Music has always been one of the most popular arts, which has led to a huge market around it that has evolved as technology has done. Today it is the streaming music playback platforms that lead this sector, and its biggest representative is Spotify, but its days may be numbered with the arrival of TikTok Music.
The arrival of TikTok in 2016 meant a huge change for all social networks, where the image and the text came to have a background, in favor of videos in short and vertical format. In fact, this design has been imposed in almost any app that we can find, demonstrating the enormous influence that the Chinese app currently has in our society.
But its influence goes beyond social networks and has also fully affected the music industry, which has seen that there is a lot of money in “viral” and as many artists have denounced, record labels are asking them to make songs for TikTokthinking that they will become popular with a dance that some influencer invents.
However, the app owned by Bytedance also wants to make money, knowing this and as Techcrunch points out, now they want to also introduce into the field of streaming music applications, which is a serious problem for Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube or Apple Music to name a few.
What TikTok Music offers
Like most of these types of apps, it offers the same functions with music catalogs and libraries. However, they have also included a series of functions that others (or at least not all) do not have.
This app not only allows you connect using your TikTok profile, but it has a specific section to discover songs that have gone viral in the app. It also has a function similar to Shazam that allows identify songs and you can even search for songs by entering lyric fragments.
But one of the sections that attracts the most attention is that the scrolling in the app is vertical, as in its social network, one of the key aspects to keep users connected for hours since the content never ends.
For now it has a slight drawback
A new choice for consumers is always cause for celebration, however for now TikTok has only launched this app in Brazil and Indonesiacosting in the first mentioned country $3.36 per monththe same as Apple Music costs.
the company still It has not anticipated when it will extend it to the rest of the world, including Spain, so we will still have to wait to be able to try it in our country. Although you may not have to wait that long, because, although it cannot be downloaded yet, it already appears in the Google Play Store.
