Twitter launched a new music discovery app called Twitter Music today.
The app connects to your Spotify or Rdio account and lets you play songs that your Twitter connections are listening to.
It also lets you browse through popular artists trending outside your Twitter network and recommends other songs based on the artists your already follow on Twitter.
If you don't have a Spotify or Rdio account, you can only listen to a short 30 second preview of each song from iTunes.
We took the app for a spin this morning. It's gorgeous. Songs that you're Twitter friends are listening to show up in an attractive tile layout. You just tap a tile to start streaming the song.
You can download Twitter Music for iPhone right here. It's not available on Android or other platforms yet.
When you first launch the app, you need to connect it to your Spotify or Rdio account. If you don't have either, tap "Listen Now" and you'll be able to listen to 30 second previews of tracks you discover from iTunes.
After you log in with Spotify or Rdio, you should connect Twitter Music to your Twitter account. Tap the top bar to see the drop-down menu, then tap the "Me" tab.
Next, you'll be prompted to sign in with your Twitter account. Tap the blue button.
