Samsung's music streaming service is going premium at the competitive price of $4 a month.
A handful of features are made available to Milk Music users who go premium. The subscription places no limit on the number of tracks that can be skipped and it does away with advertisements altogether.
Music playback also benefits from an upgrade. Songs can be streamed in high quality audio and can be downloaded to a compatible smartphone/tablet/smartwatch for offline listening.
Samsung has not disclosed the specifications of its “high audio quality” and the number of stations that can be cached is limited at 25.
Samsung Australia launched Milk Music in February of 2015. “We are now introducing a premium service to give our customers access to high audio quality and the ability to enjoy music offline,” said Prasad Gokhale, vice president of Samsung’s mobile division.
