Last night, Apple announced its long-awaited music streaming service Apple Music.

The tech giant hopes it will be a significant rival to Spotify in the on-demand music market.

Apple says the service will launch in more than 100 countries on June 30th, and would cost US$9.99 (€8.84) per month for one person - the same cost as Spotify.

Users will be able to stream songs or save them for offline listening.

Apple Music will also feature a 24/7 global radio station called 'Beats One' broadcasting from LA, New York and London.

Mic Wright is a journalist at The Next Web. He told Newstalk Breakfast this could also be a concern for radio.
