Leaked : Twitter Music To Involve Spotify, Rdio, iTunes and More
By now, you may have heard that Twitter is launching it’s own music service tomorrow dubbed Twitter Music. Although some is known about the service, there is still a lot that is unknown. Fortunately for audiophiles, there has been some more information leaked about the new service.
As TheNextWeb reports, the latest information comes from the site’s code: designer Youssef Sarhan has discovered the service will have both a Web interface and a separate app, will offer streaming, as well as integrate with Spotify, Rdio, iTunes, Soundcloud, Vevo and YouTube.
Youssef followed the trail of source code that eventually led to this:

.iconmusic-player-source-rdio{background-position:-2801px -0px;height:19px;width:30px}
.iconmusic-player-source-itunes{background-position:-2751px -0px;height:19px;width:30px}
.iconmusic-player-source-soundcloud{background-position:- 2851px -0px;height:14px;width:92px}
.iconmusic-player-source-vevo{background-position:-2963px -0px;height:9px;width:53px}
.youtube-vid player{position:absolute;padding:10px;height:200px}
Other notable features include artist biographies, being able to compose tweets from the music app, follow other users, charts and shows, being able to buy songs, verified users, and search (TNW discovered these last two):
- .artist-bio
- .iconmusic-compose-tweet-btn-bg
- .iconmusic-profile-large-following-btn
- .iconmusic-menu-charts
- .iconmusic-menu-shows
- .iconmusic-player-btn-buy
