How you do tempt millions of streaming music subscribers away from competing services and on to your own? If you’re Apple, you land a few exclusives with some of the biggest names in music: The company has announced Dr. Dre’s Beats 1 radio show will premiere today, while also debuting a new video for Eminem’s latest single.

We already knew that Dre would be one of the DJs appearing on the Beats 1 radio station associated with Apple Music, but thanks to an official tweet we now know the show — called The Pharmacy — will appear later today, July 4, at 3 p.m. PDT. It’s going to appear every week at the same time too, so if you’re a Dre fan then Saturday’s the day to get your fix.

The rapper and producer is now an Apple executive after the Cupertino company picked up Beats Electronics for a cool $3 billion around this time last year, and he’s obviously happy to help out new pal Tim Cook with a regular slot on Apple Music’s flagship online radio station. “The hip-hop visionary is joined by a cast of characters who bring the West Coast to the world,” says the Apple Music Tumblr.

Eminem — who is signed to Dre’s record label — has also been busy promoting Apple Music, and the video for his new single Phenomenal has now arrived as an Apple Music exclusive. This time Apple used an Instagram post to break the news, and you can find the full seven-minute video (officially described as a “music film”) by going to Eminem’s artist page and scrolling down to the videos section.

Whether these exclusive pieces of content and celebrity endorsements will be enough to get Apple Music up off the ground remains to be seen, but it gives us plenty to check out while we’re all trying out the free three-month trial. If you don’t want Apple to automatically start your subscription when the free trial ends, here’s now to turn off auto-renew.

Apple Music may have made great strides in 2019, but Spotify remains on top of the music streaming industry that saw a significant boost in subscriptions last year.

Online music streaming subscriptions across the world increased by 32% in 2019, for a total of 358 million subscribers, according to the latest findings of Counterpoint Research. The firm attributed the steady growth of the industry to factors that include exclusive content such as podcasts, and promotions such as reduced subscription prices and bundle offers from carriers.
Spotify vs. Apple Music
Spotify continues to dominate, with 31% of the music streaming industry's total revenue and 35% of total paid subscriptions. Counterpoint analyst Abhilash Kumar said that Spotify was able to maintain its top spot due to promotions such as a free three-month trial for Spotify Premium, discounts, customized campaigns, and a focus on providing exclusive content to subscribers.

If you’re a huge music fan, you’ve probably combed through the many playlists, artists, and albums of your Spotify or Apple Music subscription. But what about all the indie artists of the world? Some music-streaming platforms are better than others at celebrating the
‘unsung gem’ acts, but one of the most reliable forums for new, off-the-grid tunes is SoundCloud.

Founded in 2007, SoundCloud has always prioritized music that’s a bit under the radar. With over 320 million tracks in its library, the platform will even let you download a majority of its songs and albums.

Two kids using the Puro Sound PuroQuiet Plus to watch something on a tablet.

Kid-friendly consumer tech is all the rage these days, so it’s no surprise that there’s an entire market of headphones designed exclusively for young ones. But when we think “kid-friendly,” sometimes we imagine products that are built to be a bit more throwaway than their adult counterparts. That’s not the case with the products on our list of the best headphones for kids, though.

We want our child-tailored headphones to include parental-controlled volume limiters, to ensure our children aren’t harming their eardrums. Pretty much every entry on our list checks this vital box, but we also wanted to point you and yours toward products that offer exceptional noise-canceling, built-in mics for phone and video calls, and long-lasting batteries for schooldays or a long flight.
