Twitter Music applications for Internet web browsers and Apple mobile devices let people see what songs are hot and get recommendations based on their tastes.
Twitter users can get 30-second samples of songs from iTunes, Spotify, or Rdio music services, but the default provider is Apple’s online shop iTunes.
