    Everyone already gets 3 month trial, so using this deal after the trial is good.

    • renaldof on 11/07/2015 - 12:35

      problem is that this deal might not be available anymore in 3 months

    is that to make up for the mess that was MOG (which became Beats, which became apple subscription)

    is it all customers or only new post paid?

        MOG wasn't given away free for 12 months. Free membership might be the trade off. Hopefully it's unmetered.

          The answer is to make an Offline Playlist (on your iPhone, tap the "…" then select "Make this playlist available offline" - Now Just add your music to the playlists and your devices will auto-download the songs for offline play.

        • Falbium on 11/07/2015 - 12:45

          @massafiri:
          I can see how that would be a solution for some people. Spotify works in the same way.

          Personally, having to store the music files on my device defeats the whole purpose of an application for streaming music. If I have to store the files anyway, I'll use better quality audio files (lossless) that are not crippled by design (copy protected/app restricted) in a decent player like Poweramp.

          It will be interesting to see how they approach it. Most people don't realise MOG is restricted to 48kbps AAC+ when using unmetered cellular data. It's not great quality, but at least it's free data. For me this Apple Music deal would be either life changing or just a useful bonus, depending on data metering. If I was a betting man I'd put all my money on it being metered; unmetered is too good to be true. We'll know for sure in a few days if the OP info is correct.

        • [Deactivated] on 11/07/2015 - 18:30

          @jonsnow:
          Actually it works really well when travelling. An example is MOG will only work if it's streaming from an AU IP address, so if you download them before going overseas, you can take the songs with you.

        I found it really cool. I can make playlists of whatever music I want (granted that iTunes has).

        And I can then select the option to make it Available Offline. I can even do this on my iOS device (which I have). I was planning on paying for this and the fact I can get a year for free is just icing on top in my opinion.

        And if I could get Audiobooks… it would be the best thing in the audio world in my opinion.

          I can't tell if you are really thick of just Apple bashing.

          Discounting how designed it the ability to search a large library of songs and download them to our device is a great product.

  • krouton24 on 08/07/2015 - 10:20

    Yes.

    While I prefer some of Spotify's features and UI at the moment, I'd happily use the jailbroken-improved-version of Apple Music if streaming is unmetered.

    What motivates me may not motivate others.

    • stevensx on 11/07/2015 - 19:59
      +4

      Fact of the matter is that you don't need to be a Telstra customer and pay premium in the first place? They don't need to give out rewards unfortunately as people like you and I sign up to them regardless. I have to pay $20 more on their equivalent plan purely due to the fact that where I live they're the only company that gives me any decent reception. My premium price every month goes towards me being able to use the phone without it cutting out all the time.

      • Mike0707 on 12/07/2015 - 00:24

        I live South East Brisbane so I really should switch. Although I enjoy the quality it often isn't quote worth the price each month.

  • kfuerza on 13/07/2015 - 16:06

    On the 3 month trial now. A long time MOG subscriber. Keeping that going until the 3 month Apple Music trial finishes.
    Hopefully, this turns out to be true and will be an extension of the 12 month trial.
    If Apple Music is unmetered like MOG is/was it will be a no brainer for us.

    Having said that, the fact that Spotify lets me D/L music and use it in Djay2 on the iPhone/iPad is a very VERY compelling argument to switch.

    • Elementphil on 14/07/2015 - 07:24
      +1

      One of the benefits of Apple Music is any 'offline' music you download, is treated like stock music. So you could theoretically use it in any app, including Djay2. I have used songs in a few apps already, (I'm on iOS 9 beta 3 if that may be a feature unique to that update)

      • kfuerza on 14/07/2015 - 13:18
        +1

        Yeah, I tried that as soon as I signed up for the free trial. :-)

        Djay2 gives a DRM 'no go' message for Apple music.
        It is my understanding that Spotify does not.

        What apps dos you use that allowed you to use the d/l tracks from apple music?

        As you stated, the new version of iOS might eliminate this.

      I also had it the first time i opened the app in new IOS few days ago and never saw that option again. I should have clicked it that time. It might be just for carrier billing though and not 12 months free service!

    Goes to show that things that are too good to be true usually are. Why would Telstra do this in the first place?

    I could see it as a new signing bonus or peace offering for old MOG users. There really is no precedent for this sort of thing.

    I'm disappointed but not surprised, Telstra have never let me down but they've never exceeded my expectations either.

      If Apple don't make the UI better, i'll stick with Spotify. Happy to pay for a decent interface. I've played around with it on my phone and it seems very clunky (I'm more a 'add lots of songs to playlists' person rather than a 'let's listen to an entire album' person). Unmetered would have convinced me to swap though (I download and store offline now, and whilst I can do that with Apple Music, the UI still gets me).

    Note: This is a rumour ONLY and is not published as fact

    Launch: On or Around July 14, 2015

    Telstra and Apple will offer 1 year (12 months) of Apple Music for FREE if they have a Telstra Postpaid consumer plan (small business, enterprise, commercial not included).

    After the free year, it would be $11.99/mo via carrier billing exclusive to Telstra.

    Downside: Unlike MOG, Apple Music will count against your data allowance (metered).

    For Family Plans, that would be $16.99 for 6 users but it would be direct thru Apple App Store. The 12 month free will not apply.

    • Jad on 14/07/2015 - 16:53

      The mention here of carrier billing through Telstra is interesting to me. Although this deal apparently wont be available for prepaid customers, it would be nice if carrier billing was still available to allow our Apple Music subscription to come out of the recharge credit (much like MOG was/is).
