"It was reported in October that Apple was looking to launch iTunes Radio in the U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand in early 2014."
... and Apple was right
(Although i don't care for this...)
Not trolling - I'm genuinely curious. I don't use it myself, but I don't listen to the radio much in general (I don't use Pandora or Spotify, either).
Apple was only 1/4 of the way right. There isn't much time until we are 25% done 2014.
I think it's a no brainer compared to the services I've used. I use Deezer every day because I get premium for free, and they've got some good songs on their radio stations but the variety is extremely limited.
Spotify on the other hand, I tried their radio service, played one song and then it hit me with an advert. Screw that, definitely not worth paying £10 a month for ad-free spottily when I can pay £22 a year for ad free iTunes Radio.
Still waiting for that UK announcement though...anytime now Apple!
