Apple today has announced that it is going to shut off Beats Music streaming service on November 30. Well, according to the support page of Beats Music website, all subscriptions will be cancelled on November 30 and users will be asked to move to Apple Music.

According to the Beats Music support page:
"Beats Music ends on November 30. Your subscription will be cancelled, but you can move your picks and preferences over to Apple Music right now.All the pros that curated music for you are still crafting more amazing experiences. Plus, on Apple Music, you’ll get even better recommendations based on music you already listen to and love, 24/7 global radio with Beats 1, exciting material from your favorite artist, and more."
Back in June when Apple launched Apple Music streaming service, the Beats Music service stopped accepting new subscribers. There's seem to be no reason for Apple to keep Beats Music service alongside Apple Music. Because Apple this week released the beta version of Apple Music for Android. Therefore, now both Android and iOS users can enjoy Apple Music service. Beats Music subscribers have access to the service until the music streaming service terminates on November 30.

The first three-month free trial also comes with the app and it is priced as $9.99/$14.99 per month.

 While, the User interface and design of the app are pretty similar to the iOS Apple Music App. But the Android app is still in beta, it doesn't contain Music Videos or the facility to sign up for  the family plan. Meanwhile, those of you who want to sign up for the Family plan, you will need to use an iOS device to do so.

 While, talking about the Android app of Apple Music, Apple executive Eddy Cue said:

"We wanted customers on Android to naturally be able to use it -- what they've learned and how they interact is common. Things as simple as [that] the share icon looks like an Android share icon; the menu structure being where it is; these are things that most Android customers are familiar with. We wanted to make sure that they felt very familiar with Apple Music when they sat down to use it."
