Apple launches iTunes Radio in Australia

Australia has become only the second market in the world where Apple has launched iTunes Radio.

iTunes Radio is a free Internet radio and streaming music service featuring more than 100 stations and a huge catalog of music from the iTunes Store.

According to Apple, iTunes Radio’s stations  “are DJ-curated, editorial, or hybrid stations that appear at the top of the iTunes Radio screen and will change periodically.”

“When you tune into iTunes Radio on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC or Apple TV, you’ll have access to stations inspired by the music you already listen to,” says iTunes in a statement.

The service is supported by advertising and is free. Users who have paid for iTunes Match will get iTunes Radio ad-free. All your music, even songs you’ve imported from CDs, will be stored in iCloud.
