TikTok is great for discovering new music. Over the years, it has also become home to sweet remixes and creative edits online. Perhaps this motivates ByteDance to launch its music streaming service in several countries.
This streaming app is known as TikTok Music. It was launched in Brazil, Indonesia, and recently Australia. Currently, only users in Brazil and Indonesia can access the service via a subscription fee. Meanwhile, users in Mexico, Singapore and Australia are restricted from the service because the app is still in closed beta. Simply put, it is available only to a limited number of testers, who benefit from a free three-month trial period of access.
In addition, users can enjoy a full music catalogue from Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group and Sony Music. Users can also listen to the full version of the most viral songs on TikTok. Moreover, they can enjoy personalised music recommendations and create collaborative playlists with their friends. The streaming app can also find music through lyrics or any pieces of music like Shazam.
Just like on other social media platforms, users can write comments or get in touch with music lovers too. This makes it a veritable "social music streaming service," according to a TikTok press release cited by several industry websites.
