The app, to be called Twitter Music, could be released on iOS by the end of this month, according to a person familiar with the matter. Twitter Music suggests artists and songs to listen to based on a variety of signals, and is personalized based on which accounts a user follows on Twitter. Songs are streamed to the app via SoundCloud.
The app's icon reportedly consists of a silver play button with the Twitter bird looking down on it from the top corner.
When launched the app will offer a guided tour and ask Twitter users to sign in for personalized music recommendations. The app will work without needing a Twitter account.
There are four main tabs in the app:
● Suggested - recommends songs and artists based on a user's follower graph. ie. artists they are following, and artists that other people they follow are following.
● #NowPlaying - brings in links to songs tweeted by people you follow who tweet using that hashtag.
● Popular - brings in songs trending on We are Hunted
● Emerging - tab tracks up-and-coming artists
Artists and songs are said to be displayed using a grid design. Tapping a tile for an artists causes it to expand and present a short bio along with links to SoundCloud and iTunes. A play button is then tapped to start streaming music.
