Twitter's new music service is finally open to the public

Twitter's much-heralded music app, Twitter Music, is finally open to the public.

The new service, which is only available on iPhone and web at the moment, mines the wealth of data from tweets to find and showcase trending tracks and emerging artists.

Users can stream music through the app by signing into Spotify and Rdio, and a #NowPlaying dashboard shows you the music that the people you follow have tweeted about. It also connects to iTunes but that will only play track previews. There are suggestions that service will also allow hook ups with YouTube, Soundcloud and Vevo.
