BTS real reason behind their break revealed

The BTS, the biggest k-pop band of all time and one of the most famous groups in the world at this time, have decided to take a "long break" to "rest and relax". The announcement was made on Sunday by their agency, Big Hit Entertainment, after a concert in Seoul, South Korea: it will be the first break that BTS will make since they started singing together, in 2013, and it is not clear how long will it last. In the Big Hit Entertainment release it explains that the BTS will use this break to get ready to start working again and ask anyone who meets one of them in the coming months to respect his privacy.

The BTS is a South Korean music group born in 2013 and composed of seven boys around the age of twenty who sold more than 10 million records in South Korea, but which has a gigantic and growing worldwide following. Only in the United States did BTS fill entire stadiums, and they were seen by hundreds of thousands of people. They have won the Top Social Artist Award at the Billboard Music Awards (ie the audience award) in the last three years and have become the second group in the history of music, after the Beatles,  to have three records in number one on the Billboard 200 year .

For those not familiar, k-pop is a South Korean musical and cultural phenomenon, a local pop mixed or inspired by American music, pop, R&B, rock and even hip hop. It is aimed in particular at adolescents and in the last decade has crossed the borders of South Korea making itself known successfully throughout the world, from the United States to India, from the Middle East to Italy. To understand: Psy, the author of the famous "Gangnam Style" of 2012, was the first k-pop singer who was really talked about in the rest of the world.

Attention Mothers, music is good for premature, sad and even stressed kids

A new study conducted in Switzerland confirms that music can do much more than make us dream and calm our senses: the right songs can help to enhance the neurological development of premature babies . We are talking about children born before the 32nd week of pregnancy who, thanks to medical advances, today have a good chance of survival, but who find themselves fighting with the risk of developing neuropsychological (even serious) disorders.

To help the brains of these fragile newborns develop as well as possible - despite the stressful environment of intensive care - researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) have proposed an original solution: music written specifically for them . The first results of this sweet therapy have been published in the Acts of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in the United States and are surprising: medical imaging reveals that neural networks - in particular a network involved in many sensory and cognitive functions - of premature babies who listened to that precise melody developed much better .

Every year, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the HUG accommodates 80 children born too early - between 24 and 32 weeks of pregnancy, which is almost four months ahead of schedule in some cases. The vast majority survive, but half of them later develop neuro-evolutionary disorders - aliases: learning difficulties, attention or emotional disorders. As Petra Hüppi, professor at the UNIGE Faculty of Medicine and Head of the Development and Growth Division of HUG, explains: "At birth, the brains of these children are still immature. Brain developmenthe must therefore continue in the intensive care unit, in an incubator, in very different conditions than when they were still in the womb. The immaturity of the brain, combined with a disturbing sensory environment, explains why neural networks do not develop normally ”.

The Geneva researchers have decided to rely on music starting from a practical idea: as the neural deficits of premature babies are due - at least in part - to unexpected and stressful stimuli (such as the birth before time), but also to the lack of stimuli adapted to their conditions, their environment should be enriched by introducing pleasant elements and well-studied stimuli. Since hearing - generally - works from the beginning, music seems to be the perfect ally to deal with the problem. Which music are we talking about, exactly? "Fortunately, we met the composer Andreas Vollenweider who had already directed musical projects for special situations and showed great interest in creating music suitable for premature babies," explained Hüppi.

Lara Lordier, a doctor in neuroscience and researcher at the HUG and UNIGE, described the process of musical creation as follows: "It was important that these musical stimuli were related to the child's condition. We wanted to structure the day with pleasant stimuli in the appropriate moments: a music to accompany their awakening, a music to accompany their falling asleep and a music to interact during the phases of awakening ". The right tool is everything: Vollenweider has played several in the presence of a nurse specializing in development support to understand which were the most appreciated by young patients, and “The instrument that generated most of the reactions was the flute of Indian snake charmers (punji). The very agitated children calmed down almost instantly - their attention was drawn to the music! ", Lordier told Good News. The musician then composed three sound tracks about eight minutes long each playing punji, the harp and some bells.

The study was conducted with a group of premature babies who listened to music, a control group of premature babies and a full-term control group of newborns to assess whether the brain development of the premature babies who had listened to the music would have been more similar to that of term children. Scientists used functional magnetic resonance imaging at rest on all three groups of children. Long story short, premature babies without music generally had poorer functional connectivity between brain areas than full-term children, confirming the negative effect of prematurity: "The network most affected is the salience networkthat detects the information and assesses its relevance at a specific time, then creates the connection with the other brain networks that must act. This network is essential, both for learning and performing cognitive tasks, as well as in social relationships or emotional management, "confirmed Lara Lordier.

"In intensive care, children are overwhelmed by stimuli unrelated to their condition: open and closed doors, alarms activated and so on. Unlike a child born in time who, in utero, regulates his rhythm to that of his mother , the premature child in intensive care can hardly develop the link between the meaning of a stimulus in a specific context ". However, the neural networks of the children who listened to the music of Andreas Vollenweider improved significantly: the functional connectivity between the salience network and the auditory, sensorimotor, frontal, thalamic and precuneus networks is actually increased - obtaining a network organization more similar to full-term babies.

In short, music is (really) much more than a background for our days, cheers!

The big day has arrived for Rock Music fans on Apple Music and Spotify

Launch of Apple Music Worldwide on Alexa, Amazon Echo and Fire TV Devices Outside US

Apple Music , the music and video streaming service of the Cupertino company, integrates with the speakers with Amazon's voice assistant Alexa, including Amazon Echo speakers thanks to the official ' Apple Music ' skill available from the week of December 17, 2018, initially only in the United States . An important innovation, considering that Apple Music was first available on smart speakers only on Sonos and Apple HomePod (which is not for sale in Italy). Apple Music is not available on Google Home, nor is it compatible with Google Cast technology. And starting March 14, 2019, Apple Music is now also available on Amazon Fire TV, Amazon's platform for televisions, set-top boxes and HDMI keys. Also in this case the support is currently limited only in the USA, where it is now possible to ask Alexa to listen to music from Apple Music via Fire TV, in streaming.

The integration of Appla Music with Alexa was officially announced by Amazon via Alexa's blog a few weeks after its debut: "Music has always been one of Alexa's most popular features and today we are pleased to announce that Apple Music will be available on Echo devices starting from the week of December 17 [2018] ".

The integration of Apple Music with Alexa is available only in the United States and not in all countries where Alexa and Apple Music are available, including Italy. The same happened with  TIDAL, arrived on Amazon Echo  only in the USA (but destined to arrive soon in other countries too). Apple Music should soon be available through Alexa also in the UK .

"Music is one of the most popular features on Alexa: since we launched Alexa four years ago, customers are listening to more music in their homes than ever before," said Dave Limp, senior vice president of Amazon Devices. "We are committed to offering great music suppliers to our customers and since the launch of the Music Skill API to developers only last month we have expanded the music selection on Alexa to include even more high-level services. We are excited to bring Apple Music one of the most popular music services in the United States, to Echo's customers for the upcoming holidays. "

Subscribers to Apple Music in the United States can thus listen to the entire catalog of 50 million songs from Apple Music on all Echo and Fire TV devices, as well as on the smart speakers that integrate Alexa. Apple Music customers can ask Alexa to play their favorite songs, artists and albums or playlists created by Apple Music publishers around the world, covering many activities and moods. Apple Music subscribers can also ask Alexa to stream specialized radio stations on popular genres such as Hip-Hop, decades like the 80s and even popular music from around the world, like K-Pop. It's still,

In the Amazon Alexa blog it has been reported that Alexa users appreciate the simplicity and ease of asking Alexa for the content they want to hear, things that have brought more music into their homes. It turns out that users ask Alexa to play all kinds of music in many different languages, stream tens of millions of radio hours a month and set tens of millions of music alarms since the feature was launched a little more a year ago. 

Activate Apple Music with Alexa .
From the week of December 17, 2018, in the United States you can enable Apple Music on your Amazon Alexa account by accessing the Amazon Alexa app on your mobile or in a browser, then searching the skill store for the 'Apple Music' skill (or you can find it in the category 'musical skills') and pressing on 'Activate' to start the configuration that requires the insertion of username and password of your Apple Music account to be connected to Alexa. It is then possible to set 'Apple Music' as the default music streaming service in the music preferences in the Alexa app: in this way when you ask Alexa for the music to be played it is not necessary to specify 'from Apple Music' every time at the end of the phrase.

Apple Music works with Alexa only if an Apple Music subscription is active: the monthly cost is 9.99 euros per month for a single account, while the 'family' subscription costs 14.99 euros for up to six accounts; students can take advantage of a 50% discount by paying € 4.99 a month. If you have never subscribed to Apple Music, the first three months are free, after which you can continue your subscription or deactivate the service.

What Apple is Doing to improve Apple Music Playlists

Apple hires artists to make Playlist covers on Apple Music. The change will take place in the coming months.

Apple has always been attentive to the smallest details of the graphical interface of its operating system and within its apps. Apparently he is trying, albeit quietly, to visually improve Apple Music, hiring artists to create covers for music playlists, so as to make the music service even more unique.

Although Apple Music is not (yet) a record label, the company's goal is to create iconic covers for their playlists, so that they are instantly recognizable, already visually. This is why the company has recruited several artists, such as the creator of the iconic AC / DC logo.

Before today, Apple's playlists have enjoyed a uniform presentation, not necessarily related to the type of music of the songs contained within the individual lists. With custom covers, instead, you will have a visual representation of the music that the user will find within that playlist. This is the thought of Rachel Newman, head of Apple publishing.

The graphic novelty explainsTheVerge will be launched over the next few months. The company plans to redesign several thousand covers, while currently it would have been able to redesign only hundreds of covers. This shows how over the years Apple has not lost that attention to detail, which is also necessary to compete in a field such as streaming music, where rivals are not lacking, Spotify above all.

Among the artists who will work on the new covers also the Macedonian Italian Stole "Moab" Stojmenov, graphic designer who designed the cover for the Migos Culture album, and which for Apple will take care of the album "Hits Hip Hop".

I wonder if Apple will announce these graphic changes already on March 25th , on the occasion of the much talked about event in which it will also present its new services for publishing and video streaming.

The Future of Apple Music on Google Home

No compatibility for Apple Music on Google Home: the appearance of the streaming service on the app is due to a software bug.

The hopes for the integration of Apple Music in Google Home and, consequently, with the speakers compatible with the service have already been extinguished . The same Big G confirms it: the appearance of the streaming service within the application, found by some users a few days ago, is derived from a software bug .

The story is now well known: a few days ago, some readers of MacRumors found support for Apple Music within the Google Home application , leaving room for various speculations. Many thought that Apple could have made deals with Big G to enable its streaming service to more extensive commands than the current ones in Google Assistant or, again, integration with third-party speakers. In fact, it seems to have been a software error, as specified by Bloomberg:

In detail, a bug would have superimposed the current Google Assistant settings on those of Google Home, making Apple Music mistakenly appear within this latter application. Big G seems to have already solved the problem, reiterating a note already released in the past:

In any case, it is more than obvious that Cupertino is pursuing an expansion policy for its music streaming service. Last December, for example, was launched full compatibility with Alexa the Amazon , as well as the possibility of playing on the speakers of the Echo line. Consequently, it is not excluded that in the future the support can also be guaranteed to all speakers managed by Google Home. All that remains is to wait, consequently, for any updates from the Apple Park company, as well as from the rival - and perhaps future music partner - Google.

Spotify and Apple what is going on with the revenue issue: the question and answer

Spotify opposes the commissions imposed by Apple and submits a complaint to the EU Antitrust Authority. The Cupertino company did not wait for his response.

The relationship between Spotify and Apple is quite tense. The music streaming giant has in fact accused the Cupertino company of abusing its control in the App Store before the EU Antitrust. How? Encouraging Apple Music and damaging rivals including Spotify .

The words of CEO Daniel Ek show that Spotify does not accept that Apple retain 30% of revenues from subscriptions subscribed through the App Store. This tax, said Ek, seems to have been designed to damage the streaming services that compete with Apple Music.

The CEO of Spotify therefore explains that with his Apple policy he would push users to switch to Apple Music , leveraging a more accessible subscription. But are there alternatives?

Spotify therefore asked Apple to be treated in the same way as many other apps on the Appe Store, such as Uber or Deliveroo, which are not subject to the Cupertino company fee and which are not damaged by the same restrictions .

Apple responds to the Spotify allegations
The Apple's response was not long in coming, and it arrived with a long and detailed press release .

The Cupertino giant, to protect its image, responded point by point to the Spotify accusation. On the commission and the alleged limitations Apple declares:

Apple, in the final part of its press release, underlines how important its contribution to Spotify's growth has been over the years:

Spotify to Apple: "monopolist!"
The question and answer between the two parties has now been enriched with a new chapter, the Spotify replica of the Apple press release reported by Variety :

The clash between Spotify and Apple seems to be far from over. But who will come out the winner and what will the decision of the EU Antitrust be? And in the case of Apple's debacle, will there be consequences for its management of the App Store?

One of the most requested features by Apple Music users is Handoff support, which would allow you to start playing a song on Mac and continue listening to it on iPhone (or vice versa) without interruption. To overcome this lack, from today you can download the PlayOff app for iOS and macOS. MOR 101.9 Manila

PlayOff does all this thanks to a client for Mac that can be downloaded for free from the Mac App Store and its app for iOS, available on the App Store for € 2.29 . The app uses the Bluetooth connection and Apple's MusicKit framework to share Apple Music music playback between an iPhone and a Mac .

Once PlayOff is installed on both devices, you will need to perform a simple pairing procedure. Once this is completed, you can use the PlayOff app on iOS to continue playing a song immediately from your Mac . The app also works the other way around, allowing you to continue playing a song from your iPhone on your Mac. DJ Chacha on MOR 101.9

However, there are some limitations on PlayOff, such as the fact that iPhone and Mac must be within Bluetooth range in order to take advantage of the Handoff function. However, this is a fairly relative limit, given that most of the time the user will be near the desk when he needs to transfer the song from Mac to iPhone or vice versa.

For the rest, PlayOff works perfectly and fills one of the gaps in Apple Music. Always listen to DJ Chacha on MOR 101.9

How to take advantage of Apple Music using search feature

An interesting little novelty under the hood for Apple Music. Finally from today also in Italy comes the new search function of a song through the text.

The new feature was launched by Apple a little on the sly, with an activation on the server side, but surely many of you will have noticed in the search tab the appearance of a new message inherent to this new feature of Apple Music.

By pressing the confirmation button, we will be ready to take advantage of this new feature, which is very simple. Still using the Search tab, you can simply insert a portion of the text inside the search field at the top to start searching for the song with the related text, obviously paying attention to select the search on Apple Music if the song was in your library

As you can see everything is really very simple and in just a few minutes the search result will display the song we were looking for among the best results. We certainly do not find ourselves in front of some kind of function but certainly in front of a valid instrument to find, for example, the song that we have perhaps listened to outdoors and of which we have understood only the text.
