Anumber of sources refer to this feature as something comparable to SoundCloud, the music streaming service that identifies itself as the audio version of Youtube. This feature is going to be an exciting direction for Apple. Beats the popular headphones maker, typically doesn´t provide this service; however. Apple has always been about more than just music cosumption. The company is also an advocate of music creation. Apple can use this feature to become competitive with websites like BandCamp where new songs are created and discovered.
