I think it is good that foreign countries are getting advanced technology.Beats audio is starting to take over this U.S. economy with it’s latest headphones,pill,app.These people deserve to listen to their favorite types of music.And have a customization profile account.But i do not like the 9.99 a month fee.Beats already is a multi-million dollar incorporation.Why do they need 9.99 cents a month.

The love listening to music when im in class or im at home.I think music helps me do a better job on my work or while i am working.Everyone loves a certain type of music,really doesn’t matter which type it is.It is still considered music.Beats app pertains to everyone in the entire world.

  • What is the author’s point of view, and how does it impact the overall effect of the text? Use evidence from the selection to support your answer.
He doesn't think the Beats app is that good.He thinks the the other apps he has used previously have been better than the Beats app he had currently used.Playlists I tried out where decent, though not as uncannily accurate as the stations I’ve grown used to on Rdio – but then again I’ve had far more time building a musical profile of my tastes at Rdio.If the person who wrote this article doesn’t like the playlists.Then how many more people are not going to like the app.If people are not willing to pay the 9.99 for your app then that defeats the purpose of your app.
