**A First Look at Beats Music: The Latest Addition to the Music Streaming Wars**

I was reading some of the reviews on the Android side and some users have had trouble with the setup screen, but there are always growing pains with a brand new application getting a ton of traffic. I'm usually annoyed by preference Discovery features in apps, but this one is incredibly clean and enjoyable to use. Instead of a boring list, you're presented with these joyful little circles waiting for interaction - select your favorite genres, a few favorite artists, and you're done.

Using this data along with your age, you'll have suggestions and playlists waiting for your eyes and ears as soon as you launch the app. The software is intelligent and will improve suggestions and selections as it gets to know you even better. Beats Music also features an offline mode giving you the ability to download tracks locally so you're not killing your mobile data while you're on the plane, train, or dog sled. There's also a sound quality setting allowing you to adjust Fidelity based on your needs or mobile data requirements - so you can toggle down the quality if you want to save data and then boost it back up when you're on Wi-Fi back home.

The goal here is to add favorites to your library, build playlists, follow curators, artists, and influencers to tune your musical taste and collection. I have to say the software here is on point - smooth, visually pleasing, although that is subjective of course. Intuitive, you'll find all of the standard fare in here, like Loop next, back, like, add to library, share Etc. You'll also get background on your favorite artists along with their influencers so you can take a trip backwards and explore the inspiration to your favorite tracks.

You can also listen to music based on your activity - I.E chilling out, cooking, dancing, starting a riot - it's not my cup of tea but it's in there if you happen to be into it. The question for most will likely have to do with the inventory of music available in a particular genre that of course is tough to map initially. The best thing to do is to get in there and search around yourself after all 20 million tracks is a fair number to sift through.

I happen to be into hip-hop, electronic, Jazz, soul, and some indie stuff, and so far I'm having good luck with what they've put together. It's obvious that Dr Dre at this point has been a Powerhouse in the music industry and continues to be, and if he's able to leverage all of those relationships that he has with record labels to continue building the inventory of songs on Beats Music, then the other services might be in trouble.

Beats Music is late to the game and many have already adopted other services and migrating all of your user data, all of your playlists and followers, and everything else that is baked into these new services might be tough to do at this point. So, leaving me with a question for you guys: do you currently use a music streaming service if so, which one, and are you going to check out Beats Music? And would you be willing to switch over if you happen to like the service more?

**Using Squarespace to Set Up Your First Web Store**

Squarespace is not only a great place to set up your very first website but also a great place to set up your very first web store. They've got Commerce functionality built right in, no extra charge, it's there and it's very easy to use. In fact, I have already implemented it on my site, onboxtherapy.com, we sell some T-shirts and some stickers, just basic stuff, but it works just as well for digital merchandise.

Squarespace is a great place to reach out to fans and to actually sell some stuff to them if you're a musician, maybe a hip-hop producer or you're in a band and you want to start to monetize some of your content. The interface is incredibly easy to use - trust me, I was intimidated at the concept of e-commerce in the beginning, and having used the Squarespace service, I am not intimidated at all anymore. In fact, I've had a great experience with tracking orders, taking orders, taking payments, it's all right there in one simple, easy-to-use interface.
