The next big thing in music is here according to Samsung. The company on Friday <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/samsung-launches-milk-music-with.html" target="_blank">announced</a> a new streaming music service called <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/samsung-launches-milk-music-with.html" target="_blank">Milk</a>. It’s a bit unique in that it is free to download, free to use (no ads) and doesn’t require users to log in.<br />

Samsung worked with Slacker to develop the service which launches with 
some 200 radio stations and 13 million songs on tap. It uses a circular 
dial similar to classic analog radio dials. Simply slide your finger 
around the dial to “tune in” to various genres of music. If you find a 
channel that you like, you can then run your finger along the inside of 
the dial to select different channels within the genre.<br />

The user interface was <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/samsung-launches-milk-music-with.html" target="_blank">designed </a>to be easy to use – something that’s 
apparently a problem with other services. Samsung’s Ryan Bidan said 
there is a group of consumers that haven’t engaged yet in mobile music 
because current services are too hard to understand and people don’t 
like advertising while consumers that have taken the<a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/samsung-launches-milk-music-with.html" target="_blank"> plunge</a> have been 
dissatisfied with the experience thus far.<br />

<br />
The service will initially be available for the Galaxy S III and S4, 
the Galaxy Note II and Note 3, the Galaxy Mega, the Galaxy S4 Mini and 
will be ready for the Galaxy S5 when it launches on April 11. It’s 
available through <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/samsung-launches-milk-music-with.html" target="_blank">Google</a> Play and Samsung is considering bringing it to 
competing devices as well according to Daren Tsui, vice president of 
music at Samsung Media Solutions.
