Apple reaches an agreement with Warner Music to expand the catalog

Custom Apple Music Playlists

Music streaming services have become the most comfortable method for many users at the time of this listen to your favorite music, leaving aside the need to go looking for the new albums that are launched on the market, your favorite artists ... through the download websites.

A few months ago Spotify reached an agreement with the main record companies to reduce the amount you pay for the reproduction of songs under your sellor. This new deal had a limitation, since users of the free service could not access the news in the first two weeks.

Now it is Apple who seems to have copied the strategy. As reported by Bloomberg, Apple has closed a deal with Warner Music, the first major deal Apple closes in the two years it has been in operation and sets a precedent for future negotiations with other record labels.

As we can read in the Bloomberg report, Warner will offer full access to its catalog including the most recent stars such as Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars as well as other artists such as Red Hot Chile Peppers. All your catalog it will be available on both Apple Music and iTunes.

The agreement includes the payment of a small percentage of Apple Music subscribers. This new agreement may mean that Apple starts paying less money to artists who offer their music through its music streaming service.

According to Bloomberg, Apple has had much more freedom when negotiating Because it does not offer a free modality of its service, something that its maximum rivals such as Spotify and Pandora offer. These companies are forced to offer a "something more" due to the modalities they offer.
