Sony’s Music Unlimited has long been part of the company’s digital strategy to compete with services like Spotify, Pandora, and, to a lesser extent, iTunes. Music Unlimited, much like other services, is based on subscriptions which start at $4 a month for unlimited music streaming with basic channel access. Those who pony up $10/mo will be treated to the ability to create playlists, and access charts, new releases, and premium channels. Sony also allows you to sync your music to the cloud, giving you access to it on all Music Unlimited devices which include the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Android devices, and Sony’s 2011 and above line of Bravia televisions and home theater systems. Sony has also long promised iOS support which would include support for 200 million new devices.
Now, Sony has been to deliver on the promise by releasing Music Unlimited for iOS. The free app is currently only available to download in New Zealand but that should change as the app passes through and hits more Apple servers. Though the app will run on the iPad, its current form was designed for iPhone and iPod Touch users. While not a deal breaker, it once again points to Sony being behind on the curve while most modern day apps on iOS launch with support for both platforms.
A list of countries with access to Music Unlimited and picture of the iOS app await you after the jump.
