That could still be preferable to Spotify.

However, all this can be avoided at a price. Apple announced at WWDC that iTunes Radio will come in both a free, ad-based version and in a paid, ad-free flavour. Subscribers to iTunes Match will also be able to avoid getting pestered with adverts.

So £25 a year then? Not bad price especially you can already benefit from iTunes Match.

I do not listen to commercial radio so ads might not appeal to me at all.

I thought the whole point of iTunes was so you didn't have to listen to the radio?

I think that this is to expose you to new music which you will hopefully buy.

It is probably how they sold the idea to the labels.

If it's advert free for the paid version, then that's not too bad.
I object to things like Sky where you pay to watch adverts.

The paid one is actually quite good. Though I can still listen to ad free music on the radio with the radio app on the phone.

I do agree about paying for channels and then still getting ads.
