Apple Intends to Create Pandora Rival

Although Apple dominated the headlines lately with their court victory over Samsung and news of the impending iPhone 5, it has also stepped forward on the music side of things. According to The Wall Street Journal, the Silicon Valley giant has announced it is in talks to create a custom radio service in the same vein as Pandora. In true Apple fashion, the new service would be available across its entire line of products and could potentially be available for Windows release. Currently, the custom radio market is being dominated by Pandora and chances are that the world’s largest tech company could leave another mark with their online music presence and its massive base of hardware. Apple is reportedly seeking licenses that would let it overcome many of the restrictions that other companies like Pandora face, such as playing the same song multiple times.
