like a win for consumers, but how does Samsung profit from this? The Korean tech giant did admit that they are experimenting with the ad-free model for now (as they know customers hate commercials), so this means that if Milk does develop a big enough user base that advertisements may come later on.
