Apple has entered an agreement with two leading indie music groups, paving the way for thousands of labels to join its new streaming service.
Beggars Group and Merlin both indicated their approval of Apple's new offer.
On Monday, Apple reversed its decision not to pay artists for songs streamed during a free trial period offered to users, following criticism from singer Taylor Swift.
Beggars Group said it was "happy to endorse" the new deal with Apple.
The company manages some of the best-known indie labels, with artists such as Adele, Radiohead and Basement Jaxx on its XL Recordings label. - See more at: http://www.ictrepublic.com/2015/06/apple-enters-streaming-deal-with-indie.html#sthash.L78JfWxV.dpuf
