Sky Songs<\/a> is the new music streaming and download service from BSkyB which will be launching on Monday. Sky has been developing this music service for the past nine months and the service seems to be shaping up ok, but there isnt really anything to innovative here!<\/p>\n

The Sky Songs service is not free to use, but it does have some decent features which might be useful to a certain type of client.<\/p>\n

Sky Songs is web based<\/strong><\/p>\n

For most people services list Spotify aren’t able to be used at work, mainly because it is a downloadable application which most corporate IT departments tend to lock down. However, because Sky Songs is web based\u00a0 it should be a lot more accessible at work, unless your miserable IT department blocks the specific URL.<\/p>\n

Sky Songs recommends music<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unlike services like Spotify, Sky Songs has the ability to recommend music too you. Once the Sky Songs interface is loaded you will see playlists created by its team of music journalists They range from introductions to new genres to topical playlists, such as memorial collections for recently deceased celebs. Sky Songs also includes a recommendation engine, powered by Gracenote, which will react to the songs you\u2019re hearing with a decent suggestion of other tracks you might like.<\/p>\n

You can mark your own favourites<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Sky Songs you have the ability to build playlists and then mark your favourites with a simple heart icon. Once you\u2019ve picked a few favourites, the service will collate them for you, putting all your favourite artists in one place, as well as your most-loved genres and albums. Think of it as an auto-playlist generator, it\u2019s much quicker than building a list of songs by hand, and means all your favourite sounds are just a couple of clicks away.<\/p>\n

Sky Songs integrates with iTunes and Windows Media Pl<\/strong>ayer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sky Songs doesn\u2019t just stream music, you can use it to buy tracks to own too. They\u2019re downloaded as DRM-free MP3 files, and will even drop into the correct place on your computer for iTunes and Windows Media Player to find them.<\/p>\n

When you first set up your Sky Songs account, you\u2019ll be asked which music management software you use. From then on, all your downloads will automatically appear in your existing music library, ready to be synced to your iPod, iPhone or MP3 player.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It offers more, for less<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a biggie, and will certainly be the decider for some people: Spotify is already under pressure from cheaper streaming services, and Sky Songs increases the competition even more. It\u2019s offering unlimited streaming from \u00a36.49 a month which also gives you one \u00a36.49 album or 10 tracks to download and keep. Compare that to Spotify\u2019s \u00a39.99 price tag, with no extras included.<\/p>\n
